Full description
Feeling in tune with the sea? With this tour, you can turn into a fisherman for a day!
You will set sail from Marina di Campo for a boat excursion to the Island of Elba, during which you will visit uncrowded coves , snorkel in enchanting waters and catch your own fish that will be cooked for lunch!
All accompanied by music, sympathy and a delicious aperitif!
What we will do
The rendezvous is 10 minutes before the indicated time at the meeting point in Marina di Campo (LI), where the skipper who will accompany us on this excursion will be waiting for us. After an initial briefing to discover the secrets of the fisherman's trade, we will start sailing, pushing off to the open sea.
After about 30 minutes, we will reach the spot where the fishing nets have been cast and follow the instructions of the crew to lift them up and retrieve the catch. We will then head to a sheltered, uncrowded cove that can only be reached by sea, where we will celebrate the conclusion of our fishing session with a rich aperitif of pizzas, chips and other salty snacks, accompanied by beer, prosecco and soft drinks.
During the stop we will be able to snorkel with fins and masks provided by the skipper and try out the SUP that will be made available to us. And while we swim in the beautiful waters of Elba Island, the crew will prepare lunch (included) : a first course of pasta with fish and a second course based on the catch of the day (guaranteed even in case of poor fishing) .
In the afternoon, we will sail to another cove for a second dip in the sea and some relaxation. Finally, before returning, we will lower the nets again, which will be collected the next day. The return to port is scheduled for 16: 00.
The activity will last a total of 7 hours.
