Full description
In Bari, the sea is not just a backdrop: it is a language, a habit, almost a relative!
In this fishing experience you will board an authentic Bari gozzo together with a local sailor to discover techniques and rituals handed down through generations.
For two and a half hours you will experience the most authentic side of the city between bolentino fishing, sea tales and sailing along the coast, with equipment included and the catch to take home!
What we will do
The appointment is 5 minutes before the indicated time at the meeting point in Bari (BA) . Waiting for you will be Alfonso, a sailor from Bari and guide of the experience, who will accompany you during this outing dedicated to traditional local fishing.
After an initial briefing, you will board the gozzo and leave the port of Bari, sailing along the city's coastline. During the crossing you will listen to stories, anecdotes and curiosities about the life of fishermen and the historical relationship between Bari and its sea.
In the course of the experience, you will be able to choose whether to go bolentino fishing or octopus fishing, a practice still widespread in Bari's maritime culture. Alfonso will show you the techniques used, guiding you step by step during the activity, and then deliver the catch, which you can take home!
After spending a few hours among tales of the sea, fishing lines, and local traditions, you will return to your starting point in the port of Bari.
The activity will last a total of 2½ hours.
