Fishing tourism



Fishing tourism is a new way of touring and it allows fishermen to have guests on board (usually tourists on holiday) other than the crew for touristic and recreational purposes.

Fishing tourism offers the chance to discover the most fascinating places of the island personally experiencing its history and traditions. Lowering and lifting fishing nets or pots, big game fishing or trawl fishing with pro fishermen is the most direct way to know and share gratifications and sacrifices of a very hard job.

Besides fishing , fishing trips give you the chance to swim in unspoilt corners and they include short underwater photo safari. When fishing trips take place along the coast they allow you to explore breathtaking beaches and cliffs, overlooking crystal clear water . each experience with fishermen, while doing fishing tourism, has its peak in a convivial gathering : mullets, hakes, swordfishes, tunas , mackerels, amberjacks, breams and octopus are just some of the several seafood that you can cook and eat straight on board.

The professional training for modern fishermen include not only the set of rules controlling the job , but also basics of tourism marketing, economy and business management , besides the knowledge of wildlife and its habitat. Projected on the third millennium, the fisherman’s job becomes necessarily interdisciplinary , putting together the knowledge passed down by tradition with information on parks and marine protected areas, with sustainable progress and with the act of promoting quality tourism for people looking for new emotions surrounded by nature, people who love food and seafood that can be tasted also at Elba fish tourisms.
