Fishing trips with professional equipment on the best seabeds of the Strait of Otranto, for beginners and experts
Book on WhatsAppWe reply within minutes · Available 24/7
The sea of Otranto is generous: rocky seabeds dropping quickly into the deep blue of the strait make it ideal territory for bottom fishing and coastal trolling. Our fishing trips leave the Tourist Port at dawn or in the late afternoon, when the fish are most active and the sea shows its finest colours.
No experience needed: professional equipment is included and skipper Stefano, a lifelong fisherman, teaches you techniques, baits and the secrets of the right spots. Experienced anglers, on the other hand, will find a fishing companion who knows these seabeds metre by metre.
- Professional fishing equipment included
- Skipper-fisherman who knows the best seabeds
- Dawn or sunset trips, when the fish are biting
- Suitable for beginners, experts and families
Techniques and equipment
Rods, reels, bait and everything you need are on board: we bottom-fish over the rocky seabeds and troll along the coast, choosing the technique according to season and conditions. The trip can be tailored for beginners, families with children or expert anglers.
The catch is yours
Whatever you catch is yours to keep: sea bream, saddled bream, mackerel and, with a bit of luck, a catch worth telling stories about. The skipper will also show you how to clean and prepare the fish the Salento way.
Not just fishing
Between one cast and the next, the trip remains a cruise along one of Italy's most beautiful coasts: aperitivo on board, a swim if the season allows, and the return with the port of Otranto growing on the horizon.
