What you can expect

  • Immerse yourself completely in the daily life of those who make their living from the sea on board the S.RITA III and enjoy an authentic experience of longline fishing, the most noble and selective technique in the Apulian tradition.

    The Experience

    You will witness the longlines being set in the silence of dawn. Once the technical phase is over, you will be served a typical fisherman's breakfast right on the boat.

    Participation

    During the hauling of the longlines, you will become an active part of the crew. In complete safety, you will experience the thrill of the fish being hauled in up close and personal and will take part in the operations on board.

    Drop-off

    At around 12:00 PM, you will head back to the port. The fishing trip will end with an Apulian aperitif accompanied by music, while you enjoy the beautiful morning light.

    You will also have the opportunity to purchase the catch of the day directly on board.
