These two days fishing for Bluefin Tuna were absolutely amazing, thank you guys!

The crew does everything possible to catch fish and was alo really helpful with everything like how to handle the rod.

Thank you very much!

This guy is a legend, pure and simple.

We had 2 days booked out of Marzememi with Andrea on this trip. When our first day was hampered by strong winds in Marzememi, Andrea took us to another boat in Ragusa which was more sheltered from the northerly winds blowing down the Sicilian East coast. We fished with his friends on their boat and Andrea joined us for the day for the experience. We went 2 for 2 on some 50KG class tuna and had a great day. I don’t know another skipper anywhere in the world who would organise a backup in the event of bad weather and attend himself too, providing some of his own tackle, just for the love of it.

The following day we went 1 for 2 on Andrea’s boat with an 80KG fish at boat side and a second fish that didn’t properly hook up after an incredible initial run.

Andrea is a top chap, excellent host and a knowledgeable and experienced captain. He’s very passionate about his fishing too and you’ll always have a good day with him regardless of whether the fish bite. I’ve fished with him for 3 days in total and have landed 5 bluefin between 45 and 110KG.

He prepares excellent breakfasts (coffee and croissants) and lunches with burrata, mozzarella, salami, mortadella and olives. I must mention that it’s obligatory to drink a beer after you’ve caught a tuna, with a slosh of it being donated to the sea for the fish gods.

Finally, and most importantly for me, he practises catch and release. I love tuna, and it would break my heart to needlessly kill one. Andrea understands and fully embraces catch and release, which isn’t true of others down there.

My father and I booked a fishing trip with Andrea. It was a fantastic experience. We were targeting Mediterranean Spearfish and Albacore Tuna. We started early at 5.30am and headed out as the sun rose with Captain Frank at the wheel. Andrea offered us some incredible freshly baked pastries and espressos.

Throughout the day we caught an albacore tuna and a dorado. We also saw dolphins and sea turtles on multiple occasions. Andrea is exceptionally knowledgable about fishing and has a genuine love for it. We were constantly changing tactics to ensure that we caught.

He is also extremely knowledgable about Sicily in general and we had lots of interesting conversations with him about the island and its history. Andrea speaks excellent English. There is probably no better way to take in the view of Mount Etna than on a fishing boat miles out from shore.

I would highly recommend any fishing trip with Andrea. We were trolling for big fish but I know that Andrea offers a wide range of other trips to suit preferences and depending on the time of year.

Andrea took my wife and me out Bluefin tuna fishing, and we had an exceptional time. Andrea was the perfect host and put us right on the fish. He is an experienced fisherman and a joy to be around. After only a short time together, I felt like I had known him for years.

We had the oportunity to catch different kinds of fish such as Barracuda, Mahi Mahi, Abacore Tuna and even small Swordfish.
Especially Mahi mahi and barracudas were delicious on grill in the evening.

I recommend the trip and captain Andrea who is pretty experienced in fishing and above all he explains the technigues and fish behavior so we have learn a lot for our another fishing tours. We had all a lot of fun on trip.
