Bari: Fishing Experience Aboard an Authentic Gozzo Boat

What a legend Alfonso is! He greeted us with a huge smile and a little sing along to 'Rain' by The Cult before we headed out to hunt for octopus. With his expert knowledge and bucket of crabs we soon hauled up our first octopus which scared the life out of me and my fiancée! Alfonso expertly prepared the octopus in traditional fashion - get this man a Michelin star! Highly recommend Alfonso if you want a memorable fishing and dining experience with a lot of laughs and singing thrown in! Charlie + Marcela

The fishing trip was originally a gift for our 15-year-old son, but in the end, we all enjoyed it tremendously! The weather was perfect, and Alfonso was absolutely fantastic. He kept changing spots to make sure we had the best chance of catching something, and he even prepared wine and snacks for us, which made the experience even more special. I highly recommend this experience to anyone looking for a memorable and enjoyable day!

This was an absolutely amazing experience! I booked this trip as a birthday gift for my husband, and it turned out to be a perfect choice. Alfonso is a fantastic guy – very friendly, funny, and clearly passionate about what he does. During the trip, we even discovered that it was Alfonso’s birthday too 😄 which made the atmosphere even more special! We had such a great time – my husband caught a lot of fish, and the highlight was definitely when he fulfilled his dream and caught an octopus! And that happened around 11:30 AM, even though Alfonso mentioned earlier that it’s not the best time for octopus fishing and we might not catch anything. That made it even more exciting! The wine Alfonso served was delicious, and the snacks were great too. I personally don’t fish, but I still loved every minute – I could relax, sunbathe at the front of the boat, and just enjoy the moment. Seeing how happy my husband was made it even more special. I highly recommend this experience – great vibes,

We had an incredible fishing experience aboard a traditional fishing boat in Bari! The entire trip was fantastic, filled with great fun and unforgettable memories. It was especially amazing for the kids—they enjoyed every moment and learned so much. The catch was excellent, and everyone on board had a blast. I highly recommend this adventure to anyone visiting Bari who’s looking for a unique way to spend their time. Truly an exceptional day we’ll remember forever!
