Pescaturismo Evolution Viareggio

About

The activity of Pesca-Tourism, a different kind of tourism made not only to show the beauty of the sea and its incredible resources, but also to give the possibility to live for a whole day in touch with the work, the traditions and the legends, that Cpt Alfo will be very proud to make you know in the closest way possible. The departure is usually at 8 a.m. from Viareggio's Pear (the boat is anchored at Piazzale Don Sirio Politi 2, Lungo Molo Palombari dell' Artiglio) makin' route towards the Big Blue to sail the nets put in the previous evening by the crew. In that way the Hosts could learn the secrets of non-industrial fishing by seeing the recovery of depth-fishing nets and partecipating in the sorting of the just-fished fishes (soles, cicale, lobsters, cuttlefishes, squids, octopuses, hakes, red mullets, oratas, turbot fishes, sea basses, mullets). The diversity between the different fishes depends on the technique used; on board are also available fishing rods to try to catch some wonderful fish by yourself (an experience both for experts and amateurs of every age). Then naturally you're going to taste the freshest fish you could eat just right on the boat with the captain and its crew going on in telling you they're stories and how the sea-life as changed through the years and what it means to live it nowaday. 'Course a stop in the sea to dive in the blue is always expected to snorkle have great fun. The return to Viareggio is going to be near 5 p.m. (Max 12 people/boat trip)
