Shared fishing with hand rope

This shared fishing outing takes you out to sea for four hours aboard a simple but reliable boat, in the company of a local fisherman. It is aimed at travelers who would rather stay away from mass tourism and see how fishing is done in the area, without the usual rods and reels.

Your host is a fisherman with years of experience. According to the operator, he does not speak much English, but he knows the sea very well and will take you to the spots he considers best for fishing. Since language may be limited, expect a practical, hands-on outing rather than a lecture.

Fishing is done the old-fashioned way, with hand ropes, as the regional fishermen do. The operator describes it as a genuine, relaxed and exciting experience. What you catch may be yours to keep; horse mackerel and snapper are among the species mentioned, and the result depends on the season, although the operator says fishing is almost always good.

This tour suits people who want something different and real rather than a packaged excursion. It is listed as suitable for all physical fitness levels, but it is not recommended for travelers with spinal injuries. Infants must sit on an adult's lap.

On the practical side, a locker is included and you are free to bring your own food, drinks or beers, so you can enjoy the trip your way. Public transportation options are available nearby. The listing does not state a meeting point, so confirm it when you book.
