Terracina On the water

A full day at sea with the fishermen of Terracina

Terracina

This is a working boat, not a tour boat. You go out with the fishermen at first light, the nets come up while you watch, and the coast goes past at their pace rather than yours.

How the day goes

  1. Leaving the port of Terracina early, before the town is properly awake.
  2. Along the Riviera di Ulisse while the crew work the nets.
  3. Lunch cooked on board out of whatever has come up.
  4. Back into Terracina with the light already going long.

It is a long day on a small boat with a crew doing their job, and there is nowhere to step off; if the sea moves you about, take a shorter coastal run.
