Fishing tourism in Procida – a night as fishermen: details
Departure is scheduled for around 8.00 pm from Marina Corricella, a characteristic and suggestive fishing port. The motor-fishing vessel go offshore between Procida and Pozzuoli. Here you can admire the spectacular phase of placing the nets and attracting the fish with the lampare, particular lamps placed on 2 or more small boats, called daughters. Equally exciting is the phase in which, once the anchovies have been attracted, the daughter boats move to allow the fishermen to tighten and close the bottom of the nets and bring the catch to the mother boat.
