LOW SEASON EXPERIENCES ON TRABUCCO
Slow rhythms and ancient traditions
The low season on the Gargano (from September to May) offers slower rhythms and an intimate atmosphere, ideal for experiencing the Trabucchi exclusively. We have designed two different paths to let you discover the magic of our historic fishing machines.

The Master's Tales: Sunset with Luigi

📍 Trabucco Punta Santa Croce

Racconti sul trabucco Luigi in equilibrio sull'antenna

Suspended over the waters of Vieste's fishermen's port, with the fascinating Island of Sant'Eufemia as a backdrop, you won't just witness an explanation, but a journey through time with Luigi, a son of the sea and keeper of the trabucchi's secrets. Watching Luigi walk in balance on the antenna is a pure display of mastery. Among historical anecdotes and the sound of the waves, we will share a small Apulian aperitif.

Tuesdays and Thursdays, 19:00
• Duration: 50 minutes
• Reduced aperitif (taralli, olives, chips, prosecco)

Hands in the Net: In action with Matteo

📍 Trabucco di Scialmarino

The trabucco isn't just history; it's a living machine requiring muscle and passion. On Scialmarino bay, Matteo will guide you into the beating heart of this ancient craft. Here you don't just listen: you participate. You'll feel the roughness of the ropes, learn the mechanisms of the barrier net and, when the sea permits, join forces to haul the net. Followed by the fisherman's small aperitif.

Wednesdays and Fridays, 17:00
• Duration: 50 minutes
• Reduced aperitif (taralli, olives, chips, prosecco)
Rates for both experiences:
