Sea of Galilee Fishing

Cast your line. Experience the Bible.

Ask about this tour

Slip out onto the Sea of Galilee — the Kinneret — at first light, on the very waters where Peter, Andrew, James and John worked their nets. This is a private charter with a licensed captain: a calm two hours of rod-and-reel fishing, sunrise over the Golan, and quiet time for photos and reflection before you rejoin your group for the day. More than fishing — it is an experience you will never forget.

Who this tour is for

  • Groups wanting a hands-on Galilee experience
  • Travellers drawn to the Gospel accounts on the lake
