Italian term or phrase: paranza
Not sure if this is a float or an actual boat that goes out to sea, it isn't clear, help much appreciated thanks

Il 16 di agosto si festeggia San Rocco con una caratteristica processione.
La statua viene caricata su una “paranza” e condotta per un lungo tratto di mare che arriva fino a San Cataldo.
Artigianato
L’artigianato locale mantiene in vita l’antica tradizione dei tappeti e delle coperte fatte a mano, che si conserva dal tempo delle incursioni dei Turchi Ottomani

English translation:a (small) trawler / trawl boat
Explanation:
Before, it used to be always used in pairs (hence the name) – a small twin-boat trawler. Nowadays, it's usually a small single trawler.

It' not a translation for an encyclopaedia but for some popular travelogue. Hence a technical rendering would be totally out of place.

Actually, you can use "paranza" for a more exotic flavour, perhaps with a translation aside. The term is not exactly as widespread as "pizza" but is sometimes used in English. I.e.:

agree  Shabelula: as we say "pesce di paranza" for the common local fish you find at the supermarket, I'd just say "fishing boat" or "trawler"

  -> thanks Raffaela. But no, paranza is a trawler – not the trawler. There are lots of different trawlers – huge, medium and small. Paranza is just one, very small, variety of the trawler species.
