And you will also get a chance to fight one of the biggest fish in the world, the beautiful Blue Marlin! If you’re a beginner, don’t worry – the crew will show you everything you need to know.

If you choose, you can also visit the impressive long white sand beaches of the neighboring island of Boa Vista, where you can take a walk through the city of Sal Rei.
