Eat, sleep, and breathe fishing? So does Katjoa Extreme Fishing! Only in it for the ocean view, tan lines, and sweet pics? That's cool too. Whatever your reason, this crew will make your fish wishes come true.

Captain Pedro Casanova knows absolutely all the fishing spots in Algarve. He has won many accolades during his long career and is one of the initial founders of the Big game club of Portugal. He was selected as an International Representative for Bisbee's Fishing Tournaments. EFSA ex colaborator, and competed by FIPS.

Choose a half or full day of fishing fun aboard Capt. Pedro's 35' Luhrs boat, capable of accommodating up to 5 guests. She's fast, stable and solid, built for serious anglers. She's comfortable for long, offshore trips and as she features a private toilet, air-conditioned cabin, a flybridge, and a fighting chair. Combine this amazing tournament sportfisher with your fishing ambition and see what can happen!

Katjoa Extreme Fishing is all about catching the fastest species out there. Whether you want to target different types of Tuna, Marlin, Mahi Mahi, Capt. Pedro has all the tackle you need to reel them in. Just choose what you want to catch and Capt. Pedro will do his best to make it happen.

All trips are private, meaning your group will have the boat to yourselves. The fishing equipment, fishing licenses, drinks and snack is provided and included in the price.

This winter 2026, we made 2 major upgrades, in our boat; now we have a new omni sonar, and a new electric iron Min Kota; both to help us to improve fishing.
Numbers from the Big Rock Blue Marlin Tournament indicate that boats using omni sonar can experience catch rates 60% to 84% higher than those without this powerful technology.
No one would argue with the premise that omnidirectional sonar is a great fish-catching tool.

The best!!!
Reef Fishing on July 9, 20262 adults

What an absolutely incredible experience! We had a perfect sunny day, and the fishing was simply unbelievable we were catching fish almost every minute! Our captain was outstanding, making sure everyone had an amazing time while sharing his knowledge and enthusiasm. Everything exceeded our expectations, and we couldn't have asked for a better day on the water. Highly recommended, we'll definitely be back!

It is not the great days of fishing or tournament wins that make me love it so much, it's the small details of each day that remind me of how lucky I am. It can be the most action-filled day of White Marlin or Tuna fishing or the longest, roughest, and most uncomfortable crossing I've ever made, either way, it's my job. And I'm happy to do it. Of course, it's not all record-breaking days and tournament wins. There are certainly frustrating days but then I realize that I am doing something that I love. When we raise a double or a triple, I forget about looking up and get excited about fishing all over again.' Captain Pedro holds numerous tournament awards from All Millionaire Pacific Circuit Tournaments, the Los Cabos Billfish Tournament, and the South Africa WorldChampionship – to name a few. This winter 2026, we made 2 major upgrades, in our boat; now we have a new omni sonar, and a new electric iron Min Kota; both to help us to improve fishing. Numbers from the Big Rock Blue Marlin Tournament indicate that boats using omni sonar can experience catch rates 60% to 84% higher than those without this powerful technology.
