Great experience
Fishing Trip – Marlin/Tuna on June 18, 2025
Every part of this trip was a fantastic experience facilitated by Pedro and his mate Carlos; on my first time fishing for giant blue fin. They were both great hosts, sharing knowledge and stories and making extra effort to ensure my 7yr old son enjoyed the day, was kept safe and learnt the ways. We can’t wait to go again. Think we’ll try for the marlin and mahi mahi next time!

Epic family day on the water!
Full Day Trip – Reef Fishing on July 22, 2024
Cpt Pedro and first mate Joao gave us the trip of a lifetime! There were five of us (2 adults 3 kids) and everyone had a special moment on the water. Joao was amazing with my 5yr old daughter and 2 sons, giving each the attention they needed to be confident in their fish catching abilities. Cpt Pedro knew exactly where to fish, and spent much of the time pulling double duty as a tour guide - educating us on the history and beauty of the area. We were rewarded with about 25 fish and a world class dolphin show on the way back to land. I would highly recommend Katjoa. Next time we will have to go big and chase some Tuna!

I would fish with them again
Full Day Trip – Marlin / Bluefin on September 23, 2024
Captain Pedro tried his best to put me on marlin but the fish were not eating that day. I did catch some mahi and Skip jacks but even that action was slow. The water temperature wasn't ideal and the solunar table was not good so it was just one of those days when the fish were not active. I'm confident that if they were eating we would have put them in the boat. This man knows his stuff and if I ever came back to Portugal I would definitely go out with him again. Top notch boat and top notch equipment too.

"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.
