Good !
Jigging Trip on August 1, 20224 adults

Great experience. Both kids caught fish. The 4-hour trip was a bit short as it includes travel time to the fishing spots and back to port. The captain knows the spots well and adapts to the weather to find the fish. Not much French spoken but communication works between fishing enthusiasts!

wonderful day at sea
Big Game Fishing - Blue Marlin on June 8, 20211 adult

a wonderful day full of tension and expectations. The catch of Blue Merlin and big fish is amazing because it is not 100% successfully completed every day. Happiness must always be tried, and one day it will come. Thanks to the professionals with a hunting heart Gonçalo and Adrien. See you next time, friends.
