South Cruise Adventures is here to show you the stunning waters of Povoacao, and with Captain Miguel Braga at the helm, you’ll have a knowledgeable and experienced guide.

These waters are known for Blackfin Tuna, Dogtooth Tuna, Red Grouper, Wahoo, Great Barracuda, Dolphin (Mahi Mahi), Amberjack, Gray Triggerfish, and more – with any luck, they’ll make your reel scream.

During the trip you likely to be popping, trolling, jigging, and bottom fishing.

Families making of a day of it will be glad to know that kids are welcome aboard! Children must wear life vests, so find out if the appropriate size is available on board.

You’ll be casting lines from a 24’ Pilothouse with room for 4 passengers. It comes with all the essentials no fishing trip can run without.
Capt. Miguel will provide rods and reels for you, as well as lures.

There’s no need to buy a fishing license, so all you have to do is show up ready for a good time! Have in mind that you may release some fish due to regulations. If you don’t know what to expect, feel free to ask the captain.

Some essentials to bring are sunglasses, bottled water, and sunblock (non-spray). There will be some drinks on offer, but let the captain know if you wish to bring your own. Alcohol is allowed in moderation, just be sure to avoid hard liquor as well as glass bottles. There will be some light snacks included on board as well.

Your trip with South Cruise Adventures is just a click away, so why not make it happen?

4 Hour Trip – Bottom Fishing (AM)

Highly Recommend This Charter

VERIFIED

This was hands down my favorite fishing charter experience ever. Captain Miguel was incredible — knowledgeable, friendly, and made the whole trip feel relaxed and fun. The first mate was equally awesome, super helpful and great company throughout the day. We caught a ton of grouper and had some really good conversations along the way. Both Miguel and the first mate were genuinely kind and made sure everyone had a great time. If you're looking for a top-notch fishing trip, this is the one. Can't recommend it enough!
