My name is Leonardo, better known as Leo, I come from a family of several generations of sea wolves, born and raised in Rabo de Peixe.
I have maritime knowledge that life has brought me, through my ancestors and life lived at sea, with a real traditional fishing vessel, made by my own father called 'Leonardo da Gilda'.
My main fishing style is squid fishing, using sustainable and environmentally friendly methods, helping above all to preserve our precious asset, the sea.
In addition to fishing for squid, you can also fish with me for other listed species, with notice at the time of booking.
On our trip, you will also be able to discover the famous cave where the story that ended up becoming the Netflix series 'Turn of the Tide' was born.
If you're lucky, you'll even be able to see dolphins that regularly accompany us on our trips to the sea.
We always recommend bringing sunglasses, as well as sunscreen, but if you forget yours, we have one for you, as well as snacks and water.
Alcoholic drinks are permitted in small quantities.
Hug,
Leonardo

Pêche extraordinaire avec Leonardo!
4 Hour Trip – Costal Fishing (AM) on June 15, 2026 • 2 adults
Pêche traditionnelle sur petit bateau.
Leonardo aime partager son métier passion, il est né ici et pêche depuis toujours.
Enfant il ne voulait jamais aller à l’école et voulait toujours partir en mer.
Aujourd’hui, il pêche au large de Ribo Do Peixe.
Quand il emmène des gens avec lui, la journée leur est consacrée, il vous emmène sur différents sites et vous montre la technique adaptée à chaque site et au poisson espère ici.
Aujourd’hui, nous avons pêché à la traîne et à la canne.
Des pages, des mérous, et des balistes.
Vous garderez le poisson pour vous, nous repas sont assurés pour 3 jours!!
C’est une pêche durable, vous prenez ce que vous consommez, les plus petites prises sont rejetées.

Good Shore Fishing Despite Rain
4 Hour Trip – Costal Fishing (AM) on September 23, 2025 • 2 adults
Arrived at location at 8 am in overcast conditions. Captain advised that rain was in the forecast aand if we wanted to proceed. we decided to go ahead. Boarded boat and stored our gear and set out. About 30 minutes in the rain started light but waves were ok . Caught a couple small fish that we released. Leonardo got us onto some fish and assisted with baiting and we soon caught a couple of keepers. We continued in this manner for a couple hours getting about six keepers. The rain did persist, not cold but we did get soaked. Caught a 2.5 ft baracuda trolling back to the dock. Leo cleaned the fish for us and sent us on our way. Would defintely do it again

Unique hands on experience
4 Hour Trip – Costal Fishing (PM) on June 30, 2025 • 2 adults
Captain Leo clearly loves sharing his traditional knowledge with clients. He let us do as much as we were comfortable with, which meant we could drop the bait, monitor depth, and detect bites, and reel up the fish. He was very helpful teaching and showing, and he would go through the motions for us if we asked.
We got some extra time fishing as he didn't have clients after us. The other client called him a "fishing nut", we could tell Capt Leo didn't want to stop. Perfect qualities for a guide. He also instructed us how to prepare the fish as well.
If you want a more hands on and unique experience we highly recommend Captain Leo.

4 Hour Trip – Costal Fishing (PM) on July 13, 2025
We were very lucky to find Leonardo through the platform. Even though we contacted him just a day before our trip and there were no available slots, he still managed to organize everything for us. We made it out to sea, and it turned out to be an unforgettable experience. The crew did their best to find the best fishing spots and made sure we were comfortable the entire time. I even caught my first squid! A great memory for sure. At the end of the trip, Leonardo arranged for a restaurant to cook our catch – it was delicious. Huge thanks! Highly recommended!

Leo was great. We had some unexpected changes to our schedule and he worked with us to find a new time that would work for us. We caught many fish and he did a great job helping us do so. Would recommend to anyone looking to go fishing in the Azores
