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.
