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, 20262 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, 20252 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

GREAT fishing trip!
4 Hour Trip – Costal Fishing (PM) on August 23, 20251 adult1 child

This was a great fishing trip! Leo is a pro fisherman, with all the experience that comes from generations of azores fisherman. My son (who loves fishing) had the best time catching fish that we could never catch in the US where we live. My son can be hard to please, but he loves everything about it. We caught squid, rockfish, grouper, and other exotic (to us) fish. It was one of the most fun things we've done here. 5 stars for Leo's fishing tour!

El tiempo no nos ha acompañado: viento y olas. Aún así el capitán ha intentado moverse de sitio para pescar más. Hemos pescado besugos, cabras, caballa... Leo un chico majo y hemos itercambiado conocimientos.
