A melhor pesca de sempre!
4 Hour Trip – Bottom Fishing Shared on July 21, 20262 adults

Ofereci este passeio de pesca ao meu marido pelo seu aniversário e foi, sem dúvida, um presente inesquecível. Era a nossa primeira experiência de pesca num barco pequeno e adorámos! Conseguimos apanhar vários peixes e divertimo-nos imenso. A equipa foi cinco estrelas: muito simpática, prestável e sempre pronta a ajudar, especialmente por ser a nossa primeira vez. Tornaram esta experiência ainda mais especial. Recomendamos a 100% e voltaremos com todo o gosto!

4 Hour Trip – Bottom Fishing Shared on August 8, 20262 adults

my wife and I booked this trip as part of our honeymoon and it did not disappoint. the captain and crew were fantastic. they were helpful and great at providing tips. We were catching fish within minutes of stopping and caught seemingly non stop for hours. we even caught a large red snapper each, which was delicious when we took it to their partner restaurant. if we are ever back in the area we will be booking again!

4 Hour Trip – Bottom Fishing Shared on May 28, 20262 adults

Myself and my son booked in for 4 hour bottom fishing this morning and had a brilliant experience and caught lots of fish which we enjoyed at restaurant when we came back in from fishing. The crew are amazing start to finish and full of knowledge and extremely helpful. Boat left on time and is a must do experience for anyone who likes to fish. Price is very affordable and fair. We will be returning when we visit again to next time do the shark 🦈 fishing. I'd rate the experience 10/10 for the staff alone.

Reported catch:
Gilt-head Seabream

We're delighted to hear that you and your son had such a memorable fishing trip and enjoyed catching plenty of fish together.

We work hard to provide a friendly, knowledgeable, and enjoyable experience for all our guests, so it's wonderful to hear that their efforts helped make your trip so special. We truly appreciate your recommendation and are thrilled that you found the trip great value for money.

Great day catching
4 Hour Trip – Bottom Fishing Shared on May 20, 20262 adults

First cast caught a fish. Subsequent casts produced more fish. Varieties included white and black bream, horse mackerel, and trumpet fish. Our 4 hr excursion with 8 anglers ended with over 60 fish. Took our catch to the restaurant next door and they cleaned and cooked them up and served with salad, potatoes, and some sort of stuffing, for 10 euros. Delicious. Captain and crew were awesome. Highly recommend.
