Make an adventure out of your next trip in Alvor and go fishing with Welcome Boat Trips.

These waters are known for Conger Eel, Gilt-head (Seabream), European Seabass, and more – with any luck, you'll have tight lines in no time. You can expect to do some jigging, bottom fishing, or maybe something more specialized in this area.
If you're traveling with the family, you will be glad to know that kids are welcome aboard! If you don't have a child-sized life vest of your own, we have it on board. You're welcome to bring snacks so that everyone stays happy and energized!

Capt. Edgar operates a 28' StarFisher 840 sportfishing vessel that holds up to 8 passengers. It comes with everything you need for a productive day on the water. There's a toilet on board for your convenience.

Capt. Edgar has rods and reels for you. Live bait is included, but you should ask the captain whether you'll be catching it yourself.

The First Mate will be there to make sure everything is running smoothly.

Before boarding, our team will arrange a local fishing license for each member of your group. The cost should be paid directly to the crew on the day of the trip.

We recommend to bring bottled water, sunglasses, and sunblock (non-spray). If you'd like to bring other drinks, just ask. Alcohol is allowed in moderation, but you should avoid hard liquor as well as glass bottles.

How often would you rather be fishing? Go on and turn that day dream into a reality, with Welcome Boat Trips.

    Great fishing trip

    4 Hour Trip – Bottom Fishing Shared on October 4, 2026 • 4 adults

    We had such a great time. We couldn’t believe how many fish we caught. And a really good selection. I even caught a cuttlefish which was very exciting and a challenge to reel it in. 🤣 We would definitely do this trip again. The skippers were fantastic. Very good at explaining and helped a lot. 10********** for this trip 😊

    Die Fische hätten etwas grösser und vielseitiger sein können. Dafür haben wir aber noch Delfine sichten können. Der Caipten und seine Crew haben immer zur stelle und haben hilfreiche tips gegeben. Der Trip kann ich auf jeden fall weiterempfehlen.
