CVS Fishing offers unforgettable experiences both on the land and in the water with fishing taking place on the shore and on the boat in the wildest hot spots.

Your adventure will be an all-inclusive accommodation in a lodge. Terrain vehicles will transport you to and from your fishing adventure. Fishing equipment, internal transfer, airport pickup, camping equipment and a team of guides who speak English, Italian and Spanish are going to be a part of your trip.

Since you will travel around the island every day, fishing from a new spot, the accommodation will be in different places. Some of the base accommodations are located in local villages and some are on the beaches of Cape Verde. All accommodations have a bathroom and shower facilities.

You will be targeting Amberjack, various Sharks, Big Caranx, Grouper, Tuna, Mahi Mahi, Barracuda and many other species.

Fishing equipment is made of the top-level Shimano rods and reels, Yamaha blanks rods and Ripple fisher rods.

During the trip, you will have the chance to go out for dedicated boat fishing sessions. The Jigging technique here is amazing: big Amberjack up to 60kg, Yellowfin Tuna, Wahoo and Grouper are also on the list.

During boat transfers to reach the fishing spots, it's possible to go trolling for the tropical billfish that include massive Blue Marlin. Cape Verde is a premium spot for Blue Marlin fishing, as the climate suits them perfectly and they populate the local waters in very healthy numbers.

Your jigging fishing adventure takes place aboard a 23' custom-built saltwater fishing boat. It's powered by two 50 HP Yamaha engines that make it perfect for getting 4 anglers to the most productive fishing grounds efficiently. Safety equipment, electronics, GPS, fishfinder and fighting chair are available on the boat.

CVS Fishing crew will provide everything you will need on your adventure, so book today for a once in a lifetime fishing adventure!

Perfect expedition
10 Day Trip on August 20, 2017

It is not easy to face an expedition in Africa, without having everything planned. That little or nothing was left to chance, is the feeling I had after contacting the guys from Cape Verde Fishing. Once in place, the feeling was strengthened by their ability to deal with the thousands of tasks that fishing this special place requires. And fishing was simply perfect! Punctually they did not miss their support, even with local assistants when extra hands were necessary. Andrea and Luke apart from being very good and easygoing guys are perfect connoisseurs of the sea and the island. They put us easily on the fish, on spots they fished for years, allowing even my less experienced friend to obtain excellent results. The particularity of places and accommodation completes the full immersion in the African climate, ranging from the small local hotels to essential family houses, but always surrounded by the special Creole hospitality. In summary, I think this is a unique experience beyond words, that must be part of the cultural background of every angler looking for a tailored and professionally guided adventure in this part of the Atlantic Ocean.Was a pleasure to fish with them in August 2017 and planning another trip in March. Highly recommended

Amazing adventure
10 Day Trip on September 27, 2015

Thanks to the proposal of a friend who had already participated in this trip, I lived one of the most beautiful experiences of my life, and I'm not talking just about fishing. The guys are fantastic. From the beginning, the whole trip is well described and organized in detail. And it was at this stage that they promised me unexpected things. 1. The accommodation was nice and comfortable, overlooking the ocean, even if we didn't use it so much. 2. I wasn't equipped with correct gear for those fish. They provide all the necessary. Shimano in particular. 3. For a big part of the journey, you go around with a 4x4 pickup with all the equipment in the trunk. Like real adventurers! 4. Fantastic fishing spots ... impossible to reach without true experts of the place. And I believe they have been out there for quite a long time. Every sunrise and sunset we were taken to spectacular places. 5. Luk and Andrea availability, fishing tips to achieve what is, in the end, the key reason for the trip ... hooking fish! Many, different species, and fish that is not always possible to land!! Boat fishing is an alternative when the sea conditions allow. 6. Last and not least, the food, which was a little concern for me before the trip. When the 2 local restaurants (essential but very good and familiar to the guides) were not available to prepare local specialities (go for lobsters and crabs is you have doubts !!), they were able to delight us with great pasta dishes or cooking our caught fish at the lodge. Really relaxing atmospheres after a long day out. Well, I could go on for much longer as the emotions on this trip have been infinite, but I would like to simply recommend this adventure with them, as an enriching experience beyond words and fishing.

Always been travelling for fishing in Sicily with my father and grandfather from my childhood, after my architect degree decided to change life and jump into tourism and adventure trips to work with my passion for fishing and wild places of Sicily and some other hotspots around the world like Canary islands and Africa. Today I guide also wild and adventurous trips in Sicily. I'm also a fishing videomaker and reporter, Shimano Italy ambassador.
