I was born on Faial Island in 1977, where I grew up with a deep passion for the ocean. I started fishing at a young age, gaining experience in many traditional fishing activities, from small wooden boats to the bigger Tuna fishing vessels. Also, freediving and sustainable spearfishing became popular activities. My experience and passion for the ocean led me to buy my own fishing boat to earn my living. And I decided to initiate a project allowing visitors to the Azores to join in a traditional fishing activity, to have a unique experience learning about the ocean and Azorean traditions. I now also have the opportunity to receive visitors at my 'Casa do Cais, Casa do Guardião and Deck', my ocean house and tourism places, where people have a wonderful base for a fantastic holiday right on the oceanfront. Be welcome please and make yourself at home!

    Great Fishing Trip with Roger

    5 Hour Trip (PM) • 2 adults

    We were 2 people and went out for fishing with Roger. He is a professional fisherman and told us a lot of interesting things about fishes around the Islands and about several fishing methods. We had a great experience on this day when we fished around 100 Kilo of Triggerfish. Those fishes are great fighters and it was a lot of fun to get them out of the water. In the end, Roger was filleting our catch live on the ocean and explains interesting things about his method. We could keep as much fish as we want and we can say that the Triggerfish is one of the delicious fish we ever had. Roger also gives us good instructions to fry or grill the fish. For those people who don’t want to cook on their own, he has an agreement with a restaurant where you can take your catch and they cook it for you for a small cooking fee. Overall we had a lot of fun with Roger and I can highly recommend to go fishing with him!! Great time and thanks again for this very nice adventure!!!
