  Caught a ton if corvina (croaker) and sea trout!

  4 Hour Trip (PM) on August 19, 2026 • 2 adults • 1 child

  Captain Manuel and first mate Fernando were awesome! They took us to a known fishing spot in the estuary, and we caught what seemed like a nonstop amount of croaker and sea trout.  they were very accommodating to my son, who is 12 years old, and handed him the real every time a fish was on. Overtime, my son was able to spot when fish were biting, and was able to reel it himself, which was such an awesome experience and gave him a sense of accomplishment.  all in all, it was such a great experience and we would definitely go out with them again!

  Birthday fishing trip

  Full day trip (snacks&wines) on August 11, 2026 • 3 adults

  I knew it was going to be a GREAT day of fishing when we pulled out of the marina and were immediately surrounded by dolphins! They were swimming, playing, and jumping all around us. The captain said it only happens maybe twice a year and my birthday just happened to be the day! And the dolphins weren’t the only excitement…we caught A LOT of fish! We caught trout and croaker, and the fun just kept going. The captain provided delicious snacks, food, and beverages throughout the entire day. During our planning for the trip, I mentioned that it was going to be my birthday, and he surprised me with a cake, candles, and a bottle of champagne! What an incredibly thoughtful and kind gesture. Dolphins, fish, great food, and a birthday surprise!! An absolute PERFECT birthday on the water!

  Recommend Captain Manuel and Ricardo

  4 Hour Trip (PM) on April 9, 2026 • 2 adults

  Very nice and comfortable boat to fish from, Captain Manuel and Ricardo were patient, knowledgeable and very willing to explain the fishery, how we would fish, and provide history of the area. Very easy to talk to, like fishing with friends. Liked that they did not "fish" for us. They let us fish. We were out about three hours and caught dozen or so speckled trout and a small monger eel. As in hunting, for me a great experience is the reward when fishing somewhere new - catching is a bonus. With Captain Manuel and Ricardo, my son-in-law and I got both.

  above all expectations

  4 Hour Trip (AM) on August 14, 2026 • 2 adults

  We had a fantastic fishing experience today in Lisbon with Emanuel! He was professional, knowledgeable, patient, and incredibly friendly, making the whole trip both enjoyable and memorable. He knew exactly where to take us, explained everything clearly, and made sure we had a great time throughout the experience. And most importantly - we caught more than five fish, which made the day even more exciting! A wonderful way to enjoy Lisbon from the water and experience something different. Thank you, Emanuel, for a great highly recommended!

  Absolutely the best

  4h fishing with wines! on August 16, 2026 • 2 adults

  This trip was perfect. Beyond the boat and equipment being top-knotch, Manuel and Paullo are experts on the water and ecosystem. Bait and jig fishing was terrific, brought in plenty of sea trout and a few beautiful corvino. I learned so much as a new fisherman to salt water. Memories for a lifetime, good times with this crew, and great fishing. I will travel across the ocean to fish with these guys again. 10000% recommended ❤️‍🔥
