Hello, I am Pedro. I'm 42 years old, and I have 27 years of experience as a fisherman. My father had a traditional Azorean fishing boat 'Barco de Boca Aberta' and I started learning with the old fisherman at the age of 15. I worked professionally on fishing until the age of 30. Now we (my sister Patricia and i) started this project of touristic fishing and we are loving it, because we enjoy meeting new people from different countries and cultures. We can say that we love what we do. See you soon. Pedro and Patricia

    U nfortunately, I was not able to go on this trip due to an illness in my family. When my 3, 23 year-olds arrived back at our Airbnb they were very excited about the trip and informed me that Pedro was an excellent host. they recommend this to everyone. Thank you Captain Pedro.

    Super Pedro!

    Half Day Trip (AM) – Private • 4 adults • 1 child

    Nous avons passé un super moment de découverte, de navigation et bien entendu de pêche avec Pedro. Barracuda, seriole, baliste, sar... Plusieurs techniques de pêche ont permis de prendre des très beaux poissons et en quantité même pour les enfants. Je recommande fortement.

    The trip with Pedro was very enjoyable. Pedro seems very experienced and knows the coastal waters well. We fished using both trolling and jigging techniques and caught various types of fish (barracudas, triggerfish, snapper, groupers). At the end, Pedro filleted some of the fish for us, and we were able to have them freshly prepared at a restaurant. I think the price-performance ratio for the fishing trip is excellent. We’d be happy to come again.
