    Great day on the ocean with Nuno and his “assistant”. Caught a lot of fish: Red Snapper, Grouper, etc., in the nicest weather🌞 Nuno was kind and always helpful with tips, bait, etc. Highly recommend 👏👏

    Got a private trip!

    Blue River Fishing • 1 adult

    I met the Captain Nuno and his sailor Paul at the local cafe where they bought breakfast and lunch for the trip (fresh pastries and ham and cheese sandwiches), they were friendly and on time. I was the only fisherman for the day! We drove a few miles out to sea while they told me about the sights and they spoke English well which was helpful as I had been start with the language. We set up and I had a fish on the line within 5 minutes. They baited all the hooks and explained about the species we were after. I caught about 12 fish of various local species. I would 100% recommend this tour to any beginning fisherman and I would definitely hire them again! I had a great time.

    Nuno and Vitor were awesome, very knowledgeable of the area, the type of fish, and very respectful of the water and others on the water. I would 100% recommend Nuno as my guide, he was awesome. Thanks for a great experience.

    Let me thank you for a wonderful day we spent with Nuno and Pedro. We had a good time, caught some fish, saw dolphins, shark, shared a beer and had a peaceful day at the sea. I would definitely recommend this crew, as they made our day truly exceptional.

    My boyfriend and I went on a full day winter trip with Captain Nuno and had an excellent time. Weather was beautiful, boat was well maintained, and the Captain and crew were knowledgeable, helpful, and spoke good English. Caught cuttlefish, squid, and a variety of fish throughout the day. Keep in mind that the usual timeframe is departing at 6:30am and returning to the dock at 5:30pm, so it is truly a full day of fishing. I highly recommend this charter to anyone who likes to fish, truly a unique experience in a wonderful setting.
