Arrived at location at 8 am in overcast conditions. Captain advised that rain was in the forecast aand if we wanted to proceed. we decided to go ahead. Boarded boat and stored our gear and set out. About 30 minutes in the rain started light but waves were ok . Caught a couple small fish that we released. Leonardo got us onto some fish and assisted with baiting and we soon caught a couple of keepers.ย We continued in this manner for a couple hours getting about six keepers. The rain did persist, not cold but we did get soaked. Caught a 2.5 ft baracuda trolling back to the dock.ย Leo cleaned the fish for us and sent us on our way.ย Would defintely do it again

Captain Leo clearly loves sharing his traditional knowledge with clients. He let us do as much as we were comfortable with, which meant we could drop the bait, monitor depth, and detect bites, and reel up the fish.ย He was very helpful teaching and showing, and he would go through the motions for us if we asked. We got some extra time fishing as he didnโt have clients after us. The other client called him a โfishing nutโ, we could tell Capt Leo didnโt want to stop. Perfect qualities for a guide. He also instructed us how to prepare the fish as well. If you want a more hands on and unique experience we highly recommend Captain Leo.

We were very lucky to find Leonardo through the platform. Even though we contacted him just a day before our trip and there were no available slots, he still managed to organize everything for us. We made it out to sea, and it turned out to be an unforgettable experience. The crew did their best to find the best fishing spots and made sure we were comfortable the entire time. I even caught my first squid! A great memory for sure. At the end of the trip, Leonardo arranged for a restaurant to cook our catch โ it was delicious. Huge thanks! Highly recommended!

Leo was great. We had some unexpected changes to our schedule and he worked with us to find a new time that would work for us. We caught many fish and he did a great job helping us do so. Would recommend to anyone looking to go fishing in the Azores
This was a great fishing trip! Leo is a pro fisherman, with all the experience that comes from generations of azores fisherman. My son (who loves fishing) had the best time catching fish that we could never catch in the US where we live. My son can be hard to please, but he loves everything about it. We caught squid, rockfish, grouper, and other exotic (to us) fish. It was one of the most fun things weโve done here. 5 stars for Leoโs fishing tour!
