Porto Pescas Rabo de Peixe
Rabo de Peixe, AC, Portugal

My name is Leonardo, better known as Leo, I come from a family of several generations of sea wolves, born and raised in Rabo de Peixe.

I have maritime knowledge that life has brought me, through my ancestors and life lived at sea, with a real traditional fishing vessel, made by my own father called 'Leonardo da Gilda'.

My main fishing style is squid fishing, using sustainable and environmentally friendly methods, helping above all to preserve our precious asset, the sea.
In addition to fishing for squid, you can also fish with me for other listed species, with notice at the time of booking.

On our trip, you will also be able to discover the famous cave where the story that ended up becoming the Netflix series 'Turn of the Tide' was born.
If you're lucky, you'll even be able to see dolphins that regularly accompany us on our trips to the sea.

We always recommend bringing sunglasses, as well as sunscreen, but if you forget yours, we have one for you, as well as snacks and water.
Alcoholic drinks are permitted in small quantities.

Hug,
Leonardo

Good Shore Fishing Despite Rain
4 Hour Trip – Costal Fishing (AM) on септембар 23, 20252 adults
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. 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. Leo cleaned the fish for us and sent us on our way. 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. 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 didn’t have clients after us. The other client called him a “fishing nut”, we could tell Capt Leo didn’t 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.

Very nice fishing trip with a knowlegeable captain
4 Hour Trip – Costal Fishing (PM) on мај 13, 20253 adults
We went on a fishing trip with Captain Leo for our friend's birthday, who is an avid fisherman. Captain Leo was very kind and endeavored to provide for us a save and relaxed experience. This fishing trip provides a unique experience to those who wish to learn the traditional azorean way of fishing and is worlds apart from the trips you'd find in large touristic ports. The special technique he explained to us proved it's worth, and we went home with a couple of fish and several giant squid. We would recommend Captain Leo to any of our friends and if we ever come back to Sao Miguel, we'll make sure to be back on his boat.

4 Hour Trip – Costal Fishing (PM) on јул 13, 2025
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 – it was delicious. Huge thanks! Highly recommended!
