The Art of Traditional Fishing
Authentic Departure Point: Unlike most tours, you’ll set off from Rabo de Peixe — one of the most traditional and active fishing harbors in the Azores, rarely visited by tourists.
Local Fishing Boat & Captain: You'll be aboard a genuine working fishing boat, guided by an experienced local captain who knows these waters like the back of his hand.
Daily Custom Routes: No two trips are the same — the captain adjusts the route each day based on sea conditions and your interests, making every outing truly one of a kind.
Flexible & Beginner-Friendly: Whether you're an experienced angler or casting a line for the first time, this tour is designed to be relaxed, educational, and enjoyable for all.
Catch & Keep: The thrill of the catch is real — and you’re welcome to take your fish home (or to a local restaurant to be prepared).
Cultural Immersion: This isn’t just a fishing trip — it’s a deep dive into the traditions, lifestyle, and rhythm of Azorean coastal life.
