Big Game Fishing - Adrenaline on the Atlantic
Price for the boat 650 € · maximum 2 people · RIU Touareg +30 €
Cape Verde is one of the top fishing destinations in the Atlantic – and Boa Vista is right in the middle of it. The crystal-clear waters around the island are rich in marine life and offer ideal conditions for various fishing techniques. Whether it’s grouper, moray eel, triggerfish, yellowfin tuna, wahoo, amberjack, mahi mahi or the majestic blue marlin – every angler’s heart beats faster here.
Trolling & Vertical Jigging – targeting specific catches
When trolling, the classic big game method, we target tuna, mahi mahi, serra and blue marlin. Using high-quality artificial lures (Rapalla & Squid), we fish at depths between 40 and 70 metres – excitement guaranteed.
For the feisty amberjack, we rely on vertical jigging – an exciting technique that can also be ideally combined with the big game tour.
The main season for blue marlin is between April and July, but big game fishing is possible all year round with us.
Weather conditions & safety
From December to May, strong waves can occur more frequently due to the trade winds – in these cases, it may be necessary to postpone or cancel tours. The best weather conditions for big game fishing are from June to November.
Safety and your well-being are our top priority. We always check tours booked in advance with you shortly before the date based on the current weather conditions.
Catch & Release – fair and sustainable
When catching a blue marlin, we apply the catch & release principle – this fascinating fish is released again after being caught. Other catches are divided among the crew; in the case of large fish, a portion is also given to those in need on Boa Vista. The catch is not sold.
Feel the adrenaline – experience the moment
The moment the fish bites, the adrenaline rushes. You feel the power of the fish without knowing what to expect. Every catch is an experience – and the moment you bring the fish on board is unforgettable.

You should be seaworthy for the tour. If you are unsure about your seaworthiness, we recommend taking a travel tablet in advance.
Please check before the tour starts whether you have received a message from us (by email or WhatsApp). There are days when we have to cancel boat tours due to strong winds and/or high waves. This can also happen at very short notice, as the weather forecasts are not very reliable here and a decision can sometimes only be made on the day of the tour.
Please note that there is no guarantee of a catch.
Pay attention to your own safety on the boat! Always hold on tight! Make sure you are standing or sitting securely! Instructions from the crew regarding your safety and the balance of the boat must be followed! We accept no liability for accidents/injuries resulting from carelessness!
