Traditional angling in Cape Verde

Traditional line fishing immerses you in an authentic maritime adventure, inherited from generations of Cape Verdean fishermen. As soon as you board, you'll be welcomed aboard a typical boat, where the local crew passionately share their fishing techniques, handed down from father to son. The activity begins with a presentation of the tools and traditional methods, which emphasise respect for the environment and an intimate knowledge of the ocean currents. Accompanied by an experienced guide, you will learn how to handle the fishing line and choose the best bait to attract the local marine fauna. The sea trip takes you far from the coast to areas rich in biodiversity, where you can observe marine life in its natural habitat. Along the way, there are convivial breaks to admire the seascape and listen to anecdotes about the region's fishing history. This unique experience isn't just about catching fish, it's a way of life and a precious skill, where patience, perseverance and passion come together. The activity is also an opportunity to talk to local fishermen, who will tell you the secrets of their trade and the importance of preserving marine resources. Whether you're a beginner or an experienced amateur, traditional angling invites you to rediscover the sea in a different way, in a warm and authentic setting. Come away with unforgettable memories and a better understanding of Cape Verde's maritime heritage, while enjoying a moment of relaxation in the heart of the ocean.
