www.caboverdefishingcenter.com - Welcome to Cabo verde Hot Spot Fishing Center

To book your fishing week we have prepared an ONLINE RESERVATION FORM (you'll find it on the upper right corner of every page) where you’ll be able to decide yourselves whether to stick to our offers or to compose alone your ideal packet. We’ll gladly answer you in the shortest possible time, but to the best applying of your applications in first place you have to decide:

• What boat you choose, depending from the number of passengers in the same boat, fishermen or not
• What kind of fishing technique you want to use (Big Game - trawling - deep fishing – vertical jigging)

Take notice:

• the excursions for trawling, vertical jigging and deep fishing are half day
• full day for Big Game at Blue Marlin

We always recommend not to go out immediately the first day of your arrival, especially for someone with a night flight. Do not worry about the “lost” day, you’ll receive it back in health the following days.

The fishing programme decided before your leaving could, if possible, be changed depending on weather conditions. It’ll be our care to inform you, depending on Ocean conditions, what days will be best for the technique you choose.

Our expert skippers, years they fish in these waters, will bring you in the best hot spots to spend unforgettable fishing days. The “Fishing Center” is provided with 4 boats well equipped for all kind of fishing.

The particular conformation of the Sal island allows to be in fishing grounds only after 15/20 minutes from the departure. The fishing trips for trolling, vertical jigging and deep fishing will last 4 hours. The fishing trip for "Big Game - Blue Marlin " is a full day. The departure is at the wood pier, at an easy walking distance from the structures we propose. Depending on periods and availability, the fishing trips for half day are in the morning from 8 am to 12 am or in the afternoon from 13,30 to 17,30. For the Full Day the departure is from 8,30 am to16, the lunch is inclusive on board with sandwich and non-alcoholic drinks.

Only for July and August the Drifting trips will be from 6,00 am to 12.00.

For those booking in advance, the day after your arrival there will be a briefing at our Fishing Center for the best planning of your the fishing trip, depending of meteo conditions.

If the weather is bad, of commune accord the date of the exits can vary, and the exit itself is refunded.

Exits not made for others motivations, not dependent from our center, are not refunded.

Cabo Verde is a little paradise, where for several years still industrial fishing exploiting fish resources will not exist. For this reason it’s up to us, game fish operators, to protect and enforce the respect of some simple rules.

A fishing holiday in the tropics does not means a devastation of them and a catching of tons of fish for the only purpose of few trophy pictures.

We all are fishermen, and for this our commitment, in this splendid reservoir of infinite emotions and adventure, it is to safeguard this wonderful hot spot:

• respecting local regulations
• fishing in the respect of sport ethics using techniques offering loyal confrontation with the fish
• releasing the fish, in particular the small ones, offering them the opportunity of reproduction and so surely ensuring for us more passionate future games

These simple behaviour rules show love and respect for the Ocean and they are an investment for the maintaining of our wealth of today in the future.

We of the “Fishing Center” believe in the conservation of billfish and, in collaboration with “The Billfish Foundation”, we’ll ask you to release your billfish,

Those fishermen releasing their billfish will be awarded with a “tagging report”, a release certificate attesting  the catch of your fish. This certificate will be your real trophy.

Only if the fish would be damaged during the fight, of it’s a “Grander”, the billfish will be brought to the island.

Thank you in advance. Giorgio Assolari
