Description
Begin your adventure at Areal Central da Praia de São Pedro, where you'll meet experienced local fishermen and receive a briefing on safety procedures and the fishing heritage of the village.
Board a traditional wooden fishing boat and set sail towards Ponta do Machado and the scenic waters surrounding the Dona Maria Pia Lighthouse (Farol de São Pedro). Spend around three hours fully immersed in the art of artisanal line fishing, guided step-by-step by local experts.
This hands-on immersion is focused purely on the fishing experience (lunch is not included). Best of all, any fish you catch during the trip is yours to keep—feel free to take your fresh catch back to your accommodation or hotel to prepare later!
