Our trip with Jorge and his companion was great. Even though the wind was too strong to fish at sea, Jorge put in the effort to fish a few hours with us at sea anyway. Good food, lovely beers and great fun!
Just amazing, way above of our expectations. Good sitting, nice food and drinks. Friendly service
It was perfect, thanks a lot Nuno, we will do it again
Amazing trip! First of all - thanks to Jorge, who advised to change date of trip because of wind and risky weather. Next day he picked us up at the hotel and we had an amazing fishing experience. He and his partner Pedro took care of everything - fishing licenses, equipment, food, beer and wine, explanation, nice talks and perfect music! We are looking forward to come back to Porto and have another one try with Jorge.
If You are looking for a nice boat trip, with great snacks like portuguese chees, ham and beer, than go with Jorge. He is really friendly and comunicative, his boat is classic and comfortable with a lot of space. You will catch mostly seabass by sailing along beautifull coast. Although if You want to catch something biger, thanYou propably need to go to south portugal for some deep ocean fishing. In general: 5/5 points:)
Jorge is great! He picked us up at the hotel, drove us to the marina pointing out restaurants and sites along the way. The fishing tour was great!! Comfortable boat, delicious food and drinks were served, and Jorge was super friendly and helpful. We had a great time!
