The Azorean sea is one of the favorite destinations of the fans of big game fishing. If you are looking for adventure and activities on the sea Big Game fishing is an excellent opportunity during your holidays in the Azores. Join us for an unforgettable tour at the sea with a lot of fun and all the professionalism as usual. This fishing trip in São Miguel provides you a unique and unforgettable experience capturing different species of fish.
About the Tour:
The Azores Sea is a favorite spot for sport fishing lovers and we will show you why. As our sea is influenced by the Gulf Stream, sport fishing is a great success. Several species, during their migratory route, pass through our waters, large pelagics such as blue marlin, white marlin, dorado, Indian mackerel, and other tuna species: Bluefin tuna, bigeye tuna, yellowfin, and bonito.
In big game fishing, we practice trolling, in this technique the boat navigates the fishing spots we choose at speeds between 7 and 10 knots, we use five rods with artificial samples chosen according to the target species and the fishing season, if there is a shot, the fisherman sits in the combat chair and this is his moment, enjoy with the support of our crew.
For this activity we have at your disposal the Boat “SCORPION” equipped with 6 PENN 130 lbs, two PENN 80 lbs, 2 PENN 50 lbs, and with SUFIX lines made by IGFA.
Vessel “RABÃO” equipped with 4 SHIMANO 130 lbs, 2 SHIMANO 80 lbs, and with SUFIX lines dented by IGFA.
These boats are equipped with the latest navigation and safety technology. For a more sustainable practice, we are apologists for the “catch and release” concept. We caught the fish to watch it and take pictures and then released it again into the sea alive.
Join OCEANTUR for a fantastic and relaxing day with friends, fishing on the island of São Miguel. The Azores archipelago is considered one of the best places for fishing in the world, where a wide variety of marine species pass.

We have had the pleasure of being Carlos’ guest several times. From the first time, he made us feel like friends in stead of clients. He makes sure everybody on board is at ease, gives help when you need it or lets you do your own thing if you want to. We visit the Azores at least once a year and try to have a Carlos-day every time!

Thank you Steven, for your words.
Count on you for another day Steven and Leentje Hilven with Carlos for some beers, and some fishing.
