        Great tour, highly recommend.
        Fishing was great we caught a half a bucket of fish in a matter of a couple hours. Snorkeling in a good location and finally bbg fish was really fresh and delicious.

        Brilliant day out
        This was our first time fishing and it was brilliant day out. We caught about 30 fish between us 4 and then they cooked it on beautiful beach n some beers and swim in the sea . Well worth a try for something different.

        Great first experience fishing in beautiful surroundings.
        Great fun. First time fishing and the two guys were really good teaching us what to do. Caught quite a few fish and finished off with a bbq on the beach. A great trip out.

        No refund despite Cancelling my trip within the timeframe to be eligible for a full refund
        We booked a Boat Trip to go snorkelling with a Barbecue, while on Holiday in Cape Verde over last Christmas and New Year. We got a call from the seller (who we booked the trip through), that they could not offer the bot trip on the date and time we had booked. They did offer us alternative time and dates, but as we were due to go home a few days later. we could not go on the alternative dates they had offered; Therefore we cancelled (in the allotted time and was eligible or a full refund). I got the following message saying that my money would be returned and full refund sent to my account (within 4!8 hours) and to check with my bank (if I have not received it. I checked with my Bank and I have yet to receive my full refund. I logged a support request over three weeks ago, under reference number of 16312323 (with Tripadvisor but have yet (to have a response. I will not be booking a trip through TripAdvisor again.

        10/10 customer service. Very friendly
        The experience wasn’t 5 star. As I got sea sick and also injured when snorkelling… however that was my fault. The service and opportunities by the two brothers on the boat was phenomenal!! They took extra care of me (I’m sorry) we caught some beautiful fish, they were cooked to a delight, the tour was gorgeous, welll worth the money and we left them both tips to thank them for a great day out! It can be a bit stressful booking privately and not through the hotel, but we wanted to give our money to local businesses and we were not dissatisfied. Thank you so much!!

        Brilliant fun in the sun!
        Fantastic days wild fishing with Frank who is the Captain of the Blue Fever fishing boat, and Tiger who organised the fishing lines (gillie) in Sal Rei, Boa Vista. Beautiful views of the island and beaches. Our biggest catch was 50kg smallest 12kg. A must for fishing enthusiasts. WE DEFINITELY WILL RETURN.

        Great day trip to do in Boa Vista
        Arranged this very last min and Arjen was v helpful in putting it all together (transfer, ATM stop etc) Enjoyable day out where we must have caught 20 fish in about 90 mins (once we got going) before bbq-ing them on the beach. Tasty! Also saw whales!

        Dangerous Avoid
        We visited Boa Vista in December 21 and wanted to book a fishing trip in Bellavista we have fished all over the world and I have never had such a dangerous frightening experience as we did on this trip. Our first trip was cancelled due to bad weather & was rebooked for the following day. when we got up we felt that the weather was the same conditions as the day before but trusted the organiser/ captain knew the conditions & would not put us at risk. We were told on arrival that the previous days trip had been cancelled as the weather conditions were really bad and that it would’ve taken us two hours to return from the fishing grounds in dangerous conditions. We boarded the boat with two crew members after paying the owner at the shore and we left to go fishing on the way out to the fishing grounds the captain was obviously not paying attention as he nearly hit a boat and the other crew member had to grab the wheel to avoid a collision this was the start of our trip. We were taken to the fishing grounds by the crew and circled around locals who were hand line fishing for tuna, we moved on when the locals started shouting at our captain in anger. The crew then decided they were going to take us to Jig the conditions were un-fishable as you couldn’t even stand. The crew had hardly any interaction with us throughout the trip but the worst was yet to come. One of the crew handed my husband a rod to jig with but he could hardly stand up due to the worsening conditions of the sea. I was never offered a rod even if I had been I would not have been able to fish as I couldn’t even stand as it was so rough. The other jigging rod was used by the crew and after about 30 minutes the lure got snagged, the crew then spent about 30 minutes trying to release the snag. We started our horrendous journey back and I & my husband have never feared for our lives before until this trip, the sea conditions were the worst I have ever seen and we took over 2.30 hours to get back to shore. We were travelling along the shoreline from our left side hitting the boat was between 20 and 30 foot swells of sea the crew never once asked us if we were okay they didn’t even turn around as we were sitting behind them we have never been so frightened and taken on such a dangerous trip in these conditions the trip never should’ve gone ahead. We were sat at the back of the boat on a wooden bench with no cushions fearing for our lives. This boat is not suitable for any type of deep sea fishing it has no chair to play the fish it has no toilets and it wasn’t until we returned to our hotel we realised we had no lifejackets either. When we return to our hotel we were in shock as there was a real possibility we could have been injured or worse on this trip due to the captain and the owner making the decision to take us out in treacherous conditions. The owner had previously stated he’d cancelled the previous day as it would’ve taken two hours to return but he then took us out the following day and it took over 2 1/2 hours to return. The following day our rep contacted the owner and requested a refund of half the cost as we are not I’m unreasonable and understand that the boat has been used the crew have been supplied and fuel has been used he agreed to the refund. My reason for leaving this review is that If the owner/captain continues to take people out in such terrible conditions there is going to be an accident and so my conscience is clear I would not recommend this trip to anybody

        Worth every penny.
        Had a great fishing trip catching more than 20 fish then snorkel at Sal Rei reef, then finished off with a beach barbecue on the beach on Sal Rei island. The fish we caught tasted great. I highly recommend this day out.

        Amazing day out
        We had a fantastic day out with Elton our captain Boat could use a little TLC but hey I have to criticise something!! But Totally seaworthy and safety conscious Truly a must for those who like a 1on 1 excursion The cost of the booking is I think for up to max 4 but just for your party. Nobody else. Bliss We fished and caught loadsa fish We went back to a uninhabited island and while Elton set out to bbq our fish while we snorkelled and enjoyed beach combing The fish was delicious and perfectly cooked This trip had to be the highlight of our holiday. Thank you for a perfect and memorable day in paradise I 100% recommend this value for money day out .

        Fish and BBQ trip
        We had an fantastic trip with Captain Adilton on his beautiful boat the Feniks. We started of on the pier of Sal Rei with my brother in law, his wife and their 8 year old twins. First we went to what is called the English reef on a calm see enjoying the sun and fantastic weather. How relaxing it is to be on a boat. The captain anchored the boat and prepared our fishing gear. He attached the bait and then it was up to us to go fishing. Within half an hour we had a kilo of beautiful fish including some red snappers. The kids loved it. After that, we went snorkling while Adilton prepared our fresh fish lunch. I have never tasted anything as good as freshly caught fish from the BBQ. I can highly recommend this experience to anyone that visits Boa Vista

      We didn’t actually get to go as we were unfortunate with the weather and this company wanted us to be safe. However, they kept in touch the whole week, were friendly and efficient and issued a refund without delay - would highly recommend!

      For a great fishing trip from the port of SAL REI (TE MANCHE)
      some details: end of March 2024
      about 1/2 hour by boat before arriving in the area, fishing in 50/60 m jigging, it's quite simple but very physical.
      we caught several medium-sized amberjack and a nice striped bonito, no fish on the surface that day.
      ADILTON knows its stuff well, the equipment is suitable
