Looking for the best fishing experience ever? Go for the Cape Verde fishing experience with locals. You go spearfishing from the beach with a local fisherman. Of course, every fish you catch ends up at the grill during a beach barbecue Cabo Verde style.
Cape Verde fishing experience
The locals of Cape Verde often go fishing. For example, meet Jailson. Every day, you can find him in the waters around Sal to catch fish. Using the harpoon, he can perfectly select the fish he wants to catch. Some of the fish, he takes home to feed his family. The larger part he sells to restaurants.
You can join Jailson on his fishing trip. He provides you with a wetsuit, snorkeling gear, and a harpoon. Of course, he will teach you how to use it. Certainly, you will have a great time in the water. It’s a nice adventure, and really a challenge too. So, if you’re interested in fishing, grab your chance to do this Cape Verde style!
Also, Cape Verde style: grill the fish on a small beach barbecue. This is the second part of your Cape Verde fishing experience. No better taste then fresh caught fish! Especially since you caught it yourself. After the hard work of fishing, just sit back, and relax. Enjoy the company of Jailson and his family. They take care of the food and drinks.
Take plenty of time to chat, eat, and have fun living the beach life. The Cape Verdean people have their own stressless, open minded, hospitable and laid back way of life. This is known as ’Morabeza’. Let’s find out of Morabeza suits you too!

5-star review from Niels Kik
After putting on our wetsuit and snorkles we entered the sea from the beach. It was a great experience and we saw all kind of ocean life. We ended up with 12 good size fish. After cleaning the fish, we drove back to Santa Maria and had an awesome barbecue on the beach. I would recommend other people to try this amazing activity!
It sure has been a nice experience!
