What to expect
Set sail around Sal Rei's bay and spend a morning or afternoon in search of a big catch. It doesn't matter if you're a first timer or a seasoned angler – you'll fall hook, line and sinker for this fishing experience in Boa Vista.
With transport from your hotel all sorted, all you'll need is some sunblock and a sun hat to set off on your ideal morning or afternoon of fishing. You'll cruise out into the bay of Sal Rei, not too far, but far enough to get a good catch, and then the on-board equipment is all yours to use.
Drop your line over the edge of the anchored boat, and wait for something to take the bait. It might be a grouper, parrotfish, sea bream, red mullet or even a moral eel. But fishing in the waters of Cape Verde will have you hooked, whether you're a beginner or pro.
