Reef fishing trip from Marina de Faro with Captain Pedro Casanova aboard the Katjoa, a perfect experience for families and groups of friends who want a genuinely rewarding day on the water without needing any prior fishing experience. Fishing three to five nautical miles from the coast over a reef with the boat anchored, using very light tackle and live bait, this is the kind of trip where normally everyone gets fish. Main targets include seabream, snapper, dentex, grouper, mackerel, conger eel, rockfish and scorpionfish among others. Priced per experience for up to five people. You keep the catch.<\/p>\n
Captain Pedro brings a level of expertise and passion to every trip that is genuinely rare. His tournament career spans the All Millionaire Pacific Circuit, the Los Cabos Billfish Tournament and the South Africa World Championship, and his boat the Katjoa has been upgraded this winter 2026 with a new omni sonar and a new electric Minn Kota, technology that data from major tournaments suggests can increase catch rates by 60 to 84 percent compared to boats without omnidirectional sonar. When booking please keep in mind that Captain Pedro typically needs a maximum of two days to order live bait.<\/p>\n

I am Captain Pedro Casanova, based in Faro, Portugal. Fishing is not just my job, it is everything. It is the small details of each day that remind me how lucky I am, whether it is the most action-filled day of billfish or the longest crossing I have ever made. I hold numerous tournament awards and this winter upgraded the Katjoa with new omni sonar and electric Minn Kota to keep improving what we can offer every person who steps on board. Whatever your reason for being out there, we will make your fish wishes come true.<\/p>\n
