Fishing Holidays on Cape Verde

The fishing in Cape Verde is possible all year round. Although January and February normally are very windy, the rest of the year this archipelago offers excellent fishing conditions.

Cape Verde is known as the world’s best place for Atlantic Blue Marlin fishing. You can catch them all year round, but the best time is between mid March until the end of June. During September and October there are less blue marlin, but they are much bigger.

From September to December, Cape Verde is excellent for tuna fishing with lots of Yellowfin tuna from 100lbs up to 300lbs.

You may also catch Wahoo, Dorado, Barracuda, etc while light trolling, especially on the bank northeast of Santo Antao. This area shelters the biggest concentration of Wahoo of the Cape Verde Islands.

Jigging in Cape Verde is very popular because this technique produces great results. The volcanic rocky bottom around the islands Sao Nicolau, Razo and also Santo Antao is the home of impressive Amberjack. Jigging you may also catch Blackjack, Barracuda, Grouper and at night Oilfish.

The local fishermen use a handline for bottom fishing in Cape Verde and they don’t fish deeper than 100 meters. Beyond these depths, there still are lots of species to discover.

Cape Verde is also a great place for shark fishing (Tiger shark, Bull shark, Hammerhead etc) and also the very big Stingray up to more than 300kg.

Cape Verde has international Airports with scheduled flights from the U.S. and from Europe via TAP, Iberia, Lufthansa, British Airways, etc. The connections are made through Madrid, London, Düsseldorf or Lisbon.

Melia Tortuga Beach Resort & Spa: This luxury beach and spa resort is situated on Cape Verde. It offers fully equipped villas, which boast private swimming pools surrounded by palm trees. There is also a spa and fitness centre. A flat-screen TV and a furnished terrace feature in each air-conditioned apartment and villa. Each one is spacious, and has a contemporary décor with parquet flooring.

We think it's not necessary to rent a car because the distances are very small on these islands. You can take a taxi, which is much cheaper, if you want to more around a little.
