Details

Located on Portugal's southern coast, Trigana in the Algarve region offers a rugged and rewarding coastline where the Atlantic Ocean shapes unforgettable outdoor experiences. Welcome Boat Trips invites anglers and ocean seekers to a focused 3-hour bottom fishing and jigging excursion that highlights the Algarve’s abundant marine life and striking seascapes. Starting from Trigana’s accessible harbor, participants board a modern boat equipped with expert gear and knowledgeable guides who steer the adventure toward promising fishing grounds just off the coast.

This tour is designed for anyone looking to engage hands-on with the sea’s bounty—whether a seasoned angler or a curious beginner. Bottom fishing here targets species common to these nutrient-rich waters, such as sea bream and bass, while jigging brings an exciting challenge of lure work and quick reflexes. Throughout the trip, the chance to spot dolphins riding the bow waves adds a vivid wildlife encounter that punctuates the deep-sea setting.

The Algarve’s coastline is marked by rugged cliffs of limestone and hidden coves, offering dynamic scenery from the boat. Fishing beneath these cliffs brings a unique perspective, blending sporting pursuit with natural spectacle. Trigana itself is a quiet coastal village, a gateway to the Atlantic’s clear waters and a less trafficked spot than some of Algarve’s more popular resorts.

What makes Welcome Boat Trips particularly special is their commitment to an authentic local experience—providing all the fishing licenses and equipment, coaching on technique, and ensuring you keep what you catch. The company’s emphasis on responsible fishing and respect for marine environments connects visitors with the heritage and sustainability efforts around Algarve’s fisheries.

For those wanting a focused, action-packed time on the water away from crowded tourist hubs, this targeted fishing trip delivers a memorable slice of Portugal’s oceanic outdoors.
