Details

Situated along Portugal’s vibrant Lisboa coastline, the small fishing village of Neptuno offers a gateway to some of the region’s richest maritime waters. Salty Planet, a local charter operation, extends an immersive Private Fishing Day aboard their sailing yacht, blending a full day of hands-on angling with the raw charm of the Atlantic. As you glide across cool, clear waters for eight hours, the boat’s expert crew guides you to the best fishing grounds, drawing on intimate local knowledge to maximize your haul. This isn’t your run-of-the-mill trip—it is a finely tuned mixture of skill-building, patience, and anticipation beside the sea.

Neptuno’s coastline is marked by rugged cliffs and sun-bleached rock formations, where seabirds wheel above and waves pound below. This dynamic environment makes for more than just fishing; it’s a chance to understand a part of Portugal’s coastal heritage deeply tied to the sea and its bounty. Whether you're hooking common species like sea bass or feeling the tug of a mackerel, the scene is always alive with motion and sound. The day offers a welcome break from the city bustle, with fresh Atlantic breezes carrying the salt and stories of generations who’ve cast lines in these waters.

It’s an invitation to engage more fully with the rhythms of the ocean, the patience of fishing, and the thrill of the catch.
