The waters around the Sagres/Cape St. Vincent peninsula, where the cold waters of the Atlantic meet the warmer Mediterranean currents, are among the best in Europe for big-game fishing. Magnificent marlin, swordfish, tuna and shark can all be found in these waters. Well-equipped boats, with fishing chair and harness, are available for a day’s fishing including lunch, or for a half-day.

There are several operators based in Lagos, including:

Mobile: 919 433 695

Boats can also be hired for a half-day's coastal bottom fishing.

Line fishing from the rocky outcrops and cliffs all around the peninsula is a popular pastime and often assures a delicious dinner.
