Eat, sleep, and breathe fishing? So does Katjoa Extreme Fishing! Only in it for the ocean view, tan lines, and sweet pics? That's cool too. Whatever your reason, this crew will make your fish wishes come true.

Captain Pedro Casanova knows absolutely all the fishing spots in Algarve. He has won many accolades during his long career and is one of the initial founders of the Big game club of Portugal. He was selected as an International Representative for Bisbee's Fishing Tournaments. EFSA ex colaborator, and competed by FIPS.

Choose a half or full day of fishing fun aboard Capt. Pedro's 35' Luhrs boat, capable of accommodating up to 5 guests. She's fast, stable and solid, built for serious anglers. She's comfortable for long, offshore trips and as she features a private toilet, air-conditioned cabin, a flybridge, and a fighting chair. Combine this amazing tournament sportfisher with your fishing ambition and see what can happen!

Katjoa Extreme Fishing is all about catching the fastest species out there. Whether you want to target different types of Tuna, Marlin, Mahi Mahi, Capt. Pedro has all the tackle you need to reel them in. Just choose what you want to catch and Capt. Pedro will do his best to make it happen.

All trips are private, meaning your group will have the boat to yourselves. The fishing equipment, fishing licenses, drinks and snack is provided and included in the price.

This winter 2026, we made 2 major upgrades, in our boat; now we have a new omni sonar, and a new electric iron Min Kota; both to help us to improve fishing.
Numbers from the Big Rock Blue Marlin Tournament indicate that boats using omni sonar can experience catch rates 60% to 84% higher than those without this powerful technology.
No one would argue with the premise that omnidirectional sonar is a great fish-catching tool.

    Fishing for the Giants

    Fishing Trip – Marlin/Tuna on July 8, 2024 • 4 adults

    My experience with Captain Pedro and Carlos on our fishing charter was fantastic from start to finish. The communication leading up to the trip was clear and easy to follow, ensuring we were well-prepared for our day on the water. On the day of the excursion, Pedro and Carlos displayed a high level of professionalism and expertise. They were knowledgeable about the area's ocean, fish, and wildlife, adding an educational element to our fishing adventure. Although we didn't catch a bluefin tuna, we were thrilled to see many of them while at sea. Captain Pedro went above and beyond to give us every opportunity to reel in a big one, showcasing his dedication to ensuring a memorable experience for his guests. It's evident that Captain Pedro is incredibly passionate about what he does, and his enthusiasm shines through in every aspect of the trip. We were so impressed with our experience that we've already decided to book a second trip for next summer in hopes of landing one of those giant tuna! I highly recommend this fishing charter to anyone looking for a top-notch experience filled with unforgettable memories. Thank you, Captain Pedro and Carlos, for an incredible day on the water!

    Great experience

    Fishing Trip – Marlin/Tuna on June 18, 2025 • 2 adults • 1 child

    Every part of this trip was a fantastic experience facilitated by Pedro and his mate Carlos; on my first time fishing for giant blue fin. They were both great hosts, sharing knowledge and stories and making extra effort to ensure my 7yr old son enjoyed the day, was kept safe and learnt the ways. We can’t wait to go again. Think we’ll try for the marlin and mahi mahi next time!

    I would fish with them again

    Full Day Trip–Marlin, Bonito, Mahi on September 23, 2024 • 1 adult

    Captain Pedro tried his best to put me on marlin but the fish were not eating that day. I did catch some mahi and Skip jacks but even that action was slow. The water temperature wasn't ideal and the solunar table was not good so it was just one of those days when the fish were not active. I'm confident that if they were eating we would have put them in the boat. This man knows his stuff and if I ever came back to Portugal I would definitely go out with him again. Top notch boat and top notch equipment too.

    Half day trip with Captain Pedro

    Half Day Trip (AM) on October 10, 2020 • 2 adults

    My husband and I had the most fantastic time on our fishing trip with Captain Pedro and his colleague! Pedro’s knowledge and experience are second to none and we truly enjoyed learning from his experience. He is really kind and helpful and great fun too! Nothing was too much of a trouble for him! We caught a fair amount of fish and had the best time! I honestly cannot recommend this experience highly enough, it made our holiday extra special!

The best!!!
Reef Fishing on July 9, 2026 • 2 adults

What an absolutely incredible experience! We had a perfect sunny day, and the fishing was simply unbelievable we were catching fish almost every minute! Our captain was outstanding, making sure everyone had an amazing time while sharing his knowledge and enthusiasm. Everything exceeded our expectations, and we couldn’t have asked for a better day on the water. Highly recommended, we’ll definitely be back!

Pedro is a real Fisherman's Fisherman.
Full Day Trip–Marlin, Bonito, Mahi on September 24, 2026 • 2 adults

The expertise and hospitality were world class. Pedro has fished around the world and is an experienced billfish tournament pro. But he has none of the arrogance you often find among U.S. charter boat captains - he's a total gentleman who fishes for the love of it. Would absolutely book with him over and over again.
