Bolhas Tours are based out of the Sesimbra Marina, just 50 minutes drive south of Lisbon in what is known as one of the best beach towns in Portugal. They operate all year round and offer deep sea fishing and snorkeling tours in beautiful surroundings on the Atlantic Ocean.
Their 32' Teaser offshore sport fishing boat was specifically to tackle the area's waters. It is powered by twin 200 HP Volvo engines and is fitted with top of the range electronics by Simrad, including a GPS, fishfinder, radar, and sonar, as well as a Navicom DSC VHF radio. The boat has a covered area to protect you from the elements and it is fitted with an enclosed bathroom. There is a live bait tank on board, and downriggers are included for the best fishing experience.
Bolhas Tours use a variety of techniques on their fishing trips, including trolling, bottom fishing, jigging, and using handlines. They target a variety of species, including Red Sea Bream, Gilthead Bream, Sea Bream, Red Snapper, Croaker, Courbine (Meagre), and Swordfish.
Their all-inclusive trips don't only include the use of all the tackle and bait you'll need to target this diverse fishery, but also give you the chance to sample local cheese, wine, and other snacks. Please note there is a limit to the number of fish the clients can take home at the end of the day.
Whether you are a novice angler who wants a fun day out catching small fish with your family and friends or are a pro who is looking for a trophy fish, Bolhas Tours will make sure your trip is one to remember!

Pedro and Tiago took me and 2 friends out for the day off Sesimbra on June 20th, 2018 in search of as many species of fish as possible. They were knowledgeable, fun to be with (great sense of humor), and helped me catch 7 species of fish (Atlantic horse mackerel, cuckoo wrasse, comber, small red scorpionfish, conger eel, swallowtail seaperch, and pouting), 6 of which were new. As a result, my lifetime species list now stands at 230; a good day. They taught both of my friends, who were new to fishing, how to use the rod and reel and what to feel for, enabling them to catch a number of fish too. They also offer trips for bigger fish that may take more patience, but with my desire to catch numerous species and with my beginner friends, they tailored the trip to our needs. Whether you’re an experienced angler or a novice, I would highly recommend a trip with Pedro and Tiago (who also picked us up from our hotel in Lisbon for a reasonable fee). They also took us for a beer after the trip which was very much appreciated after a day on the water in the sun. Obrigado Pedro and Tiago
Great trip, awesome crew, put us on a lot of fish. Captain and crew were awesome with our kids and they all had a great time!! We would 100% use them again!!

Myself and 3 friends had a trip today with Bolhas whilst visiting Lisbon. I can honestly say it was such a brilliant experience. Sesimbra itself is really easily accessible from Lisbon, only around 30 euros in an Uber and a lovely picturesque town. Pedro is a great guide - he took us to a spot where we caught an abundance of different species and his passion and knowledge of the local area and it’s fish is unrivalled. On top of this, he’s a really friendly and all-round nice guy who you can have a laugh with whilst fishing! I’d say a trip with Bolhas is a must do for anybody visiting Lisbon. They will ensure you see a totally different but equally wonderful side of this beautiful part of the country. Couldn’t recommend it highly enough - we had a great time!

Took a trip with my son and I, had a great time. Fishing. Crew is very accommodating, educational and provided a great lunch

Fantastic experience with a friendly and helpful crew. We travelled with 2 young kids. It was our first time fishing. The crew was patient, engaging, helpful and family friendly. Fantastic experience and a definite redo.


There were simply too many dolphins around for the fishing to be decent but everyone enjoyed being out on the water anyway. We spent too long at the first drop before deciding to move due to lack of bites. Caught only small bottom fish the rest of the day. The highlight was definitely the dolphins around us.
