Fishing on the Cape Verde Islands
Captain Berno Niebuhr hopes to welcome you soon on the Cape Verde Islands.
Those who travel to Cabo Verde for fishing usually want to pursue marlin.
The “Atlantic Blue Marlin” is represented here around the Cape Verde Islands, located about 1800 km south of the Canary Islands and about 500 km west of Senegal, Dakar in a worldwide unique population.
Daily catches of over 10 marlins per boat are possible!
Guests of the Billfish Club Cabo Verde have been catching by far the largest marlins on Cabo Verde since 1998.
Have fun looking through our pages.
