Half-Day Deep-Sea Fishing from Lisbon — 4-Hour Boat Rental
Spend four adrenaline-packed hours fishing off Lisbon with gear and bait provided. This accessible half-day trip takes you beyond the Tagus to productive deep-water pockets—ideal for groups and first-time anglers.
The Experience
Before You Go
Bring motion-sickness meds
Take preventative medication at least an hour before departure if you’re prone to seasickness—waves can pick up offshore.
Layer for wind and spray
A light waterproof windlayer and non-slip shoes keep you comfortable while moving on deck.
Protect from the sun
Even on overcast days, reflection off the sea increases UV exposure—sunscreen and a brimmed hat are important.
Follow crew instructions
Crew safety briefings and bait-handling guidance reduce risk of injury and improve your catch rate—listen closely.
