Pick a calm day and treat the family to a half or full day cruise along
the Algarve's spectacular coast. Cruise boats operate out of Portimão
and the marinas at Vilamoura and Lagos.
You can also go river cruising - an all day trip on the Guadiana from
Vila Real de Stº Antonio, or a shorter trip up to Silves and back from
Portimao.
For a less expensive day out, close to the coasts, join a boatload of hopefuls bottom
fishing with light tackle for Bass and Sea Bass and other inshore species.
Local fisherman bring along their own tackle on these outings but all the essentials are laid on for visitors.
Freshwater fishing is not a big sport in the Algarve and licenses are
required. Tackle can be hired at the Arade Reservoir where there are
Black Bass, Carp, Perch and Eels. In the rivers, notably the Guadiana,
you can catch Mullet and Lampreys.
