In the heart of these sons of Maia, a parish known for its strong character and big heart, was born a dream of blue, the color of the sea. And despite all the winds and tides, we can now say with an Azorean accent: welcome to the north shore of São Miguel island!
Together we believe in a different kind of company, one founded on family values. Here you can experience stories of pride and nostalgia from those who lived them first-hand.
We are seeking people with a fisherman’s vein and a willingness to explore new fishing spots from Nordeste to Ribeirinha, and where patience is stretched out at sea by snacks of salema seaweed, as once taught by our ancestors.
What do we mean?
Be brave and come to the Azores, to this place of little land and abundance of sea. Poet’s word!

oved our 1/2 day of fishing. Pedro was wonderful. my husband and I caught so many fish and then had a delicious lunch of the freshest fish ever! (note, my husband is a fly fisherman, neither of us had done deep sea fishing before--Pedro made it so easy)
TIP: 1) make sure you are checking email, or calling to confirm your booking as weather (and seas) can change in the azores, and they may need to reschedule. 2) we chose to take 2 fish to a restaurant in furnas (Banhos Ferreos). It would have been better to take to a local, Maia place, as most Furnas restaurants were a bit too toursity for such a request. 3) if you know you get "sea sick" like I do, there is a pharmacy in town. picked up some dramamine to pre-medicate. 4) enjoy a walk along the ocean to the old "laundry washing" spot before or after your fishing to get even more of a taste of Maia.
