Fishing in the Ría de Arousa: Boat trips for beginners

Fishing in the Ría de Arousa is one of those experiences that blend tradition, nature, and adventure. And the best part? You don’t need to be an expert. If you’ve always wanted to try fishing but never took the plunge, Amare Turismo Náutico gives you the perfect opportunity to get started, guided by authentic Galician seafarers, with safe, fun, and educational trips 🐠.

Fishing is not just about casting a rod. It’s about learning to observe the sea, feel its rhythms, and understand its biodiversity. Our activity is designed for all ages and for anyone looking for an alternative plan in Galicia that combines learning, relaxation, and connection with nature.

🌊 An experience for everyone

These trips are designed for beginners: no prior knowledge or equipment is needed. We provide everything: rods, bait, raincoats, and most importantly, the passion of our guides. We depart from the O Cabodeiro port in Illa de Arousa, exploring nearby areas where fishing conditions are most favorable depending on the season and tides.

What can you expect?

  • Learn how to set up your fishing gear
  • Basic casting and retrieval techniques
  • Catch local species like mackerel, cuttlefish, and pouting
  • Sail with a local and licensed skipper
  • Enjoy a 100% sustainable and responsible experience
