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 has a unique population around Cape Verde. Guests of the Billfish Club Cabo Verde have been catching by far the largest marlins on Cabo Verde since 1998.

The average size of the blue marlin we catch ranges from 90 kg up to 150 kg. But fish weighing 200 to 300 kilograms and more are also regularly caught. With the exception of record catches, all billfish are released. Besides blue marlin, we also catch white marlin, spearfish, sailfish and swordfish.
