In 2014 TOP FISHING was established in Brazil with an unique mission to promoting and creating opportunities to Brazilian fishermen who want to experience Canada’s best outdoor adventures. Brazil is the world’s fifth largest country and its population is over 200 million, and millions of them are fishermen. They are always looking for new fishing opportunities. TOP FISHING knows the business potential that Brazilian fishermen have to offer and that’s why it has been casting the line in the Canadian waters. TOP FISHING BRAZIL is already an exclusive representative of Brazilian fishermen to Canada; and British Columbia and Saskatchewan are territories which this company is currently operating.
In order to attend the demand of Canadian fishermen eager to fish in Brazilian waters, TOP FISHING has expanded its operations in 2017 and established TOP FISHING CANADA, a sister company, with its own office offering and providing opportunities to Canadian fishermen who want to have a life time fishing experience in Brazil.
Although TOP FISHING BRAZIL and TOP FISHING CANADA are sisters companies, they work independently to provide you with a better and faster service; but they both have the same mission and mostly operate with the same partners. TOP FISHING companies (Brazil & Canada) have exclusive contracts within Brazil’s and Canada’s best lodges, outfitters and tour agencies, so TOP FISHING can always offer you the best guarantees, prices and fishing experience.
Another thing to keep in mind and make you more comfortable in doing business with us is the fact that we always really care about our image and the trust our customers have on us. That’s why we are very selective when choosing our partners and suppliers to provide you with the best services, no matter if you are fishing in Brazil or Canada. One of our partners and suppliers in Brazil is the official representative for the IGFA – International Game Fish Association in Brazil for over 14 years (the most recognized and respected fishing organization in the world) and also the official Shimano Consultant for Brazil.
You can rest assured that no matter if you are fishing in Brazil or in Canada, with Top Fishing you will always be in good hands.
2019 UPDATE
TOP FISHING is headquartered in Brazil and started its operations in 2014 bringing Brazilian fishermen to Canada, and until today this is an ongoing successful operation.
In the end of 2017, TOP FISHING CANADA was established with the mission to take Canadian fishermen to Brazil and have their lifetime fishing experience in the Amazon Rain Forest (the world’s largest tropical forest) and Pantanal (the world’s largest tropical wetland area, and the world’s densest concentration of animal life).
In 2019, TOP FISHING Canada added to its portfolio a lot of more options for the Canadian fishermen. Now we not only offer accommodations at premier hotel boats, but also the options for lodges and camping (in both Amazon & Pantanal). We have considerably increased the number of packages/destinations and options for the Amazon and Pantanal as well.
Furthermore, TOP FISHING’s new packages for “Deep Sea Fishing” in Thailand and Cuba are about to be announced and added to our 2019 portfolio!
Stay tune, big news are coming soon!
