Aquasares Offshore Fishing Charters offers access to one of Europe’s finest big game sportfishing grounds. Known for fantastic Blue Marlin fishing and a network of artificial reefs, this varied fishery is a joy for serious sports fishermen and young families alike.
Capt. Bruno Sares will help you have the time of your life aboard a fully restored 26’ Starfisher offshore sportfishing boat, capable of cruising at around 26 knots and reaching places less powerful boats can’t reach on a day trip. The boat is fully equipped with safety gear and modern marine electronics, so you can be sure you’ll be taken exactly where the fish are biting.
Fully rigged for sportfishing with outriggers, downriggers, and a center rigger, the boat is also equipped with a toilet and shower for your comfort.
Capt. Bruno offers a variety of trips suitable for every taste. Whether you want to catch a trophy Blue Marlin, chase White Marlin on light tackle, or go reef fishing with your family, there is something for anglers of all ages, from 8 to 80 years old.
No matter your preferred style—light or heavy tackle, fighting chair or stand harness, trolling, bait and switch, or fly fishing—Capt. Bruno and his crew will cater to your needs to help you land the catch of a lifetime.

Full Day Trip – White Marlin
What a fantastic experience. Went out for White marlin and my son was onto a 40kg one in no time. The captain and crew were fantastic and guided him through the process and landed it without a hitch. Then it was my turn. Big Blue marlin decided it liked my bate. Again, the experience of the captain and crew got me through it and we managed to get the leader to the rod. The conditions were perfect and the boat is awesome. I can not recommend Mandrake Fishing highly enough.

Half Day Trip – Reef Fishing
I would 100% recommend this fishing trip. I'm an avid fisherman and my son (6) really wanted to go fishing. I booked a trip and what a fantastic day we had. The crew were so kind and helpful. The skipper is clearly very experienced in all aspects of fishing and also techniques. Knowing fishing is never a guarantee but we just couldn't stop catching fish. My son was constantly bringing up fish and an array of reef species. Very clean and purpose built boat. I will be returning to target big species in the future. If you're new to fishing or experienced it is a great trip out. Perfect with 4 persons. I have been out on reef fishing with several charters this was the most comfortable and rewarding out of them all. Thanks guys for making my day memorable not only for me but for my 2 sons and his friend. Tight lines and see you in the near future for huge tuna and maybe again for the marlin.

Half Day Trip – Reef Fishing
Went with a mate and our lads, aged 16 and 9. Didn't get many bites in the first hour but the guys moved the boat twice until they found us a good spot and we then caught about 20 each. Had an amazing day and worth every penny. Will defo be doing it again and might even go for the full day trip to catch some big ones next time. Would recommend to anyone with kids who want to experience fishing as the guys were so helpful baiting the hooks non-stop all day and jumping in to help the lads when they struggled with a big fish. A brilliant day!!!

Full Day Trip - Gamefishing
I took my three kids (6, 11, 13), wife and brother to this trip - it was an awesome day. The crew all helped us with our first fishing trip ever. Daniel taught the little ones thoroughly how to prepare the bait with great patience and the kids loved it. We made pretty good catch and Guillermo taught me how to clean and filet big and small fish. The crew were very professional in everything and I strongly recommend this trip. Thank you again - see you next time!
