Looking for a charter company that can take you out for a day of fun fishing on the waters of Madeira Archipelago? Sportfishing Exclusive is at your disposal with its excellent boat and passionate guide at the helm.

Not only you get a chance to explore the beautiful fishing spots of the area, but you will also have a chance to learn tips and tricks from the local captain as well. João, Kevin, and André, the company's founders, have plenty of interesting stories to share, and they love taking people out to cast their line.

The boat, a 53' Hatteras Convert. with twin 675 HP Detroit Diesel engines, is roomy and can take up to 18 people on board, though only 8 can fish at the same time. The boat has a flybridge to scout for the fish ahead and is decked out with the top-of-the-line fish finding electronics.

You will find all the necessary rods, reels, and tackle on board, as well as a fighting chair, live bait well, and outriggers. For your comfort, the vessel has an air-conditioned cabin, two toilets, and a multimedia system so that you can listen to your favorite music while reeling in your catch.

Speaking of your catch, you will get a chance to come face to gills with the well-known offshore favorites like Bluefin and Yellowfin Tuna, Dentex, Mahi Mahi, and Barracuda, just to name-drop a few. If you're on the lookout for some Billfish angling, then you can go after Blue and White Marlin, as well as Swordfish, all of which are a challenge to hook, but will be worth the battle.

You can come with a cohort of friends or your family and have plenty of time to enjoy fishing, soak in the view, and go home with an impressive catch. Food and drinks are provided, as well as all the fishing gear, all that's missing is you. Let Sportfishing Exclusive show you what Madeira fishing is all about!

Half day trip with Joan
Half Day Trip - Big Game Fishing on July 6, 20223 adults

Captain Joan worked hard to put us on fish. Going a deep bait ball and circled it until the big eye drove it to the surface. Another captain cut in front of us and drove the bait and tuna down. Tough break for us bad sport by a fellow captain. Great trip good equipment nice boat for party of four. Everything was as advertised.

Sportfishing Exclusive stemmed out of an idea of three friends to come together and show people just how amazing fishing can be in the archipelago of Madeira. André Roque, João Morna, and Kevin Schmidt will take you out and provide you with a premium charter service on their newly refurbished boat and show you a great time. The company also has a Maritimo Turistico (MT) license that confirms that they've been certified to run their trips, so all they need is you to come aboard.
