Wish and Fish is a family owned business, run by Captain Saúl Cruz, a 3rd-generation fisherman. He started fishing with his father and grandfather when he was 4 and he never stopped. He loves meeting new people, helping them to catch fish, and giving his best for them to have an amazing day on the water.

On this adventure, you'll board a 45' custom built boat that's licensed for 12 guests. It's a state-of-the-art vessel, which has every conceivable sport and gamefishing option fitted. The boat is spacious and comfortable, offering a lot of shade, seating, bathroom facilities, and at the back it also has a ramp and access for a wheelchair.

Reef fishing trips are the best option for a family trip, especially if you have little kids. You'll target a variety of local fish, such as Dentex, Grouper, Seabream, Gilt-head (Seabream), Common Pandora, and many more. Shark Fishing can be outstanding off the Algarve coast. Blue Sharks are by far the most targeted but you can also catch Mako Sharks. Big game fishing promises a full day of action. You'll have an opportunity to catch Blue Marlin, Tuna, Mahi Mahi, and more.

Note that some fish have to be released, such as Sharks and most of the offshore species. You can keep the rest of your catch or let the captain donate it to charity.

The captain will provide your rods, reels, lures, and live bait. Fishing licenses are not included and they cost €5 per person. You can purchase them at the marina, right before the trip, so bring your ID as well. Feel free to bring any food and drinks you like and you can also purchase drinks at the bar on board.

Let Wish and Fish show you the beauties of the Algarve coast and let them create an astonishing day for you!

Captain Saúl comes from a family of fishermen. He has been fishing on the water all his life. Saúl had a different company before, but he decided to pursue this dream instead, and devote his time and energy into fishing. He enjoys teaching customers all about the sport, so families and kids are more than welcome. The best part of the job would be meeting new people and helping them make amazing memories. Wish and Fish is a family run business, and they deeply care for their customers and safety.
