If you're in the Algarve and want some proper reef fishing, you've got to book with Áqua. I've done a few charters before, but this was easily the highlight of my trip. The energy was great from the start and, more importantly, we actually caught fish! Captain Josué really knows his stuff. He took us straight to the best spots and we were getting bites all day. I managed to land a massive 4kg pargo which was the highlight, but we had plenty of other quality catches too. Josué keeps it fun, relaxed, and knows exactly how to find the fish. Already looking forward to the next one aboard Áqua. Cheers guys!
Thanks! That 4kg pargo was a beast and you handled it like a pro. Looking forward to the next one. Cheers!
We had a great experience with Josue since I contacted him, and even before the reservation. I reached out asking about certain big-game-fish and expressing my interest, Josue was very especific since the beginning about what fish was possible to find and which we would not find (what I was looking for was out of reach). The fact that he said he could not take me to fish what I wanted because it was not the season for it, to me was a sign of both trust and knowledge. This made me ask about what type of fish was available in the season I would be in town for, and since it was our first time, we booked a three-person fishing trip for a Sunday morning. He was incredibly responsive by the app, then, in-person him and his son were kind, fun, knowledgeable, patient, and we had a great time. We will be coming back in July to catch the type of fish I was originally looking for. The trip was personal, private, genuine, easy, and fun. I highly recommend them!
Thank you so much for your kind words, it was a real pleasure having you on board with us. We're looking forward to seeing you again in July for that next adventure!
If you are looking for the best fishing experience in the Algarve, look no further than this. My son and I just spent five hours out on the water with the captain and his son William, and it was hands down one of the best days of our entire holiday. From the moment we stepped on board, the atmosphere was warm, relaxed, and completely professional. Both English was outstanding - clear, friendly, and genuinely engaging throughout the whole trip. We never felt lost or left out for a single moment. Now for the numbers: 81 fish in five hours. Yes, really. I would not have believed it myself if I had not been there pulling them in alongside my son. But what truly set this experience apart was the passion these guys bring to what they do. For every single species we caught, he gave us recipes - actual, practical cooking tips on how to prepare each fish properly. That kind of knowledge and enthusiasm is rare and made the whole trip feel like so much more than just fishing. Highest possible recommendation.
Thank you so much for your words, it truly means a lot to us. It was a real pleasure having you and your son on board. Days like that don't happen by chance, they're the result of good conditions, teamwork, and clients who are fully engaged in the experience, just like you both were. We always aim to go beyond 'just fishing'. Sharing knowledge, whether it's techniques, species, or how to properly prepare what you catch, is part of what we believe makes a trip truly memorable. That day will stay with us as well: great company, great energy, and yes… some very serious fishing. You're both welcome back anytime, next time, we'll see if we can beat those 81 😉
wir waren insgesamt zu 4 und würden es aufjedenfall weiter empfehlen. Es gab ausreichend gratis Getränge (Wasser, Cola & Bier). Die 2 wahren auch richtig freundlich und als wir zu kleine Fische gefangen haben, sind sie direkt an einen anderen spot gefahren damit wir größere Fangen konnten. Wir können es garantiert weiter empfehlen.
Thank you very much for your fantastic review and kind words! We are delighted to hear that you enjoyed your fishing trip with us and that you were happy with both the service and the experience on board. Our goal is always to provide the best possible fishing experience, which is why we are always willing to move to a different spot when needed. We truly appreciate your recommendation and hope to welcome you back on board Aqua Fishing Charters again soon! Best regards, The Aqua Fishing Charters Team
From the first drop, we were straight into fish and it didn't stop. It was honestly a lot of fun the whole time. Captain Josué clearly knows exactly where to go and how to keep you on them. As filled three boxes by the end, which says everything about the consistency and experience. You're not just catching fish, you're learning throughout the trip without even realizing it. If you're thinking about it, just book it.You won´t find better.
Thanks a lot, really appreciate it. Glad you enjoyed it and hope to have you back on board soon!
