Visiting Madeira is an adventure on its own. But if you really want to take it to the next level, spend a day of fishing with Fish Point charters. Join Captain Nelson who’s got fishing in his veins. As it goes with anyone who’s passionate about what they do, this isn’t just a job - it’s a way of living. No matter how skilled or unskilled you are, there’s a place for you on Capt. Nelson’s boat.

Speaking of which, the boat is a 25’ Seagame center console that accommodates up to 6 guests. This reliable fishing machine was built in 2020, so she’s equipped with the latest Simrad navigational equipment and safety gear. The boat is powered by a 300 HP Yamaha engine and also features a live bait tank and a cooler.

The trip can be as easy or challenging as you want it to be. It all depends on what you want to catch, how far you want to go, and which fishing techniques you want to practice. Target inshore Snapper, Bonito, and Bluefish, or set off to the depths where you can catch Tuna, Mahi Mahi, Barracuda, and Wahoo. Of course, the waters are so bountiful that there are also plenty of other fish species in between.

You’ll easily get ready for the trip, as all you need are sunglasses, a camera, and a hat. Everything else is covered by the crew and included in the price. This means you don’t have to worry about your fishing licenses, equipment, snacks, and drinks.

The adventure awaits with Fish Point, so join them!
