Grand Holiday Tours 

We just got back from Madeira and this trip was the highlight of our holiday. We tried a bit of everything: trolling, jigging, and live bait fishing. The captains switched techniques depending on conditions and explained each one clearly, so even when the fish took a break, there was always something new to try and learn. As someone who mostly fishes rivers back home, it was great to experience proper offshore fishing done this well. But what really made the day was the crew. Our captains were wonderful, relaxed, and genuinely fun to be around, and we laughed the entire time. The best part for me was that this was Sara's first fishing trip ever. I was a little nervous about whether she'd enjoy a full day out on the ocean, but the captains made her feel completely at ease, patiently showed her what to do, and made sure she was involved in every catch. She loved it, and on the way back to the harbor she was already asking when we're going again. Honestly, I couldn't have asked for a better result. If you're in Madeira, book this charter. Great fishing, great people, and a day you'll be laughing about long after you're back on land. Ja, ja, we'll definitely be back!

Right from the start, we felt completely at ease. Everything was sorted down to the last detail – the equipment, the boat, the food and drinks… Alex and Luci’s personalities made the trip even more enjoyable. They were so friendly, thoughtful and passionate about what they do. They were just as delighted as we were when we caught two big wahoo’s. After that, they did their absolute best to help us catch more and make things as comfortable as possible, even when I wasn’t feeling too well due to seasickness. It was a brilliant day that I – but especially my two sons, who really looked up to Alex – won’t forget! The next time we come to Madeira, we will catch that blue marlin! :) HIGHLY RECOMMENDED

Captain Lucy and First Mate Alex were fabulous hosts on their very well equipped and clean boat. They are fun to hang out with and Alex is a very experienced fisherman, we caught grouper and triggerfish, which is delicious! They kindly arranged for our catch to be prepared at a local restaurant in the marina which was a perfect end to our perfect morning of fishing. Yah Yah!

We hadden vier keer beet en bijna een Wahoo geland. maar die loste vlak voor de boot. Uiteindelijk vingen we een mooie tonijn die we na een tip van de booteigenaren in het restaurant in de haven konden laten fileren en grillen. Het werd een overheerlijke, verser dan verse lunch voor ons. Wat de dag speciaal maakte, was dat de kapitein en zijn vrouw er alles aan deden om ons op ons gemak te laten voelen en om ons vis te laten vangen. Ze voeren bijna een uur langer door en wilden niet stoppen voordat wij een succeservaring konden boeken. Het lukte uiteindelijk in die extra tijd. We hebben dat ontzettend gewaardeerd. En het zegt alles over deze mensen . Je kunt met een gerust hart boeken bij deze toppers!

We took our 8-year-old daughter on her very first fishing trip, and it was an incredible experience from start to finish. The crew went above and beyond to make sure she had a wonderful time, and she ended up catching 12 fish. She is already talking about when she can go fishing again. They even coordinated with one of the marina restaurants to cook our catch for us, and it was absolutely delicious. Everything about this trip was fantastic. This is a definite must-book experience!
