Flipper II Madeira wishes you a warm welcome to Calheta, Madeira, one of Portugal’s prime angling destinations. From inshore and nearshore fishing to offshore spots to reefs, wrecks, and flats, you’ll definitely find a fishing option you’ll have lots of fun with. Skipper Mick French is an expert in these grounds and will make sure you have a trip you’ll remember for the rest of your life.

Your journey begins on a 29’ Benatau Antares saltwater fishing boat. It’s powered by a twin 200 HP Volvo Penta engine and can sit up to 4 guests. Its navigation system is comprised of all the modern GPS, fishfinder, radio, as well as radar technology. The various onboard facilities are comfortable and include a flybridge, kitchen, toilet, shower, and beds. The boat also well-equipped for fishing. There are outriggers, downriggers, spearfishing gear, a fighting chair, and livewell. You can also use the refrigerator and ice-box. In case you need any help, there will be a first mate to address your needs.

There’s a great variety of fish to catch in Calheta. To mention just some of the species, you can go after Marlin, Wahoo, Tuna, Mahi Mahi, Trevally, and Snapper. Using both light and heavy tackle, you and the skipper will catch them by bottom and deep sea fishing, trolling, spinning, jigging, popping, as well as drift fishing. You can keep all your catch if you wish, and you’re welcome to bring along your kids on your trip.

Skipper Mick will provide you with all the fishing equipment, bait, licenses, as well as snacks and drinks. Having that said, yours is only to arrive on time and be ready for lots of fun.

Flipper II Madeira is eagerly waiting for you. Come and have an unforgettable day on the water in Calheta!

September fishing trip
4 Hour Trip – Bottom Fishing (PM) on September 26, 2025 β€’ 1 adult
Spent the afternoon bottom fishing with Mick and Neil. Had a thoroughly enjoyable time in good company on a well equipped boat. The fishing itself was a little slow but that was certainly not for the want of effort on the part of Mick and Neil. Wouldn't hesitate to book up with them next time I'm in Madeira.

Half Day – Big Game Fishing (AM) on May 29, 2025 β€’ 1 adult β€’ 1 child
It was a great half day trip on the water - the lure spread looked amazing, the captain and crew did everything perfectly (Micky was fantastic with my 3 year old son) and the view of the island from the water added to my appreciation of the beauty of the island. My son said that "we have to come back fishing again," which proves they are a perfect charter for adults and children - see you again soon!

Sometimes they don't bite ... it s called fishing, not catching, so never sure of a fish. Neil went out of his way to find the fish, Mick was an absolutely great rigger and pleasant company. Would absolutely recommend
