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!

Great Skipper and crew!
Evening Tuna Fishing Trip on April 14, 20261 adult

I would absolutely book another charter with this Skipper. She promptly answered all messages and provided updated recommendations to improve my chances of catching the trophy fish I was looking for before the trip. During the trip, she provided insights about the island and its local culture and also gave me some good information I could use for the next time I booked a charter on the island. While I did not catch any fishes on my charter. I'm planning on coming back to the island for another try at catching my trophy fish. When I do, Skipper Mick will be my first choice for a charter.

thank you Royston looking forward to seeing you next time Micky

Half Day Mixed Fishing am on June 10, 20262 adults2 children

Did a half day with some trolling and bottom fishing with captain Neil and Micky. Got Mahi on the line but he shook free. Caught some trigger and dorado for lunch. Crew was great with my boys, if you can get on their boat (very busy schedule), I'd highly recommend them! Sorry again to Steve, my son caught him with a hook😬

Reported catch:
Dolphin (Mahi Mahi)

thank you Jay we also really enjoyed the trip and look forward to seeing you again 🎣 Micky

Mick et son mari étaient géniaux. Ils nous ont directement mis à l'aise et malgré que nous n'ayons pas attrapé de gros poissons, nous avons passé un super moment. Nous avons pu repartir avec nos plus belles prises et les avons fait préparer par le restaurant juste en face de la marina 👌🏼 Nous recommencerons sans hésiter !

Reported catch:
Red Snapper
