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!

Half Day – Big Game Fishing (AM)
No bites but my 3 year old is hooks!
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!

Super trip even without fish
The trip and crew were awsome. We didn't catch any fish but sometimes it is like that. Boat was super, equipment also. Crew super friendly and we have some nice chat.

Half Day – Big Game Fishing (PM)
Unlucky with the weather but good day out nontheless
We can tell in the short time we spent with Mick and Neil that they are really good people. They really care about the experience of the customer and do their best to catch you a fish of a lifetime. We didn’t have the weather on our but this was the hand we were dealt and out of the captains control. Will be back to try again!

Kids first fishing trip in the ocean
The crew made the fishing fun, particularly for my 7 and 9 year old. They loved the fishing lessons and the lack of any boredom. Thanks

3 Hour Big Game Fishing (am)
So close to a marlin!
Great crew on a clean and pleasant boat. We had the fortune of getting a marlin to go for the bait but unfortunately it spit the bait out before we had the chance to reel it in! nevertheless a super pleasant tour. Would definately book again if we come back to Madeira!
