If you happen to spend your next vacation in Portugal, give Azores Fishing a try. This is a friendly crew with a wealth of local knowledge who always works hard to provide a fun-filled adventure.

The Azores is worldwide renowned for its amazing fishing opportunities. Test your angling skills and try your hand at trolling for Mako Shark, Yellowfin and Bluefin Tuna, White and Blue Marlin, Mahi Mahi, Wahoo, and other species that are in season and biting. There are various packages that can suit any schedule!

All of that magic happens aboard the Sensei, a 42’ Rodman 1250 Fisher Pro sport fishing boat. This is a seaworthy vessel that comes powered by twin 500 HP Volvo Penta engines and enough room for up to 12 passengers or 10 anglers.

The Sensei is outrigged with top-notch electronics and professional accessories to make a great catch possible. She features a restroom, a kitchen, bathroom, two bedrooms, and a stereo to make sure you have a relaxing trip from start to finish.

All trips include the use of quality rods, reels, tackle, lures, and bait that you will be able to catch as part of the adventure. Full day trips include lunch on board, cheese, coffee, local tea, water, and sodas, as well as a variety of local snacks.
