Freed´em Fishing - Big Game Fishing Madeira
Freed'em Fishing runs fully private offshore charters departing from Funchal Marina, no shared trips and no strangers on board. The entire boat is yours.
Freed'em Fishing runs 4-hour and 7-hour offshore charters targeting species such as Blue Marlin, Yellowfin Tuna, Wahoo, and Mahi Mahi in the deep Atlantic waters surrounding Madeira.
Just a few miles after leaving the marina, the ocean drops to depths of over 1,000 meters, creating excellent conditions for big game fishing. Madeira is widely known as one of the top Blue Marlin destinations in the Atlantic, with peak marlin season typically running from June through September.
You will fish aboard the Freed'em, a restored 30ft Henriques sportfishing boat built for offshore conditions. The vessel is equipped with heavy tackle, a fighting chair, live bait tank, modern electronics, and a marine toilet on board. Up to 8 guests can join the charter.
Freed'em Fishing focuses primarily on big game trolling, but the crew also fishes with light tackle, jigging, and bottom fishing for species such as Amberjack, Snapper, and other reef fish.
Whether it's your first time offshore or you've been fishing for years, the crew will set up the gear, explain the techniques, and guide you through the action when a fish hits so you're part of the experience, not just watching from the sidelines.
All fishing equipment, bait, licences, snacks, and drinks are included. After the trip, the crew will clean and fillet your catch on board, ready to take home or straight to your hotel kitchen.

Adrian WaltonRepeat angler5.0VerifiedEXCELLENT experience on the water, with Captain Nuno & 1st Mate Joseph! A Must-Do in Madeira!
4 Hour Trip – Bottom Fishing on April 8, 2026 • 2 adultsAs beautiful as Madeira is by land, seeing it from the water on Capt. Nuno’s gorgeous boat is even more glorious. Capt. Nuno is a magnanimous spirit and an incredible host— As is his first mate Joseph. Catching a fish would have been great, but my husband and I are experienced anglers and know that sometimes the fish simply aren’t biting in spite of noble efforts. They were delightful and insightful to spend a half a day with, and the experience still gets a 10! We can’t wait to return in the summer months and give it another run, and get on some big game fish. They can at times be elusive, but when you get on them it is well worth the effort. THANK you both, for an unforgettable day, and for your gorgeous hospitality. Cheers, until next time!
Jacob Sosna5.0VerifiedNo fish but amazing experience!
4 Hour Trip – Big Game Fishing on May 15, 2026 • 2 adultsUnfortunately we did not catch a fish this trip but Captain Nuno, Robert, and Joseph were the best crew we could have asked for! It was clear they were doing everything they could to help us catch one, but just wasn't in the cards for this trip. We did get to see some amazing whales and dolphins up close at sunset. This alone made it worth and they went above and beyond to take personal photos and answer any questions we had. I would highly recommend this team on the Dream on or the Freed Em' for any fishing trip in Madeira. Would certainly do again without hesitation.
Anthony Hegarty5.0VerifiedGreat trip!!
4 Hour Trip – Big Game Fishing on July 30, 2026 • 1 adultFishing is not only about catching!! it's the surroundings, it's the anticipation! it's watching and waiting!! My trip with Nuno and Pedro was excellent, catching something would have been the icing on the cake, but that doesn't always happen!! Maybe next time!! and there definitely will be a next time!! Highly recommended trip, Captain and crew!!
