3 Hours. Private Chart. FISHING(PM) on October 30, 2024
We Where 7 people on the boat and everyone got at least one fish. Mostly barracudas, which was the most fun fish to catch. We contacted the captain days before the fishing trip, and he answered all our questions. We also asked captain to modify our fishing trip the way we wanted. 1h trolling and 2h fishing with shrimp and live bait. We caught 10 barracudas and 3 pufferfish. I highly recommend this fishing trip. If you want to catch big fish, focus on trolling. But if you’re like us and just want to catch a fish, focus on fishing with bait. The barracudas fights where really fun to handle.

7 Hour – Shared Boat FISHING on August 6, 2024
What can I say? What an amazing trip!! The Captain and Crew were nothing but perfect. So friendly and helpful and they work so hard to put you on the fish, on this occasion it was not my turn but that's why it's calling fishing and not catching. Nice to see the other guys catch. Plenty of refreshments on board and OMG the freshly cooked Bonito served with bread, AMAZING. I recommend this trip 100%, get booking, you won't be disappointed. 5 Stars from me!!🎣🐟

Absolutely amazing crew, so friendly and helpful and went above and beyond to try and find the fish.three anglers caught tuna but wasn’t my day for it. It’s called fishing and not catching for a reason. Would highly recommend and will be booking again on my return to Tenerife 100/10 !

My father used to take me fishing in his old little boat called "Angelita." Many times he reminds me of the day I caught my first fish at the age of 4 and with his help, a "Pallete" (Seabream) weighing about 400 grams. Today, at 51 years old, I still go fishing in the same waters where I first learned how to cast a line, the waters I've known all my life.
