Awesome trip
4 Hour Trip – Bottom Fishing (AM) on June 6, 20264 adults2 children

The booking process was seamless. Captain Luis contacted me 2 minutes after the booking and asked some questions about the party, (ages of the kids). Based upon that, he chose a larger more comfortable boat for us. He then touched base with me a few days before and the day before the trip, with perfect directions. He and his colleague, Felipe gave perfect instruction and helped couple of kids who had never fished before. We ended up catching about 25 fish. I would definitely recommend him and would use him again in the future. I've been on many charters and this was one of the best.

Reported catch:
Red Snapper
Black Grouper

Nice fishing trip with lots of fish.
4 Hour Trip – Bottom Fishing (AM) on June 12, 20264 adults

Luis and Duarte were good hosts and helped us a lot during the fishing. We kept on searching for good spots. First 1,5 hours we didn't really catch that much, until we found some better spots and managed to return home with a bag full of fish, around 10kg in total, around 30 fish! Way to much for ourselves so we made some neighbors really happy 😊 Very recommendable!

Fantastic day on a boat
4 Hour Trip – Bottom Fishing (AM) on February 1, 20262 adults2 children

It was great family time which resulted in fish that we were eating for the next few days:) Everything was very professional. Even if somebody from the group is not interested in fishing it's still really nice to spend time watching gorgeus Madeira coastline from the upper deck.
