Native Crew – Fishing & Tours
Native Crew – Fishing & Tours
Native Crew has a trip with your name on it along the stunning waters of Madeira Island.
These waters are known for Amberjack, Great Barracuda, Dentex, Wahoo, Mahi Mahi, Gray Triggerfish, Skipjack Tuna, and more – with any luck, you'll find out for yourself! For these species, you're likely to drift and bottom fish using light tackle.
Trips with Native Crew are open to the whole family, so go ahead and bring the whole family along! Children must wear life vests, so find out if the appropriate size is available on board.
Your day begins aboard a 22' Starfisher saltwater fishing boat with room for 4 passengers. It comes with all the essentials. There's a small toilet inside of the cabin for your convenience. You'll find rods, reels, and tackle waiting for you, along with lures. Live bait is on offer depending on the season.
Trips are run with the help of a First Mate. It's customary to tip the Mate to show your appreciation. There's no need to buy a fishing license, so you can drive right over and come aboard without any hassle! Be mindful that some species may have special rules or limited seasons. Simply ask and your captain can tell you more.
Don't forget to bring a hat, sunglasses, and sunscreen (non-spray). Drinks will be available for you. Alcohol is allowed in moderation, just be sure to avoid hard liquor as well as glass bottles. There will be some light snacks provided on board.

Firstly i want to give a big shout out to Pedro and Dino who are two really friendly and genuinely cool dudes that make the whole fishing experience super fun and informative by answering any questions you may have on the trip. The trip itself was really focused on tracking down the fish through watching currents and monitoring the fish finder instead of endless trolling just to catch one or two fish like most big game charters. The smaller boat and lighter setups allowed for a very dynamic fishing approach throughout the day and resulted in us catching a barracuda, amberjack, tuna, hogfish and other smaller reef fish like grouper. Additionally the crew provided drinks, snacks and a great environment to joke around and have a good time. Felt like a morning on the water with some friends. Will definitely book again and highly recommend to anyone looking for a good charter on Madeira.
Very nice Trip, Pedro and Dino . They were perfectly in time, good prepared and had some good ideas about which kind of fishing will be the most successful in the situation. we made trolling and had the first bite right after the harbour. Mahi Mahi escaped. at the end, we had 8 bites and 5 landed. Barracuda, 2x Mahi Mahi, Bonito, Swordfish. Pedro and Dino explained a lot, speak good english. Top trip with sunset at the end.
If you're looking for a great time on the water, look no further than Captain Pedro. We went out for a 4-hour trolling session and honestly had a blast from start to finish. Pedro is a legend—super chill, professional, and clearly knows these waters like the back of his hand. Even though the fish weren't feeling particularly hungry that day (we only managed to land one small barracuda), it wasn't for lack of effort. Pedro was determined to get us a big one! He even let us stay out for an extra hour free of charge just to give us the best possible chance. The boat had a great vibe, the equipment was top-notch, and the conversation was even better. Sometimes fishing is about more than just the catch; it's about the experience and the company, and Pedro made sure we had a 10/10 day.
Captain Pedro and Dino were really great company. Everybody caught nice fish with fishing rods. One curious triggerfish was taken with handline. But the grand finale' was a 90 minute battle with a 140 cm 65+ kg Bigeye Tuna. What a tour!
Had a fantastic time on the water both guys are super friendly and helpful! Boat was perfect for 4 people and we all had an amazing time! Even with not ideal conditions they tried extremely hard to bring us to places with good fishing spots. Pedro was also very good about communicating everything before hand and made it very easy to find then in the marina.

My Grandfather was a fisherman all his life, so his passion for fishing and the sea was born in me for as long as I can remember. I left my business on the mainland to dedicate my life to the sea and share this passion with the World.
