Sea Spirit - Calheta Blue Marlin Charters
Sea Spirit – Private Blue Marlin Charters
Private Big Game charters from Calheta Marina. Sea Spirit is trolling in deep blue water in 15min — 20min faster than Funchal boats = more lines-in time where 500lb+ Blue Marlin, Bigeye Tuna, and Wahoo hunt. Private charter for your group only. No shared trips.
About this charter
Land Madeira’s giants with Sea Spirit — Calheta’s quickest route to blue water.
The Boat: 35ft Cabo Sportfisher Convertible with flybridge. Twin 454HP CAT diesels, 28-knot cruise. Fully rigged for tournament big game: outriggers, cockpit fighting chair, Penn & Shimano 30–130lb class, tournament-winning lures, and live bait well.
The Comfort: Fish hard, rest easy. Enclosed head with shower, A/C cabin, galley kitchen + fridge, berth to nap, Simrad electronics suite, radar, and sat phone for safety. Your group of up to 8 fishes in comfort.
The Species:
Offshore Big Game May–Oct: Blue Marlin, White Marlin, Longbill Spearfish, Bigeye Tuna, Yellowfin, Albacore, Skipjack, Wahoo, Dorado/Mahi Mahi.
Inshore/Light Tackle Year-Round: Amberjack, Snapper, Trigger Fish, Dentex, Bream, Grouper. We run jigging, bottom fishing, and high-speed trolling for wahoo.
What’s Included: All fishing licenses, tackle, bait, and catch cleaning. Tag & Release for all Billfish with The Billfish Foundation. Keep your tuna, wahoo, and Mahi. Full day trips include cold drinks, snacks, and light lunch. 4hr from $799 | 5hr from $969 | 6hr from $1,039 | 8hr from $1,319.
Why Calheta: Calheta Marina puts you 15–20 minutes closer to the deep blue water than Funchal boats. When the marlin bite is hot, those extra hours with lines in the water make the difference.
Captain & Crew: IGFA Capt. Chris Parkin — Owner/Operator. We also run with Calheta local skippers with over 25 years experience in Madeira waters. Tournamnet rigged boat, we fish to IGFA standards. Tips optional — we’re here for the bite, not the tip jar.
