Great Trip
Catch and cook on July 21, 20262 adults1 child

There were 2 adults and my grand kid who went out on the trip and Miguel (Captain) and Felipe were excellent. They made sure everyone enjoyed the trip and more importantly caught fish. When we got back to port, they cooked the fish we kept and to say it was delicious would be an understatement. Fresh fish and cooked to perfection. If you are planning on visiting the Azores, book this trip as these guys deserve to be supported. Brilliant, brilliant, brilliant.

Highly Recommend This Charter
4 Hour Trip – Bottom Fishing (AM) on June 28, 20252 adults

This was hands down my favorite fishing charter experience ever. Captain Miguel was incredible — knowledgeable, friendly, and made the whole trip feel relaxed and fun. The first mate was equally awesome, super helpful and great company throughout the day. We caught a ton of grouper and had some really good conversations along the way. Both Miguel and the first mate were genuinely kind and made sure everyone had a great time. If you're looking for a top-notch fishing trip, this is the one. Can't recommend it enough!
