Book your next trip with Fishing Family and find out what makes the fishing in Funchal so unique. With Captain Antonio and crew at the helm, you'll have a knowledgeable and experienced guide.
There's no guarantee when you're fishing, but just some of the species you can catch around here include Barracuda, Albacore Tuna, Gray Triggerfish, and more, depending on conditions. On the day of your trip you're likely to troll and bottom fishing.
Families making a day of it will be glad to know that kids are welcome aboard! We have a child-sized life vest, be sure to ask on board. Don't forget to bring snacks so that everyone stays happy and energized!
Your day begins aboard a 22' Quicksilver 640 pilothouse that holds up to 4 passengers. It comes with all the essentials no fishing machine can run without. There's a toilet on board for your convenience.
Your fishing license for the day is covered by the charter boat, so all you have to do is look forward to your trip! Keep in mind that you may release some fish due to regulations. Your captain will help you follow regulations while you fish.
Don't leave home without sunglasses, and sunscreen (non-spray). There will be some drinks on offer, but let the captain know if you wish to bring your own. Alcohol is allowed in moderation, but try to avoid hard liquor as well as glass bottles. There will be some light snacks included on board.
Now, come aboard with Fishing Family and get hooked!
We love family’s with children’s

Bottom fishing
We had a great morning fishing. My son (15yr) and I started Pike fishing in the Netherlands some months ago, so this was our first trip on the sea. We were the only ones on the boat with captain and experienced local fisher. The very friendly crew helped us speed up to learn bottom fishing and were very active finding good spots. We caught about 7 fish (including a grouper, snapper and trigger fish). So an excellent morning and experience with my son.

This morning my family.and I went fishing with fishing family. Captain was very safe and because my daughter is young he took no chances on getting into rough water. We fished calmer seas and caught at least 22 fish. Kids had a blast makes mom and dad happy! Thank you ! Bro! Kindly Tim Noha

Tuna fishing big Game
Had a great half day fishing. Crew were really friendly and helpful. We were quite inexperienced but still enjoyed every minute. And was nice to spot a dolphin too with the view of the beautiful island, Madeira to enjoy as well. Thank you very much, John
