Funchal has a fish with your name on it, so let Aventura Fishing Charters help you catch it!

Depending on the time of year, you might hook into Mahi Mahi, Great Barracuda, Bluefin Tuna, Blue Marlin, White Marlin, Longbill Spearfish, Bigeye Tuna, Wahoo, and who knows what else! On these trips, you can expect to drift and bottom fish using heavy tackle. Any fish within the legal limit are yours to take home.

Looking to get the whole family outdoors? Kids are absolutely welcome! If you don't have a child-sized life vest of your own, be sure to ask if there's one on board. Also remember to bring snacks to stay fueled throughout your trip!

You'll be dropping lines from a 30' Astinor 1000 sportfishing vessel that can carry up to 6 passengers. It comes with outriggers, a fighting chair, and everything you need for a productive day on the water. There's a toilet on board for your convenience. Rods, reels, and tackle are covered by the charter, as well as lures.

You'll have the help of a First Mate to put you on fish. Mates work hard to make your trip count, so a 10–20% tip is customary.

The charter boat covers your fishing license, so all you have to do is show up ready for a good time! Be mindful that some species may have special rules or limited seasons. If you don't know what to expect, ask the captain.

A few items to bring include sunscreen (non-spray), and sunglasses. 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 included on board.

If you have any questions about fishing with Aventura Fishing Charters, you can send Capt. Fábio a message down below.
