Discover the Azores Like a True Fishing Mate
At Sport Fishing Mate – Azores, we don’t just offer charters — we deliver an authentic experience deeply rooted in the culture and natural beauty of São Miguel Island. Our captain, Nuno Santos, grew up in these waters and knows every secret the ocean holds.
Whether you're after the thrill of Big Game fishing chasing Marlins and Tunas or prefer the more relaxed Light Tackle trips targeting species like amberjack, barracuda, skipjack, and Atlantic bonito, we customize every outing to your preferences and skill level. With a maximum of four guests per trip, you get a personalized adventure — perfect for families, friends, or solo anglers looking for expert guidance.
Our vessel is a modern, 23-foot Yamaha sportfishing boat, specifically designed for fishing and powered by a reliable 150 HP Yamaha engine, combining comfort and high performance. Equipped with the latest technology — from Garmin navigation systems to top-notch fishing gear — it ensures safety and success on every voyage. Onboard amenities include a battle station for fighting big fish with ease, outriggers to optimize trolling spread, and even a toilet for your convenience.
Don’t forget to bring sunglasses, sunblock (non-spray), and a hat. There will be some drinks on offer, but let the captain know if you wish to bring your own. Alcohol is allowed in moderation, provided hard liquor and glass bottles are avoided. Food and some light snacks will be included on board.
Beyond the fishing, enjoy breathtaking views of the Azorean coast, the warm hospitality of our crew, and the unique thrill of connecting with nature in one of the world’s best fishing destinations.
Ready to make memories that will last a lifetime? Book your trip now and become our fishing mate!

Half Day – Costal Fishing (Private)
The day started with a storm, then the wind and waves picked up, but Nuno never stopped trying to find a spot where we could make more catches. Even so, we managed to catch 4 barracudas. Many thanks to Nuno and company — we had a wonderful time enjoying your kindness and attention.
