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, Snapper, Grouper, 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 Gallart 13'50 that holds up to 6 passengers. It comes with all the essentials no fishing machine can run without. There's 2 toilet, 2 bedrooms and kitchen 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. 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!

    Beautiful experience

    5 Hour Trip – Fish For Your Dinner on August 4, 2026 • 1 adult

    Antonio and Kevin were absolutely amazing. They helped me and my not skilled friends at fishing actually catch a meal for the night we were able to experience Madeira fishing to the max in a short time of four hours. Highly recommend we caught 11 fish.

    August fishing trip

    Fishing trip shared on August 20, 2026 • 2 adults

    A great experience, we all have caught some fish, all the equipment was provided (no additional costs). The only thing I was missing were some more precise instructions from the crew (about the meeting point and fishing also), maybe some more facts etc., but overall it was nice. We even saw a turtle, a dolphin and flying fish!

Capt. Jose is experienced in navigating the waters of Funchal, Madeira and is ready to take you on a therapeutic fishing excursion. Keep your eyes peeled for Short-Tail Red Snapper (Ehu), Pacific Barracuda and Goliath Grouper as you try your hand at bottom fishing, spinning, trolling, jigging, and more. The only way to learn is to join them on the water.
