Jorge De La Fuente Rodríguez5.0VerifiedNewJornada de pesca inolvidable en familia, un 10 rotundo!
4 Hour Trip – Bottom Fishing Shared on September 15, 2026 • 2 adults • 1 childUna experiencia sencillamente espectacular de principio a fin. Fui con mi hijo y la jornada superó todas nuestras expectativas: no paramos de sacar capturas y nos volvimos a casa con una bolsa bien llena de pescado fresco. El trato a bordo fue insuperable; tanto el capitán como su compañero son unos auténticos profesionales, atentos en todo momento, facilitándonos todo y asegurándose de que disfrutáramos al máximo cada minuto. Recomendado al 100%, ¡sin duda repetiremos cuando volvamos!
Richard Lee5.0VerifiedFantastic fishing trip for beginners!
2 Hour Trip – Family Fishing Shared on August 12, 2026 • 2 adultsMy son and I went on the 2-hour fishing trip with Alvor Boat Trips and, as complete beginners, we thought it was perfect for us. It took around half an hour to reach the reef, where the team set up the rods and got everyone ready to fish. There wasn’t a huge amount of instruction, but to be honest, we didn’t really need it. Everybody seemed to catch plenty of fish, and between us we caught mackerel, boga, sea bream and Pandora. We had around an hour and a half of fishing before heading back to Alvor, which felt like the right amount of time. The whole experience was really easy from start to finish — booking was straightforward and we just had to turn up with nothing. A great option if you’re new to fishing and want to give it a go without committing to a full-day trip. We both really enjoyed it and would definitely recommend it.
Brendan HollemanRepeat angler5.0VerifiedNewA top notch charter and crew
4 Hour Trip – Bottom Fishing Shared on September 5, 2026 • 3 adultsWe couldn't be more satisfied. From start to finish, they helped my 4 & 8 year old daughters have an incredible experience. We've been on charters where they just give us bait and that's it. But their crew never left my daughters' side and helped them every step of the way. We will DEFINITELY be back and would recommend 100% to anyone looking for a family-friendly charter
Shane Hall5.0Verifiedunbelievable trip. Don't miss out
4 Hour Trip – Bottom Fishing Shared on May 28, 2026 • 2 adultsMyself and my son booked in for 4 hour bottom fishing this morning and had a brilliant experience and caught lots of fish which we enjoyed at restaurant when we came back in from fishing. The crew are amazing start to finish and full of knowledge and extremely helpful. Boat left on time and is a must do experience for anyone who likes to fish. Price is very affordable and fair. We will be returning when we visit again to next time do the shark 🦈 fishing. I'd rate the experience 10/10 for the staff alone.
Maryna Hemberova5.0VerifiedA melhor pesca de sempre!

Oleg Stolz5.0VerifiedИнтересный опыт!
2 Hour Trip – Family Fishing Shared on August 28, 2026 • 2 adultsприятная атмосфера, улов пусть и не большой, но для двух часов пол ведра разношерстной рыбы , считаю отличным результатом. Команда и капитан довольно приятные , помогали со всем, что может потребоваться. хотел бы сьездить на 4-6-8ми часовую рыбалку!
Peter Cerda5.0Verifiedincredible experience
4 Hour Trip – Bottom Fishing Shared on August 8, 2026 • 2 adultsmy wife and I booked this trip as part of our honeymoon and it did not disappoint. the captain and crew were fantastic. they were helpful and great at providing tips. We were catching fish within minutes of stopping and caught seemingly non stop for hours. we even caught a large red snapper each, which was delicious when we took it to their partner restaurant. if we are ever back in the area we will be booking again!
Colin Chin-a-loy5.0VerifiedGreat day catching
4 Hour Trip – Bottom Fishing Shared on May 20, 2026 • 2 adultsFirst cast caught a fish. Subsequent casts produced more fish. Varieties included white and black bream, horse mackerel, and trumpet fish. Our 4 hr excursion with 8 anglers ended with over 60 fish. Took our catch to the restaurant next door and they cleaned and cooked them up and served with salad, potatoes, and some sort of stuffing, for 10 euros. Delicious. Captain and crew were awesome. Highly recommend.
Susana Correia5.0VerifiedNewFoi uma experiência incrível.
