If you plan on fishing in Tavira, look no further than Aquasares – Mariola Fishing. With Captain Artur Venâncio at the helm, you'll have a knowledgeable and experienced, since early days of 1990.

These waters are known for Dentex, Gilt-head (Seabream) in Botom Fishing, and light tackle trolling for Skipjack, Mahi Mahi, Little Tunny (False Albacore) and White Marlin, Heavy Tackle for Blue Marlin, and Drifting for very good size Blue Shark, Mako Shark, Thresher Shark, and more.
Late June to End of July the main focus goes to the Giant Bluefin Tuna, in huge schools, catching with heavy tackle trolling.
With any luck, they'll make your reel scream.

Your adventure begins aboard a San Remo 25' sportfishing boat that holds up to 4 passengers. It comes with outriggers, a fighting chair, and all the essentials. There's a toilet on board for your convenience. Rods, reels, and tackle are ready for you, along with lures. Live bait is available, but you should ask the captain whether you'll be catching it yourself.

Before coming aboard, you will need to buy a local fishing license for everyone in your group. This information is usually available online, or you can ask the captain. Some species might be protected or require a tag to keep them, so make sure you know what to expect.

It's never a bad idea to bring sunscreen (non-spray), and sunglasses. There will be some drinks on offer, but let the captain know if you wish to bring your own. Alcohol is allowed in moderation, just be sure to avoid hard liquor as well as glass bottles. There will be some light snacks provided on board.

BEST BIG GAME FISHING TRIP IN ALGARVE!! Highly recommended!
SHARK FISHING - Half day trip on August 12, 2026

From the beginning till the end, we had an amazing time. Both crew members were amazing friendly, helpfull and truly are professionals about big game fishing. My brother, nephew of 10 and I, went the 3 of us and the whole trip, they were amazing hosts.. supplied us with a lot of great sandwhiches and other food plus enough drinks/beers etc.. Both guys are amazing friendly, helpfull with everything about how to use the material and also a lot great stories about their own experience. During our almost 6 hours trip, we catched 3 sharks and saw so many other fishes, dophins and also a huge shark of almost 3 meters coming towards our boat.. unfortunately it changed path due to the dophins but again, we catched what we came for and they truly educated us a lot about fishing and about their own catches.. Really professional guys that do this just because they love it and not just for money... If you are looking to have an amazing trip with everything included for also an amazing price, I trully recommended booking with them! Promise you wont regret and next time I definitely coming back to catch this 3 meter blue shark haha.. Thanks for everything guys, was the best trip I haven been! See you next time, Abraco Ernest

August fishing trip
Half Day Trip – Reef Fishing on August 25, 2026

We had a perfect morning! Although this was my third time sea fishing, it was definitely the most successful trip I've ever had, and I was so happy with our catch. Artur and Brunowas incredibly patient and did a wonderful job teaching and guiding my 5-year-old son. Ever since we finished the trip, my son hasn't stopped asking when we can go fishing again! They was also extremely professional, warm and welcoming, and everything was very thoughtfully prepared and well organised. We had such a fantastic experience and will definitely be back!

5 hour trip with captain Arthur Venancio and his crew
SHARK FISHING - Half day trip on August 2, 2026

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ An Unforgettable Fishing Adventure! What an incredible day on the water! From the moment we left the harbor, the crew made us feel welcome and created an amazing atmosphere. They were professional, friendly, and clearly passionate about fishing. The action was unbelievable. We landed three blue sharks, including one that was so massive it couldn't even fit into the boat! We also caught a stingray, and on top of that, we had two more sharks on the line that unfortunately got away—which only added to the excitement of the day. Between the shark action, we had some great conversations with the crew and even spent some time jigging for mackerel, making the whole experience even more enjoyable and varied. This trip was the perfect mix of adrenaline, adventure, and great company. If you're looking for an unforgettable fishing experience with an amazing crew, this is the trip to book. We couldn't have asked for a better day and would absolutely do it again. Highly recommended – 5 stars without a doubt!

Great Crew! Great Boat! Great catch!
Half Day Trip – Reef Fishing on July 20, 20263 adults1 child

We had a great time and fishing experience! Our Team my best mate with his son and my son and me, with no fishing skills, had the best team aside with Artur and Noah, who are very professional skilled fishermen taking time to teach and explain. They are super friendly showing the kinds how to fish, making it for them a life time experience they would never forget. Even when my son went slightly sea sick at the beginning, Noah gave him a pill which in minutes make him feel better and he could catch a lot of fish! Awesome! We had a great time on board with snacks and delicious Natas, a variety of drinks on board of the Mariola! Noah prepared a little sashimi with a Carapau we just caught, incredible delicious! We wish Captain Artur and Chief Mate Noah all the best, thanking them for their time! Looking forward to the next trip! Thank you!

Brilliant Day... We caught a Blue Shark...
SHARK FISHING - Half day trip on July 2, 2026

We had a brilliant day, thanks to Arthur and Noam... E headed out to a spot and set 4 rids in the water for sharks... Put the chum in the water... within a few minutes we were pulling in lots.of Mackeral... All good to attract the sharks... The Mackeral left and no sharks... We kept drifting and Arthur and Noam kept adding sardines oil etc to the water... My son then caught a bunch of Needle fish which he enjoyed, we saw a few huge Tuna Fish breaching close by... Then after a while and another bag.of chum added.to the water my son reeled in a Blue Shark...!! We were delighted. It was a small female about 20kg, 6 ft long... Thanks to Arthur who never gave up and kept doing little things to help catch the Shark. What an amazing day... Arthur really knows what he is doing... He has lots.of experience and is a lovely guy... I would deffo recommend him as he just loves fishing for anything and he really knows his stuff... 👍

Reported catch:
