Today my girlfriend and I went out fishing with Captain Ricardo on a half-day trip. Ricardo started by asking about our preferences and target species, then took us out to open sea with a beautiful view of Madeira Island. We tried many different techniques — while I did the heavier jigging, he set my girlfriend up with a less physical deadbait rig. We had a great time and caught a lot of fish. You don’t need any experience. Ricardo and his deckhand Justin teach you patiently and with real enthusiasm, and they know exactly where to put you on the fish. Highly recommended for anyone, beginner or experienced. Best captain we’ve had! Once again, thank you Ricardo and Justin! All the best!
Bob once again i can not thank you enough for your words and for the time we spent on the water! You and Demi where amazing company and and it makes a trip like this not even look like it is work for me wich is amazing and a true joy😊 Hope everything is great with you two! kindest regards Ricardo Santos
Had such a great time out fishing with Ricardo and Justin today. Both really lovely, friendly, chatty guys — perfect English and clearly knew their stuff. Ricardo was the main guy with Justin helping out, and they were happy to answer all my questions about Madeira (and I had a lot!). There were drinks on board - water, coke, ice tea, beer! We caught red snapper and amber jack, which we have brought home to BBQ this evening — amazing. 3 hours flew by, scenery was gorgeous the whole time. Can't recommend Ricardo and Justin enough, would 100% book again!
Ricardo and his crew mate are superb with vast experience to put you on fish. We caught a wide veriety of fish including island grouper, snappa, trigger fish and more but the biggest surprise of all was a 120lbs giant tuna. This was totally unexpeted and some fight on the light tackle. What an experience! Ricardo is totally in tune with the sea and nature with a wealth of knowledge. It was a pleasure to spend the day with the guys as they clearly enjoy fishing every bit as us. Would highly recomend. Billy & Oliver
Thank you so much for the great review Billy and the whole time we spent together ! It was a true joy to share this day with you and Ollie and what a day it was! Ollie beeing the Island grouper master and you with the beatifull Yellowfin Tuna caught while Popping for them and to be able to witness the massive topwater hit leaving a ball the size of car in the ocean it was the cherry on top of the cake and a true landmark for madeiran waters since you can count how many managed to catch a yellowfin tuna this size popping in Madeira! What a day ! These are the days we love to wake up to and what makes this sport such passion for us sports fisherman! Can't thank you enough! Kindest regards Ricardo Santos
Première expérience de pêche en mer. Je suis plus qu'heureux d'avoir été accompagné par Ricardo et son frère, un binôme extrêmement bienveillant, accueillant et toujours prêt à enseigner les différentes techniques de pêche ! Les débutants sont clairement bienvenus. Tout a été fait pour faire de cette première une réussite : poissons aux rendez vous (dont un thon à nageoire jaune comme première prise !) ! Si je reviens à Madère, je rebookerai sans hésiter avec ce capitaine.
Thank you so much Sébastien! It was a joy to have you aboard with us on what was a very good day of fishing ! To go fishing from the sea and your first catch to be a Yellowfin Tuna you can considerate yourself a very lucky man 😁😁 Plus the snappers you and Ambroise caught and Ambroises dusky grouper made for a very good variety on that day! Kindest regards Ricardo Santos
Thank you, thank you, and thank you again! Ricardo is the perfect guide! He is passionate, very skilled, and truly kind. We had an amazing time on a beautiful boat with excellent fishing equipment. I was with three friends who had never fished before, and Ricardo adapted to each of us. We also caught plenty of fish! Thank you again! To anyone thinking about booking a trip: go for it with complete confidence. You won’t regret it!
