Booked a Half day trip in September and the contact with Ricardo was nice and easy. Went out with skippers Sergio and Andre and it was one of the best fishing experiences we’ve ever had.

The fishing started off slow at sunrise with only a few small snapper, grouper and mackerel caught. The crew had plenty of spots to try however and the day picked up when I caught a monster stingray. Something Sergio said had only happened 4 or 5 times in his fishing career.  We eventually found the bigger fish and we were lucky enough to catch some Barracuda, Amberjack and large snapper.

The crew seemed a bit disappointed and apologetic saying it was an unlucky and slow day. However we were ecstatic with the fish we landed. Overall we caught 15 fish and plenty of different species so if that’s a slow day we’re looking forward to our next trip! Our highlights were an 8kg Barra and 11kg Amberjack.

We would definitely recommend a trip with these guys as you’ll have memories that last a lifetime.

Preparing live squids before the trip and even having a live-bait tank in the boat is one of the biggest highlights of this trip.  They are equipped with the best fishing gear you can buy in the market, no exaggeration it’s Shinano Stella.
They know the Ocean and how to chase the fish.  I had 3 hook up with live squid but unfortunately lost it.  Overall, 4 Barracudas, 1 Snapper and some little Dorados in half day tour. 
The tour should’ve finished at 11:00am but we kept fishing until 11:30 because we were having good signals on the fish finder.  Great hospitality.  Couldn’t catch an Amberjack I expected but that’s fishing.

Going to off shore lure fishing once a week, I wanted to try lure fishing rather than trolling, so I booked a half-day fishing trip at Madeira Sight Casting. Jigging and casting was my preference, which they are professional with.
Since Captain Ricardo and assistant Andre know good point, and how to fish at that point, I was able to catch some snappers. Next time, I would want to try some fishing style which is common in my country (Japan) with my own fishing tackle. I think if you are experienced enough, this is the best boat in Madeira to jump on to.

Thanks for the great time!!!

Me, being an active sports fisherman but mostly lake and inshore, booked a trip with my family together with Madeira Sight casting. And I am beyond thankful for that!

We were 3 people fishing, with some experience to no knowledge of this kind of fishing at all, and had an absolute epic day!

The skills these guys have with everything from knowing where to find the fish, and then of course how to catch the fish, is just fantastic.
Combine this with Ricardo and Andre teaching us the right technique on how to hook the fish, and equally important work the fish, we all got a fantastic fishing experience. We got a lot of red snappers and also an amberjack with a fight to remember for a lifetime!

Thank you guys, for not only the experience, but also the passion you have for the fishing!

Ricardo picked me up at the hotel at 06:10 am and took me to the harbour where his partner Sergio and Andre were waiting with some fresh bait caught that night. Fishing was amazing and Sergei and Andre could not have been nicer and more professional. I thoroughly enjoyed the morning and can warmly recommend MadeiraSightFishing.
