Capt Miguel and crew were amazing, fun guys, friendly and great atmosphere onboard the entire trip. The boat was a very clean and comfortable Rodman Flybridge, an awesome fishing vessel with a good hull for smaller groups which is exactly what you need off the coast of the Algarve. Genuinely the best fishing trip we have had while visiting and will be back for more without doubt. Don't hesitate, book yhr Domzela now!

We went shark fishing and I caught a 2m shark! We booked another shorter trip with more of the family and we all caught fish. Kids loved it. Capt Miguel and his first mate were so helpful and knowledgable and made everyone feel so welcome! We will be back next summer!!
Thank you so much, David, for your fantastic review and for choosing to fish with us not just once, but twice during your holiday! It was a real pleasure having you and your family on board. We're delighted everyone had a great time, especially the kids, and congratulations again on your impressive 2m shark! Thank you for your kind words about our crew—it truly means a lot to us. We can't wait to welcome you all back next summer for more unforgettable fishing adventures. Tight lines! Alvor Fishing Donzela Team
My partner and I went out for a 4 hour, bottom fishing trip. My partner is a experienced fisherman but this was my first time. It was just us 2, so private and relaxed. I caught my first fish and had a blast. Miguel, the captain, and his brother were patient and we had some good conversation. The fishing was a little slow (due to water conditions) BUT they still put in effort to make sure we had fun and caught some fish.
Hello Savannah! 😊 Thank you so much for your wonderful review and kind words! We're very happy to hear that you had a great time on our fishing trip and were able to enjoy a relaxed and fun experience. It's always a pleasure to welcome first-time anglers and help make their experience a special one. We'll be sure to pass your compliments on to Miguel and his brother — they'll be delighted to know they helped make your day memorable! 🎣 We hope to see you again soon for more adventures at sea. Best regards, The Alvor Fishing Donzela Team
Although we were not extremely lucky with the fish, we caught a few small ones, the captain and crew were extremely instructive and patient with very good humor and very nice. Made the trip very enjoyable.
Dear Fouad, Thank you very much for your kind review and recommendation. We really appreciate your feedback. Although the fish were not very active that day, we're happy you still caught a few and, most importantly, enjoyed the experience. It means a lot to us that you appreciated our patience, guidance, and good humor. We hope to welcome you back to Alvor Fishing Donzela for another trip with even more fish next time! Tight lines! 🎣
