A brilliant day fishing!
6 Hour – Algarve Jigging (4 Max) on August 25, 20252 adults

My son (15) and I had a brilliant day fishing with Captain Miguel. The launch location was very easy to find and the first thing I noticed was a spotlessly clean and well ordered boat with high quality gear. We were very keen to land red snapper but this was our first time jigging. Miguel was very patient in showing us the technique and when my son lost his first strike, Miguel announced that he does not lose fish. He was true to his word! The boat landed 6 nice fish and I got a tiny mackerel as well. I was not at all disappointed as my son landed two beautiful pargo. My contribution was to clean and cook a really great dinner. A beautiful experience on the ocean. Cannot recommend highly enough.

Absolutely brilliant, best in Algarve
2 Hour Trip – Family Fishing on June 10, 20262 adults

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!
