A brilliant day fishing!
6 Hour – Algarve Jigging (5 Max) on August 25, 2025 • 2 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.

Great trip for beginners and more leisurely minded fishers
4 Hour Trip – Bottom Fishing (AM) on July 21, 2025 • 6 adults
Easy and fun activity with virtually guaranteed catch. Helpful crew under captain Miguel's supervision. The four hour trip allowed for 2.5 hours of fishing which was adequate to get a feel for this type of fishing and catch numerous fish of different species. Predominantly smaller sizes. Very easy technique and no requirements on previous experience. Please note that you are expected to manage the baiting by yourself, which means fingering pieces of shrimp and squid. If you have four hours to spare try this out!

1st time fishing
4 Hour Trip – Bottom Fishing (PM) on September 16, 2025 • 3 adults
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.
