My wife and I reserved Madeira Charters as a honeymoon event.
As an experienced, avid fisherman from the U.S., I’m very much aware of the work and preparation.
I’d like to remind all, it’s fishing and not catching! Though my wife and I only caught 5-7 fish, from Red Snapper to rare Barred Hogfish, and tirelessly trolled for Marlin, the focus on clients and learning, is second to none!
We left all our work and worries at home. It’s what fishing should be…take your worries away and relax. However, that can’t happen without an encouraging caption and first mate.
The crew enjoyed teaching and working with my wife and I.
My wife is already encouraging me to plan a return trip for fishing!

I cannot recommend Anders and Claudio enough! I originally booked a morning big game trip but Anders recommended I change to the afternoon slot as the tuna were biting better in the evening. 1 hour into the trip the lures were attacked by the marlin with no hook up . Anders expertly manoeuvred the boat back around and again the fish attacked the left side lures then finally hooked up on the right hand lures . The fish almost stripped the line off the reel on it first adrenaline packed run screaming reels! We got the fish to the boat three times before it dived deep yet again .
3 hours later we finally got it to the boat . Such a magnificent fish ! A lifetime’s ambition achieved. Prime is a comfortable boat with a brilliant crew who worked so hard to get a fish . Highly recommended. Thank you Anders and Claudio👏👏👏👏

We had an amazing fishing trip with Captain Anders and his crew on Prime! Anders responded quickly to all my inquiries before the trip which was good because we ordered a few days in advance. He was very friendly and helpfull. When we arrived the harbor it was a warm welcoming from a professional crew. They started to tell us about the boat and the fishing gear, which was in perfect shape, before we sailed out to the ocean. While we were trolling they told us a lot of stories from their earlier catches while we enjoyed the snacks and drinks on board, which was included in the price. The stories made us very excited. As the sun kissed the horizon the fishing reels howled. After though fights against two big eyed tuna we landed them on board. Thanks to Captain Anders and his crew on Prime for giving us this extraordinary experience. I would recommend them to everyone that wants a good fishing trip experience.

We had combo sport fish and bottom fish excursion. Captain and crew fantastic. Caught 7 nice triggers off bottom and saw a white marlin strike at, but miss, our lure. Will go back again someday! Everyone was so friendly and patient with our first time fisherwomen and fishermen!

It was an amazing day for our family (6 Person). Everything, the crew, the boat, the equipment far exceeded our expectations. We started with 3 hours of bottom fishing with al lot of fish. After that the equipment for big game was tackled. 3 exciting hours of trolling. First mate Claudio and Captain Anders did a great job, also there was a lot of seeweed on the way.  Thank you for the unforgettable day!
