X Wing offers fishing charters out of Setúbal, Portugal, where you can enjoy fishing the Atlantic Ocean and the Sado River. Come aboard with Captain Nuno Madruga, a local and knowledgeable guide who will show you how to fish these waters!
Step aboard a 25’ Goymar pilothouse powered by a 150 HP Penta Volvo engine. This vessel comes equipped with GPS, Fishfinder, and a live bait well. A private toilet on board caters to your comfort. This boat can carry up to 5 passengers, and children of all ages are welcome.
Capt. Nuno will take you fishing in the Atlantic Ocean and the Sado River Estuary. During summer you can target John Dory, Striped Bream, Seabass, Pandora, and more just 8 miles from shore. If you are more interested in river fishing, Capt. Nuno can take you a few miles further into the Sado River to target some of the same species.
You can also snorkel near the sandbanks for mussels, which can be used as live bait or kept for a delicious dinner. If you find yourself here in winter, you can join Capt. Nuno for a specialized Gilt-head fishing trip.
X Wing provides a fishing license and all fishing equipment including Daiwa BG. You’ll also find snorkeling gear. On your trip, you’ll also enjoy a complimentary lunch and snacks such as sandwiches, fruits, juice, and beer at your request.
Spend your holiday in Setúbal and enjoy fishing with Capt. Nuno!

Half Day Bottom Fishing on September 14, 2024
Great trip for anglers looking to add a lot of new lifetime species. Early morning Uber from Lisbon was a little under 1 hour. Action was pretty non stop for a variety of bottom fish. Not a lot of size but plenty of quantity. Capt Nuno worked hard and has a great attitude. Baits were top notch with fresh clams, shrimp and crabs. Tackle was newer model Daiwa spinning gear with braid. Weather was calm and the fishing area is protected from bigger seas and wind. Caught about 50 fish and added 11 species to lifetime list.

The Skipper and Crew were absolutely amazing and done their all to get us onto the fish, I have fished all my life and know a great skipper when I meet one. His spoken English was also spot on.
