It features twin 300 HP Perkins engines, a flybridge, outriggers, a fighting chair, a livewell and an ice-box.

Madeira waters are famous for all kinds of Marlin, as well as Tuna, Mahi, Wahoo, and Sailfish. The trips usually take place 2 to 5 miles from the coast. In addition to the aforementioned deep-sea species, you’ll also get to target the likes of Amberjack, and Snapper, depending on the fishing location and your preferences.
You’ll be supplied with top-tier fishing gear, mostly by Shimano and lures. Fishing licenses are included. Just bring some sunscreen and sunglasses, and Madeira Marlin Charters will take care of everything else.
Join them on the water and let them create your next favorite memory!
