Fish aboard a 26’ Starfisher 840 with a 230 HP Volvo Penta KAMD43P 169kW built in 2002, restored in 2017, and again in 2022. This beauty is ready for blue water battles, with outriggers, downriggers, a fighting chair, and the latest electronics to ensure you find the fish in no time.
The boat can take up to four guests fishing and features a HONDEX HE-773 III-Di sonar and fishfinder, a Humminbird Helix 10 GPS and fishfinder, satellite phone IsatPhone2, all the licenses and safety equipment. The boat also comes with a bed, comfortable seats, bathroom, kitchen with a refrigerator, an ice box, and a multimedia system.
The crew will take you after Blue and White Marlin, Swordfish, Bluefin Tuna, Bigeye Tuna, Mako Shark, Mahi, and others up to 20 miles offshore. The big game season in Algarve opens in June/July and goes until September/October (sometimes later, depending on the weather). This is the only spot in Europe where you can find these species.
