greatest experience of fishing i have ever had!
4 Hour Trip – Big Game Fishing (AM) on August 5, 20262 adults

I have been on many fishing trips. This one is tops all of them. Adriano and his crew were spectacular! he put us right on the fish! When odds were against, he still delivered! Nicest and most sincere captain and crew that i have ever experienced! I am beyond happy that we crossed paths and will definitely be traveling back to the Azores for some more fishing with Adriano and the Ratinho crew👍🏼

Great Day with Family
4 Hour Trip–Coast Bottom Fishing AM on April 8, 20262 adults

We had a fantastic time on this fishing charter with our two 6-year-olds. The captain and crew were incredibly patient and helpful with the kids, making sure they felt comfortable and involved the whole trip. Even though the weather was a bit rough that day, they did a great job finding calmer water where the fishing was still excellent. We caught some really nice fish, and the kids especially loved line fishing—they had an absolute blast. Highly recommend for families looking for a fun and memorable experience on the water!

It was a perfect big game fishing expirience. First we spotted a school of Mahi-Mahi and hooked one of them. And then a dream fish: blue marlin. Under aprofessional guidnace of captain Adriano we were able to catch and release the fish. Great and smooth big game fishing day! Thanks Andriano and Sofia!

4 Hour Trip–Coast Bottom Fishing PM on August 21, 20264 adults

Adriano was the best captain ever! He was aware we were fishing with children and suggested we go out earlier. He accommodated my kids. We caught 15 fish. We made the best memories. I highly recommend booking this trip if we ever come back; we will do this again!
