Lots of fun and lots of fish - 4 adults and 1 teenaged boy some without any prior fishing experience.

Adriano and Paul were helpful, knowledgeable and ensured that it was easy for us first timers to fish and have a great time. The “tournament” element of the trip where we were completing to catch the most fish worked well. My son ended up winning and the prize was a tshirt. We were told that it was a particularly good day, and caught 45 fish total. Some were small and thrown back, and some we kept. All of this was great as we wanted to catch fish and have fun rather than go big game fishing. We took 5 of the fish home and ate them for dinner that same night. We didn’t end up having snacks on the boat, but this was fine with us as it was a half day trip morning trip and we ate breakfast before arriving.

Would definitely recommend for a family or group looking to have a fun fishing experience.

We had a 4 hours trip with Adriano and his crew, they where so good a taking care of the kids an ensuring that they had a wonderful time. No doubt we will book them again when we are back at the Azores.

Perfect trip along the coast. We caught fish both trolling and bottom fishing. Overall fantastic experience. Even my 5-year-old son enjoyed the trip and crew :).

A great day out, blessed with fine weather and reasonably calm seas. As soon as we cleared the marina (10 mins.) we were fishing. Costal trolling on the way our to the bottom fishing ground with four rods out but no strikes outward bound. At the rocky outcrop toward mid-voyage we switched to bottom rigs and immediately started hitting the fish. John Melo and his crew mate Milton’s local knowledge and their radar fish finder were instrumental in our success. We caught Grouper of good size, a King fish, a Tiger fish (big, a good rod bender), White Sea Bream (nice size too - ideal for the plate) and another variety that I can’t remember - eighteen in all. On the return trip we re-rigged for trolling back to the marina and under overcast skies and a slight swell we caught a good size Barracuda. A very tidy boat well crewed and good equipment made for an excellent trip - I only get the time to fish when on holiday so this trip was particularly special for me - many thanks to John and Milton. I’ll upload some photo’s when I can.

What great day we had. Adriano was great and new the right place to fish.  In s short 2 hour trip we caught 11 porkfish, 1 grouper (which I think we would have caught more in the spot we were in but wife stated to get sick) and a couple other fish that I wasn’t sure that it was and a few more that we threw back in the ocean.  It was an amazing experience!
