    greatest experience of fishing i have ever had!

    4 Hour Trip – Big Game Fishing (AM) on August 5, 2026 • 2 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👍🏼

    Blue marlin: cached and released

    6 hr Big Game Trip Am on August 16, 2026 • 1 adult

    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, 2026 • 4 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!

    Morning trip

    4 Hour Trip–Coast Bottom Fishing AM on August 17, 2026 • 3 adults • 1 child

    The crew is very professional, know local shores. We have hooked 6 baracudas in 2 hours trolling, plus a few bites, and later had fun catching seabream and garoupas in bottom fishing. The trip went very smooth, highly recommend!

    Great day on the water

    4 Hour Trip–Coast Bottom Fishing AM on June 18, 2025 • 2 adults

    Captain Adriano and his mate worked well as a team to help us land several species of nearshore fish (Grouper, barracuda, triggerfish and sea bream). We went with the combination trolling/bottom fishing 4 hour trip which was recommended by the Captain at that time. They also go out for larger offshore species (Tuna, marlin, etc.) but they can be seasonal so go with what the Captain suggests. He also extended the trip for us so we could catch a large triggerfish (and we did) which we have never tasted before. Upon return we only kept the fish we could eat (filleted) and the rest the Captain gave to people he knows who really appreciate the gift. We highly recommend fishing on the Ratinho and we will certainly go out again when we return to Sao Miguel.

    Adriano and his 1st mate Paulo are incredibly friendly and hard working. they did their best to get us to some fish but time and lady luck were not on our side. saw loads of dolphins and it was a pleasant time on the water. I'd recommend doing a longer charter if you're going for big game like tuna.
