Aqua Fishing Charters 

We had an absolutely fantastic day fishing with Aqua Fishing Charters, Josué and his son. From the very beginning, they were incredibly friendly, professional and knowledgeable. They took the time to explain everything in detail, shared a lot of their experience with us and made the whole trip both exciting and enjoyable. You can really tell that they know these waters and are passionate about fishing. The absolute highlight of the day was catching a White Marlin — an unforgettable experience and a fish I will definitely remember for the rest of my life! A huge thank you to Josué and his son for making this such a special day. Great people, great knowledge and a fantastic fishing experience. Highly recommended! We would definitely fish with Aqua Fishing Charters again! 🎣

If you’re in the Algarve and want some proper reef fishing, you’ve got to book with Áqua. I’ve done a few charters before, but this was easily the highlight of my trip. The energy was great from the start and, more importantly, we actually caught fish! Captain Josué really knows his stuff. He took us straight to the best spots and we were getting bites all day. I managed to land a massive 4kg pargo which was the highlight, but we had plenty of other quality catches too. Josué keeps it fun, relaxed, and knows exactly how to find the fish. Already looking forward to the next one aboard Áqua. Cheers guys!

We had a fantastic day out fishing with Captain Josué. The boat is spacious and very comfortable, with plenty of room for everyone to relax and enjoy the trip. The absolute highlight was watching our son catch and land his own fish. He was completely thrilled and hasn’t stopped talking about it since! Captain Josué was professional, welcoming, and incredibly patient with the kids. We had an unforgettable time and would highly recommend this charter to any family looking for a memorable fishing experience in Tavira.

Absolutely incredible day with Captain Josué and the crew on Áqua. We came hoping to experience Giant Bluefin Tuna fishing and it turned into one of those days you never forget. Seeing a giant tuna up close after an incredible fight was something else. The crew were fantastic from start to finish, professional, friendly and clearly passionate about what they do. If you’re looking for a serious Bluefin experience in the Algarve, this is the boat to book. We’d do it again in a heartbeat.

From the first drop, we were straight into fish and it didn’t stop. It was honestly a lot of fun the whole time. Captain Josué clearly knows exactly where to go and how to keep you on them. As filled three boxes by the end, which says everything about the consistency and experience. You’re not just catching fish, you’re learning throughout the trip without even realizing it. If you’re thinking about it, just book it.You won´t find better.

We had a great experience with Josue since I contacted him, and even before the reservation. I reached out asking about certain big-game-fish and expressing my interest, Josue was very especific since the beginning about what fish was possible to find and which we would not find (what I was looking for was out of reach). The fact that he said he could not take me to fish what I wanted because it was not the season for it, to me was a sign of both trust and knowledge. This made me ask about what type of fish was available in the season I would be in town for, and since it was our first time, we booked a three-person fishing trip for a Sunday morning. He was incredibly responsive by the app, then, in-person him and his son were kind, fun, knowledgeable, patient, and we had a great time. We will be coming back in July to catch the type of fish I was originally looking for. The trip was personal, private, genuine, easy, and fun. I highly recommend them!

If you are looking for the best fishing experience in the Algarve, look no further than this. My son and I just spent five hours out on the water with the captain and his son William, and it was hands down one of the best days of our entire holiday. From the moment we stepped on board, the atmosphere was warm, relaxed, and completely professional. Both English was outstanding - clear, friendly, and genuinely engaging throughout the whole trip. We never felt lost or left out for a single moment. Now for the numbers: 81 fish in five hours. Yes, really. I would not have believed it myself if I had not been there pulling them in alongside my son. But what truly set this experience apart was the passion these guys bring to what they do. For every single species we caught, he gave us recipes - actual, practical cooking tips on how to prepare each fish properly. That kind of knowledge and enthusiasm is rare and made the whole trip feel like so much more than just fishing. Highest possible recommendation.

Let me start out by saying the crew and Captain are excellent and have a good understanding of local conditions. The day started out slow but as the Captain had said the bite picked up in the afternoon. We have 3 strikes but only one Tuna was finally landed. Great experience over all and definitely do this again.

We spent a lovely morning in the company of Josue and his son. He was clearly very experienced and enthusiastic, and my kids ages 13 and 10 really enjoyed it. Lovely sea bream and mackerel for dinner too! Would love to do it again if we come back to the Algarve. Recommended! 👍🐠🛥️👌🏻

What an amazing day! We caught a very large Tuna (maybe 2.7m and 300 kg) with the great help of the captain and crew. It’s was very exciting and thrilling. The crew were very friendly, knowledgeable and helpful. Clearly, they are genuinely interested in and skilled in fishing. We had a very memorable day.
