Fishing in Madeira

Madeira stands as a premier destination for anglers seeking thrilling big-game fishing adventures in the Atlantic. The island's deep, nutrient-rich waters host an extraordinary diversity of pelagic species year-round, including Blue Marlin, Bigeye and Bluefin Tuna, Wahoo, Mahi-mahi, and Swordfish. These powerful predators thrive in Madeira's unique marine ecosystem, with peak seasons offering non-stop action—Marlin dominate summer months, while massive Bluefin Tuna surge through autumn and winter.

The coastline provides varied fishing experiences, from deep-sea trolling near Funchal and Caniçal to dynamic shore jigging at Ponta de São Lourenço. Anglers can also target bottom-dwelling giants like Groupers, Dentex, and Amberjack along the rugged seabed. Private charters, fully licensed and equipped with state-of-the-art gear, leverage local expertise to navigate prime grounds and tailor trips for all skill levels. Crews prioritize safety and conservation, ensuring sustainable practices while maximizing catch opportunities.

Beyond the adrenaline, Madeira’s stunning volcanic landscapes create an unforgettable backdrop. Accessible fishing grounds lie minutes from the marina, blending convenience with world-class angling. Whether battling a trophy Marlin or jigging for Amberjack, the island delivers consistent action across seasons, cementing its reputation as Europe’s elite big-game hub.

Madeira Fishing Seasons

January

Wahoo season ends as the year starts, so head out and bag these bluewater bullets before they move on. Otherwise, there are a ton of different bottom fish to go after.

February

It’s Carnival in Madeira! This week-long festival brings a storm of color and music to the streets of Funchal. There’s plenty of fun on the water, too, with Snappers, Amberjack, and so much more.

March

Bigeye Tuna explode onto the scene in March, kicking off an 8-month season of huge, tasty fish. There are plenty of monsters on the reefs, too, with Grouper, Snapper, Amberjack, and more.

April

The first few Marlin start to show up in April. Head out in search of these monsters, and you could also run into Bigeye and Albacore Tuna. As always, the reefs are full of tasty fish!

May

Blue and White Marlin arrive in huge numbers around Madeira in May, joined by the often-overlooked Longbill Spearfish. If you’re after a Billfish Grand Slam, this is a good time to try.

June

Madeira celebrates these incredible waters with the month-long Atlantic Festival. Enjoy everything from roots and arts events to pyromusical shows. Don’t let it distract you from the ocean itself, though!

July

All over the world, pro sportfishing teams head offshore to take part in the Blue Marlin World Cup. Madeira has won this event more than once in the past. Are you feeling lucky?

August

August is the hottest month of the year in Madeira, so expect the beaches to be busy. There’s plenty of space out at sea, though, if you don’t mind fighting Marlin for it! 

September

Every big game species is biting hard in September. Blue and White Marlin, Bigeye, Albacore, and Bluefin Tuna, Longbill Spearfish, Wahoo, Mahi Mahi–they’re all here and they’re all going crazy!

October

October is your last chance to catch Marlin in Madeira, and the Bigeye Tuna are about to move on, too. Don’t miss your chance–get out there and battle some sea monsters!

November

The Billfish may have moved on, but Wahoo, Albacore, and Bluefin Tuna are still around in force. The reefs never go quiet here, either. Just take your pick and enjoy. 

December

Christmas in Funchal is a wonderland of colorfully-lit streets and seasonal joy. Hit the reefs to catch some delicious bottom fish and bring home a real Christmas feast!
