Fishing in Algarve

Discover the Algarve, Portugal's sun-soaked southern coastline, where the Atlantic Ocean offers some of Europe's most exhilarating fishing adventures. This region boasts crystal-clear waters teeming with diverse marine life, making it a premier destination for anglers seeking everything from reef fishing close to shore to epic offshore battles with big game species. Whether you're a novice or seasoned angler, the Algarve delivers unforgettable experiences against a backdrop of dramatic cliffs and golden beaches.

Nearshore waters provide excellent opportunities for light tackle fishing, where species like seabass, bream, and grouper abound. Venture further offshore to target majestic blue marlin, yellowfin tuna, and swordfish in deeper waters. Fishing charters in the Algarve cater to all preferences, supplying top-quality gear and expert guidance while handling licenses and regulations—so you focus solely on the thrill of the catch.

Accessible from key hubs like Albufeira, Portimão, and Tavira, Algarve fishing charters combine adventure with stunning coastal exploration. Year-round mild weather ensures ideal conditions for half-day excursions or extended deep-sea trips. Experience the perfect blend of rich fisheries and breathtaking scenery that solidifies the Algarve as a world-class angling paradise.

Algarve Fishing Seasons

January
What better way to forget about the winter blues than with a holiday? Come to the Algarve where the weather is ideal for exploring, as you get your fish on and work up a sweat to land a warming meal.
February
The big game creatures may not be biting just yet but there’s plenty of action nearshore. Go after delicious Seabass, Seabream, Groupers, Dentex, and many other reef-dwelling beauties to fill the boat.
March
You may be tempted offshore by the rumors of the arrival of Blue Sharks and Swordfish, but your best bet of landing that dream fish is with a nearshore trip to the reefs for the usual suspects.
April
There’s not long to go until the peak fishing season kicks off, so you just about have enough time to practice your skills before the serious fishing starts. Hit the reefs to bottom fish and flex your muscles.
May
Bluefin and Bigeye Tuna start making their way past the Algarve coastline in May, giving you a sign of what’s to come during summer. Head out on a big game adventure and put your strength to the test.
June
While you may feel the heat of the sun blasting down on the Algarve, there’s nothing quite as hot as the fishing. Sharks and Swordfish rub shoulders with the Tuna to keep you on your feet all day long. 
July
Tourists from all over Europe flock to the hillsides and beaches of the Algarve, and for good reason too. Take advantage of the weather and head to sea on a serious offshore sportfishing adventure.
August
Bring the whole family along now that school’s over, and head to the deep waters of the Atlantic in search of the catch of a lifetime. Blue and White Marlin join the offshore party, calling all anglers to sea. 
September
As the crowds start dying down, the fish are at their peak. Come to the Algarve in September and have the waters to yourself, as you go after Marlin, Tuna, Mahi Mahi, Swordfish, Sharks, and even more. 
October
Make the most of your last chance to land a tasty Tuna or monster Marlin as the water starts cooling down with the end of summer. Don’t worry, though, as the nearshore fish are still eagerly biting away.
November
Shift your attention to the reefs as the offshore season comes to an end. Beginners and pros alike can get their fill of delicious Bream, Bass, Dentex, Grouper, and many more, to make the perfect dinner.
December
End the year in style with a holiday on the stunning coastline of southern Portugal. Come to the Algarve and forget all your cares, and even indulge in some exciting nearshore fishing for some tasty fish.
