Be prepared for wind and waves. If you are accustomed to inland lake conditions I would recommend that you take motion sickness medication prior to leaving the dock and stay out on deck whenever possible.

My initial review in retrospect was too harsh.I can say that at this time of year fishing was very slow.Maybe I should have booked a full day but I didn't know.The boat ,the captain and first mate were excellent and I would recommend them.I guess with only one trip I can't fairly judge the fishing opportunities.i would book again with Adriano.

Keep in mind that it is fishing. There is no guarantee that you might catch something, or catch what you expected on forehand. The fish might be somewhere else then where you are.

Big game can be hit or miss depending on which whales are around the islands.
Inshore fishing is basically a sure thing and the landscape vistas are top notch.
Well worth the experience

Book a trip with an experienced captain, like Mr. Furtado. Knowing the fish and the spots is key everywhere.

Really enjoyed the morning, Capt Pedro is very experienced and knows the best spots in the area. Catched a few barracudas (whilst trolling), then groupers, bream and other fish whilst deep sea fishing). Thank you Captain Pedro

Fishing with a real local fisherman, authentic traditional boat and fishing methods. My child and I had a great time and the captain was friendly and helpful. As a bonus we saw dolphins.

Had a wonderful coastal fishing trip with Adriano and his crew! Seas were a little rough making trolling unsuccessful but Adriano and Paulo took us to the jigging hot spots where we were catching fish after fish! Highly recommend this trip to anyone visiting the island!

Captain Pedro went above and beyond to try to catch a Tuna as part of the big game option and stayed a little extra long on the water because bait fish started jumping like crazy at the end of our trip. Highly recommend this trip. We had a blast even though we didn't reel a big tuna!

We went on a halfday trip with Adriano. We went trolling while we were heading to the bottom fishing spots. While trolling we caught 7 nice barracudas. When we reached the the bottom fishing spots the fishinggear got switched and we started fishing. We caught a lot of different species with some big triggerfish, seabream and blacktail comber. Adriano knows where to find the fish and we ended up catching a lot. I would definitely recommend to go fishing with Adriano, we had a wonderful day!

I booked this trip to experience some traditional fisheries from the Azores and Leo provided exactly that. We caught lots of squid and fish and Leo is a very patient and knowledgeable guide.

Great captain and mate. Capt. Pedro tries herd to find the tuna and takes pride in his work. Well kept vessel and gear. Hopefully next time the tuna are more cooperative.
Thanks again for the conversations .

Pedro and his mate were very communicative and tried their bests.
Unfortunately the big fish were too deep.
Next time we would try it from july on the earliest.

A large and comfortable boat with a friendly and knowledgeable crew. We did not catch any fish but it was not from a lack of trying. There is communication between both charter and commercial fishing boats and the tuna were not biting. If you are going to be disappointed if you don’t catch fish the near shore fishing may be the more appropriate trip.

A honest review. A well organized trip with experienced fisherman. We specifically asked to fish for squids and they came prepared and made sure that we caught them. Also shared their secret on how to cook squids properly. It is really nice that in this island you can find cooking places everywhere and after the fishing you can drive and cook you fish wherever you want:) I rate the experience 10/10

Our group of 4 had an amazing experience fishing with Captain Jorge and 1st mate Vasco. We caught lots of fish, including a few double headers! We caught 3 varieties of bottom fish. The crew were very accommodating with ensuring the reels accommodated our reeling preferences, baiting and taking fish off hooks too. If the fish are biting they know where to find them!!

Pedro was the perfect captain for our fishing trip. He was attentive, professional, and even prepared our fish for cooking. The equipment was excellent, and we also learned a lot about the beautiful region. Thank you again!

Started out as a 4 hour costal fishing trip that turned into a 4 hour big game trip. Captain Jorge looked at wind and wave conditions as well as local fishing knowledge to put us on bigeye tuna. We managed to catch 3 tuna on our trip. Great day with Jorge and his mate.

The crew were excellent and really went out of their way to ensure we were comfortable. We chased the fish for 3 hours and just as it seemed it would be a blank day we hooked 2 at the same time! We couldn’t be happier. This was a bucket list day.Paul & Clare 😃
