Fishing in Madeira
Madeira is hands down one of the best places in the world to go fishing. Located some 500 miles off the coast of Morocco, this Portuguese island features in bucket lists for gander Blue Marlin fishing all over the internet. Madeira fishing, quite simply, is epic.
What makes fishing in Madeira so great? For starters, the fish get really big. Blue Marlin aside, everything from Bigeye Tuna to Bluefish hit incredible sizes here. You don’t have to travel far to find them, either. Even on a half day trip, you have plenty of time to turn your arms to jelly. And if you’re just out for a fun day at sea and a few fish to show for it, you can catch a boatload of delicious table fare with the dramatic cliffs of Madeira as your backdrop. There’s something for everyone on “the Pearl of the Atlantic'.”
Types of Fishing
Offshore
The big game fishing Madeira is famous for draws in the world's top sportfishers. The seafloor drops almost vertically from beach to bedrock, so you can catch bluewater species just a couple of miles from land. And there are plenty to choose from. Blue and White Marlin, Bluefin, Albacore, and Bigeye Tuna, Longbill Spearfish, Mahi Mahi, and Wahoo all show up over the course of the year.
May through October is the peak Billfish season. Show up in September, and you can catch the full range of big game species on offer here. But you can catch huge Wahoo even in the middle of winter and Albacore live here all year round. There’s never a bad time to fish offshore in Madeira.
Nearshore
There’s never a bad time to fish the reefs, either! Huge Snappers are reeled in every month of the year, and resident Amberjack hit incredible sizes on the island’s deep-water reefs. Grouper, are always around, too, although they’re not nearly as common as Snappers. If you want to add some extra fight to your day, monster Bluefish hunt around the island’s rocky nearshore waters.
From Shore
More interested in variety than size? Shore fishing in Madeira can be a great way to bag a variety of fish. You can hook Bluefish and Barracuda from shore in many spots, alongside weird and wonderful species like Ornate Wrasse and Canary Damselfish. If you’re fishing from the rocks on Madeira’s north shore, you should watch out for the high winds and swells that batter the island during much of the year.
Fishing Techniques
Madeira Marlin fishing focuses almost exclusively on trolling. Fast-trolling with lures is the most popular tactic here as it lets you cover more ground on the hunt for big fish. Most boats use heavy trolling rods and reels, hoping for the island’s next grander. You can sometimes find kites flying above bigger boats, especially when they’re targeting big Tunas.
Up for something with a bit more finesse? There are a few specialist charter companies which offer everything from saltwater fly fishing for White Marlin, Tuna, and Almaco Jacks to spinning and popping for monster Bluefish. You won’t find much finesse on bottom fishing trips, though. Not with the size that Amberjack and Snapper reach here!
If you’re fishing from shore, you can pick up great baits at the local fish market. If you prefer artificial baits, be careful–Pufferfish can and will take a chunk out of anything that comes their way, so leave your favorite soft plastics in the box.
Need to Know
Getting there
Most charters operate out of the region’s capital, Funchal, or the beach resort of Calheta, a 40-minute drive up the coast. Flights from London take around 4 hours and can cost as little as €110 return, even in the middle of Marlin season. Flights from Lisbon take less than half that and cost about the same. You can get direct flights from cities all over Europe, but you’ll need to change in London if you’re flying from the US.
Budget
Madeira fishing prices vary greatly depending on the style of angling you’re after. A half day on the nearshore reefs will bag you a ton of tasty fish for around €350-400. Full day trips targeting Marlin, Tuna, and other deep sea species cost anywhere from €1000-1300. Boats vary from center console-style vessels to large sportfishers with outriggers, tuna tubes, fighting chairs–the works. If you’re looking to land a grander Marlin, it’s well worth the extra money to get a good boat.
Rules & Regulations
Anglers planning on fishing from shore will need to buy a Sport Fishing License (Licença de Pesca Desportiva) before they can even think about making a cast. Get these by contacting the Ministry of Agriculture and Fisheries. By all accounts, this can be a bit of a nightmare as a foreigner. The good news is that you don’t need a license to fish aboard Madeira fishing charters, as you will be covered by the boat’s operating license.
Madeira is the ultimate island escape. Stunning scenery and great weather meet deep waters and some of the world’s best sportfishing. This is a popular vacation spot for people in Europe, even without the angling. Throw in the chance of a grander Marlin or a record Amberjack, and you wonder why you’d go anywhere else!

The fishing trip on Flipper 2 was excellent. Could not recommend it any more enthusiastically.
Practical tips before your trip - Bring change for the metered parking at Calheta Marina and we would not recommend using the Calheta Marina ATM which offers a really poor exchange rate. Get any cash you need before you arrive at the Marina.

You can try everything you like. The captains always will ask you what you want to fish and how. I have chosen trolling but there is also bottom fishing,...
We rent an appartement near the harbour. So it was an easy walk in the morning (5 minutes)to the boat. And as you leave very early in the morning you can get breakfast at the harbour promenade. There is a nice Cafe which was open at 8 when I arrived.

To trust Gavito's crew and you are in for a great experience. Do take lots of sunblock and maybe a book to read whilst resting a bit in the cabin during the intense midday sunny periods. Stay close to the fishing chair so you will be prepared when you get a bite. Train your hand for some tough reeling in when the fish is on the hook!!

It depends on their experience. It also depends on whether you are solo or in a group. Even inexperienced anglers can try for 1000 lb Marlin.!! We all have to start somewhere. In the end it is down to personal choice. Go with Gavito and Graham Venters and you can try both big game and bottom fishing all in one day.!!

Flipper 11 is a very clean and tidy boat. Top quality, tackle and equipment, kept in good condition. On boarding you receive, a (not often experienced) quick chat explaining the layout of the boat and itโs safety features and equipment, I found this comforting and reassuring. These guys know what theyโre doing. Nothing is too much trouble, we got very well looked after, had a fantastic day and looking forward to going out with them again.

My 14 year old son and I went on his first fishing trip this Christmas and it was a huge success. Our Captain certainly knew where the fish were and are we managed to lad a 45 - 50kg. Amberjack,...but it took a while. We lost another one about the same size but also caught a 5kg. Red Snapper which we cooked for lunch - DELICIOUS !!. I would highly recommend this trip for both experienced fisherman as well as beginners. ENJOY !!!

We will definitely be back to the island and trying for some fish with Victor.

Captain Victor is worth trusting! The day before my trip, Captain Victor called me and asked about my fishing preferences, asked a bunch on questions. He was prompt to pick me up from my place. And the whole time we were at sea, he was hustling trying to ensure that we catch fish. And we DID! One would say that a lot depends on luck while fishing, Iโd say, 90% knowledge of the local waters and experience of a captain and 10% luck.

Whilst this is nothing against the captain a think its more the design of the boat. as the captain was stood on top driving the mate never said a word. There was not much conversation able to happen where its nice to chat to the captain about fish n fishing even the area. although that's nothing against the trip as that was excellent

BIG FISH!!!!!
Lovely couple very easy to get along with, I couldn't ask for a better crew. Great hospitality and worked hard to catch us 3 big tuna in 1 day for all 3 of us, one weighing up to 250lb. With a few dolphins here and there to break up the time between bites. All round an amazing trip, flipper 2 smashed it.

Flipper 11 is a very clean and tidy boat. Top quality, tackle and equipment, kept in good condition. On boarding you receive, a (not often experienced) quick chat explaining the layout of the boat and itโs safety features and equipment, I found this comforting and reassuring. These guys know what theyโre doing. Nothing is too much trouble, we got very well looked after, had a fantastic day and looking forward to going out with them again.

Excellent experience from start to finish. Warmly greeted and safety details explained by Neil, which were comprehensive and reassuring. Micky was extremely competent, knowledgeable and friendly. They both went the extra mile to enable us to catch plenty of fish.
Highly recommended and would definitely return.

My 14 year old son and I went on his first fishing trip this Christmas and it was a huge success. Our Captain certainly knew where the fish were and are we managed to lad a 45 - 50kg. Amberjack,...but it took a while. We lost another one about the same size but also caught a 5kg. Red Snapper which we cooked for lunch - DELICIOUS !!. I would highly recommend this trip for both experienced fisherman as well as beginners. ENJOY !!!

Fantastic crew well set up boat, really great day out. Went fishing in November we werenโt expecting to see a lot of game fish but landed two bigeye tuna which was a great result. Thanks to Solomon, Nelson and the crew.

5 stars to the crew. They made for a wonderful day and the icing on the cake was they spotted a wounded sea turtle and rescued and dropped off on way back in at the local marine biology center to rehabilitate her. Highly recommended!

Had a fantastic afternoon with captain Victor on his boat.
Unfortunately the fish were not biting but victor tried so hard to find us some fish.
We will definitely be back to the island and trying for some fish with Victor.
Many Thanks

Canโt recommend Micky & Neil enough - have known them for 10+ years and trips with them are always the very best from Knowledge, Advice, Fun, and always being on the Huntโฆ extremely good value too, really no-one comes close to them - first ever Trigger, Snapper and Grouper - the hunt for big game goes on - until next yearโฆ!

Der angeltrip war sehr schรถn. Die Crew hat sich sehr bemรผht und war sehr freundlich. Das Wetter war sehr gut und wir hatten auch mehrere gute Fische an der Oberflรคche ausmachen kรถnnen, aber trotz groรem Engagement der Crew, ging kein Fisch an den Haken, aber so ist Angeln. Ich kann jeden Angler diesen Trip empfehlen. Kapitรคn Adrian spricht auรerdem gut deutsch.
Ich werde auf alle Fรคlle wiederkommen!
