    (4 Hour Trip – White Marlin)

    Awesome time fishing in the Algrave

    We had a great time fishing with Captian Joao. We did the 4hr marlin fishing trip and had four marlin bites and were able to reel 2 in. We also brought in a skipjack. Great time out on the water! 🎣

    (8 Hour Trip)

    Great Time - Highly Recommend

    Capt. Jairo and his crew(Pablo & Neymar) do a great job. They are very friendly, provide all the right gear and work tirelessly to improve your chances of catching fish. While other boats were struggling to land fish, we caught 8 Bonito and they even helped my son land a White Marlin.. I highly recommend them and will for sure be going out with them the next time in Aruba

    (Full Day Trip – Big Game Fishing)

    Solid trip

    Captain and mate Augustin were top tier. Classic 38 Betram with plenty of space. Tough 2 days looking for Marlin but Captain put us on some nice Big Eye tuna. Would fish with again.

    (Full Day – Offshore)

    Epic Day of Gamefishing

    This was our second trip with Capt BC. This trip we brought a sailfish and white marlin to the boat and over 40 mahi in the fishbox. Captain BC is dedicated to a great experience and his mate was on top of it all day. The boat and equipment are all top notch. Thanks for another great trip. We will definately book with them on the next trip.

White Marlin fishing is all about speed, finesse, and excitement. This Billfish is smaller than its cousins, but it hits hard, runs fast, and puts on wild aerial shows. Anglers target it for the light tackle challenge and the chance to test quick reflexes. Many crews also practice careful catch and release to keep this prized sport fish thriving.

You will usually target White Marlin while offshore or bluewater fishing. Captains often troll at moderate speeds with rigged ballyhoo, strip baits, or small skirted lures. Teasers raise fish close to the boat, then a “pitch bait” seals the deal. Fly fishing is possible when a teased Marlin is in range. Crews commonly use circle hooks to improve hookups and safer releases.

Expect a visual, action-packed day. Strikes are sudden, and the fish may jump many times. Fights can be quick on light tackle, but every run counts. This trip suits anglers who enjoy active fishing and steady teamwork. The crew typically provides rods, reels, and terminal tackle. Bring polarized sunglasses, sunscreen, a hat, non-marking shoes, snacks, and a camera. If you get seasick, consider motion medicine before departure. Hydrate well, listen to the crew, and be ready at the transom when a fish shows.

Rules for White Marlin vary by country and region, and they can change through the year. Before your trip, check local requirements for fishing licenses or permits, as well as season, harvest, and gear rules. Ask your captain about current regulations and best practices for responsible catch and release. Following the rules helps protect this fast, beautiful game fish for future days on the water.
