Just go, but be patient so if you can book a whole day to increase your chance on success.

You are in the open water and the wind can be chilly even on a cloudless day. Bring sunscreen & a number of layers that permit flexibility. That said the captain provided us with coats when we were a little cold.

Don't expect to catch a big game first time! I've been 4 times all over the world and still not had my big catch but still pulled up all kinds of colourful fish!! And some big snapper!
A day out on the boat is better than a day not on the boat! Just go and have fun and you may get lucky!
Also check season times, summer is best for certain types of fish so can be hard before the season

Use a local captain. If you can fish with Capt. Anders, do not hesitate to do it. My wife and I stayed at a convenient Airbnb Loft - Madeira - Funchal - Calheta.

We took water and a few snacks. Capt Mike also had snacks on the boat, which we didn't eat because we were fishing the whole time. Have something to take the fish home in--cooler, etc. Also try to fish on a day without wind. Even though we had wind, we still had a fun time fishing.

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.

Yes. The experience was great. The water was flat and we didnt go far offshore so it was an easy, smooth ride.

Prey for good weather.
Book accomodation well in advance. It's very hard to get of your on a budget.

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.

The 4 girls were 11, 12, 12 and 13. They had never been fishing before. They are normally afraid to touch anything different. By the end, all of them were baiting their own hooks, holding the fish to take them off the hooks, cleaning the fish for cooking, and cooking the fish. This was a fantastic thing for them, and the adults were totally relaxed as the crew looked after them perfectly.

Not to worry, the people from Madeira are so helpful. Just take sun cream and a coat as it can get cold at night.

Accurate casting is needed. If you bring own tackle, 20lbs line is needed due to a lot if sunken woods

Bottom-fishing out by the islands is awesome, super-rich with fish. Smaller fish but still very fun.

Hey it's not blue marlin offshore like in the summer but it's fun and consistent action with tasty fish for an incredible price in an unbelievable landscape, you should absolutely do this trip. The guides are top notch, extremely knowledgeable, helpful and a ton of fun. Great taste in music.
