Last year I had the pleasure of meeting Captain Josué and joined him for a fantastic bottom fishing trip around Tavira. It was one of those experiences that stays in your memory: great fishing, relaxed atmosphere, and a captain who clearly knows these waters inside out.
This year I noticed he had upgraded to a new boat, the Áqua X, so I decided to book another trip, this time for three fishing sessions. Honestly, I was amazed by this boat from the moment I stepped onboard. The fishing space is enormous compared to most charter boats, making it incredibly comfortable for serious fishing without feeling crowded at all.
The Áqua X feels extremely stable, safe, and very well equipped. Everything onboard is organized professionally, but the atmosphere remains friendly and relaxed. Captain Josué once again proved why people keep coming back: constant action, excellent spots, and a real passion for fishing.
The combination of Captain Josué’s experience and the new Áqua X makes this one of the best fishing experiences you can have in Tavira. Highly recommended, and I will definitely return again.

We had a fantastic offshore fishing trip with Captain Josué and Guilherme, targeting and catching beautiful dorados. They were friendly, knowledgeable, and went above and beyond to ensure everyone had an unforgettable day on the water. Their local expertise put us right on the fish, and their enthusiasm made the whole experience even more enjoyable.

The drinks were excellent, and the snacks were absolutely spectacular. Whether you’re an experienced angler or trying offshore fishing for the first time, you’re in excellent hands. The trip was professional, safe, and great fun from beginning to end, with the highlight being the exciting dorado action.

Highly recommended. We’ll definitely be back!

I’ve fished in Spain, Ireland, and the UK, and this trip ranks among the very best.
The Aqua is a solid, comfortable boat and perfectly set up for big game fishing. Captain Josué worked hard throughout the day, constantly searching for fish and making the most of every opportunity. His knowledge and experience were evident from start to finish.
The highlight of the trip was hooking into a magnificent Bluefin Tuna. The fight was intense and unforgettable, with the fish showing incredible power. Bringing it alongside the boat was a real achievement and a moment we’ll remember for years to come.
What impressed me most was the respect shown for the fish. After a quick photo, the tuna was carefully released in excellent condition and swam away strongly. Witnessing such a powerful fish return to the ocean was every bit as rewarding as the catch itself.
Captain Josué and Guilherme were not only highly professional but also genuinely friendly and attentive throughout the trip. They took the time to explain everything, made sure everyone was comfortable, and were clearly committed to giving us the best possible experience. Their passion for fishing and their positive attitude made us feel more like friends on board than customers.
Highly recommended, and I’ll certainly be returning to fish with Captain Josué and Guilherme again.

Captain Josué is the real deal. His knowledge of Bluefin Tuna, attention to detail, and determination gave us complete confidence throughout the trip. The crew worked tirelessly all day, constantly adapting their strategy until we finally hooked an incredible Bluefin.

The fight was unforgettable, with top quality equipment and expert guidance from start to finish. What made the experience even more special was seeing the fish safely released after a successful catch, showing the crew’s commitment to sustainable sport fishing and respect for these magnificent fish.

Professional, friendly, and highly experienced. If you’re looking for a true Big Game fishing experience in the Algarve, this is the boat to book. We’ll definitely be back.
