August fishing trip
Half Day Trip – Reef Fishing on August 25, 2026
We had a perfect morning! Although this was my third time sea fishing, it was definitely the most successful trip I've ever had, and I was so happy with our catch. Artur and Brunowas incredibly patient and did a wonderful job teaching and guiding my 5-year-old son. Ever since we finished the trip, my son hasn't stopped asking when we can go fishing again! They was also extremely professional, warm and welcoming, and everything was very thoughtfully prepared and well organised. We had such a fantastic experience and will definitely be back!

BEST BIG GAME FISHING TRIP IN ALGARVE!! Highly recommended!
SHARK FISHING - Half day trip on August 12, 2026
From the beginning till the end, we had an amazing time. Both crew members were amazing friendly, helpfull and truly are professionals about big game fishing. My brother, nephew of 10 and I, went the 3 of us and the whole trip, they were amazing hosts.. supplied us with a lot of great sandwhiches and other food plus enough drinks/beers etc.. Both guys are amazing friendly, helpfull with everything about how to use the material and also a lot great stories about their own experience. During our almost 6 hours trip, we catched 3 sharks and saw so many other fishes, dophins and also a huge shark of almost 3 meters coming towards our boat.. unfortunately it changed path due to the dophins but again, we catched what we came for and they truly educated us a lot about fishing and about their own catches.. Really professional guys that do this just because they love it and not just for money... If you are looking to have an amazing trip with everything included for also an amazing price, I trully recommended booking with them! Promise you wont regret and next time I definitely coming back to catch this 3 meter blue shark haha.. Thanks for everything guys, was the best trip I haven been! See you next time, Abraco Ernest

5 hour trip with captain Arthur Venancio and his crew
SHARK FISHING - Half day trip on August 2, 2026
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ An Unforgettable Fishing Adventure! What an incredible day on the water! From the moment we left the harbor, the crew made us feel welcome and created an amazing atmosphere. They were professional, friendly, and clearly passionate about fishing. The action was unbelievable. We landed three blue sharks, including one that was so massive it couldn't even fit into the boat! We also caught a stingray, and on top of that, we had two more sharks on the line that unfortunately got away—which only added to the excitement of the day. Between the shark action, we had some great conversations with the crew and even spent some time jigging for mackerel, making the whole experience even more enjoyable and varied. This trip was the perfect mix of adrenaline, adventure, and great company. If you're looking for an unforgettable fishing experience with an amazing crew, this is the trip to book. We couldn't have asked for a better day and would absolutely do it again. Highly recommended – 5 stars without a doubt!

Great Crew! Great Boat! Great catch!
Half Day Trip – Reef Fishing on July 20, 2026 • 4 adults • 1 child
We had a great time and fishing experience! Our Team my best mate with his son and my son and me, with no fishing skills, had the best team aside with Artur and Noah, who are very professional skilled fishermen taking time to teach and explain. They are super friendly showing the kinds how to fish, making it for them a life time experience they would never forget. Even when my son went slightly sea sick at the beginning, Noah gave him a pill which in minutes make him feel better and he could catch a lot of fish! Awesome! We had a great time on board with snacks and delicious Natas, a variety of drinks on board of the Mariola! Noah prepared a little sashimi with a Carapau we just caught, incredible delicious! We wish Captain Artur and Chief Mate Noah all the best, thanking them for their time! Looking forward to the next trip! Thank you!

Brilliant Day... We caught a Blue Shark...
SHARK FISHING - Half day trip on July 2, 2026
We had a brilliant day, thanks to Arthur and Noam... E headed out to a spot and set 4 rids in the water for sharks... Put the chum in the water... within a few minutes we were pulling in lots.of Mackeral... All good to attract the sharks... The Mackeral left and no sharks... We kept drifting and Arthur and Noam kept adding sardines oil etc to the water... My son then caught a bunch of Needle fish which he enjoyed, we saw a few huge Tuna Fish breaching close by... Then after a while and another bag.of chum added.to the water my son reeled in a Blue Shark...!! We were delighted. It was a small female about 20kg, 6 ft long... Thanks to Arthur who never gave up and kept doing little things to help catch the Shark. What an amazing day... Arthur really knows what he is doing... He has lots.of experience and is a lovely guy... I would deffo recommend him as he just loves fishing for anything and he really knows his stuff... 👍
