  Best Tuna Fishing Trip in Madeira!

  Full Day Mixed Fishing on September 3, 2026 • 6 adults • 2 children

  Absolutely unforgettable tuna fishing experience in Madeira! If you are looking for the best fishing charter in Madeira, this is the trip to book. Captain Simon is exceptional - highly experienced, professional, friendly, and clearly knows Madeira’s waters incredibly well. From the beginning, we felt we were in the hands of someone who genuinely understands tuna fishing and big-game fishing in Madeira. Howard is a fantastic crew member - energetic, helpful, knowledgeable, and always making sure everyone is comfortable and involved. The atmosphere on the boat was relaxed and fun, while the whole operation remained extremely professional. The boat, equipment, organization, and fishing experience were all excellent. You can tell that Simon and Howard genuinely love what they do and want their guests to have an amazing day at sea. For anyone visiting Madeira and wanting a real tuna fishing, deep-sea fishing, or big-game fishing adventure, I highly recommend Captain Simon and Howard. One of the highlights of our Madeira trip and definitely a fishing charter we would book again. 10/10 – probably the best tuna fishing experience in Madeira!

  Modern boat, quality equipment

  Full Day Big Game Fishing on April 13, 2026 • 1 adult

  Captain Simon and his crew provided a quality service. They gave me quick responses to my questions before the trip, were at the meetup location early and started the charter on time. The boat was clean and spacious, their galley was stocked with cold beverages and snacks. The provided lunch was homemade and very tasty. The fishing rods, reels and lures all were in good condition. While no fishes were caught during the trip, its was not for a lack of trying on the captains part

  BIG FUN WITH A TUNA

  Half Day Big Game Fishing (PM) on April 22, 2026 • 6 adults

  We had a fantastic fishing trip on the boat Prime. Captain Simon explained everything to us first, and then we headed out to sea. At first, it looked like the fish weren't biting. But after about 2.5 hours, our patience was rewarded, and a tuna weighing around 75 kg took the bait. Suddenly, there was a lot of action on board, and after about an hour, we were able to land the tuna in the boat! An amazing experience!

  Fishing with Simon

  Full Day Big Game Fishing on September 25, 2025 • 1 adult

  Had a great day out trolling onboard Prime. It's a fantastic boat with the best of kit. I was well looked after by Simon and Alfonso, with good chat and a cracking lunch provided by Simon's wife. We hooked up to one fish but unfortunately didn't land it but that is always a possibility when trolling for big fish; it's never a guarantee. I wouldn't hesitate to book up with them again next time I'm in Madeira and would recommend them to anyone considering a trip out from Calheta.

  Good experience

  Full Day Mixed Fishing on August 1, 2026 • 2 adults

  Me and my girlfriend went out fishing with the dream of catching a Marlin, unfortunately it was not the case. Anyways we greatly enjoyed the first part of the day by doing some bottom fishing and catching many triggerfish. The gear provided by the crew was top level and the overall experience has been satisfying.
