Member since May 2016 Calheta, Portugal

Background: Our charter company was founded in 2012 and is owned and operated by Captain Simon Alford. Madeira Fishing Charters has developed to be one of the most successful and appreciated charter boats in Madeira. Thousands of happy clients have been fishing with us since 2012. Captain Simon and renowned Claudio have more than 40 years of fishing experience ranging from fly fishing in the UK Big Game fishing in Florida, Mexico, South America and the coasts of Africa. Welcome to Madeira Fishing Charters and to Madeira Island! tightlines Capt Simon
Techniques: Our favourite style of fishing is without doubt Trolling. There is nothing to compare with the sudden ripping of line from your reel as a good fish takes your lure. Watching a Marlin approach the spread and lighting up is something to be experienced and is very, very special. For stubbornness and dogged scrapping, you would have to go a long way to beat a sizeable Tuna as he immediately descents into the depths upon striking.

4 Hour – Sport Fishing

Couldn’t ask for a better fishing experience, the crew were phenomenal and the fishing exceeded my expectations, lots of veriety along with a few big “fighters”. Captain Graham is not only very knowledgeable but also very personable which made the experience much more pleasurable for us adults but specially for my 9 year old. For anyone looking for a Madeira fishing experience I would highly recommend doing it on the Gavito. I’m sure you won’t regret it

Recently I have been on two fishing trips with Graham. He is knowledgeable and competent. He knows when to fish, where to fish and how to fish. The result: really nice fishes such as Red Snapper and big Trigger Fish. We froze the fish and took it home to Holland to eat. Really recommended.
