Madeira Fishing Charters

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.

Are you looking for a pleasure fishing trip in a stunning location with an experienced expert crew to quickly show you the best fishing spot and the use of all their fishing equipment ? look no further. These boys looked after us very, very well , and quickly we caught lots of fish exactly the type of fish I wanted. The day didnt need to get any better , The fact that a big shark casually swam past just added to the fun ! Brilliant thanks guys. All the best Lewis

Had a great half day out with Capt. Anders! We were wahoo fishing and hooked into a good one but lost him before we could get him in the boat. Would absolutely go out with him again. Boat and gear were in top shape. He wants to catch fish and definitely makes every effort to find them.

We searched along the shore for flocks of fishes. Stressless. Just enjoyed the moment. The team was quick to react to whether there were fish below us. Really nice afternoon on board! And perfect dinner! Thank you!
