    Great Captain. Great Trip!

    Half Day Trip – Big Game • 4 adults • 2 children

    We had a fantastic trip with Captain Jorge! I’ve been fishing my entire life and spent a lot of time researching charters before booking. I know how difficult it can be to choose a boat based only on online reviews, so I wanted to share how happy we were with our choice. Jorge and Pedro are excellent, skilled captains, and you can tell you’re in experienced hands. The boat was great, and having a cabin to get out of the sun was a big plus. If you’re looking for a fishing charter in the Azores, I highly recommend booking with them!

    Tuna and more!!

    Half Day Trip – Big Game (AM) • 4 adults

    3/4 of the people had not been ocean fishing before. Within a very short time we had hooked and brought in the nice tuna. The crew was wonderful with Capt. Pedro and first mate Vasco providing direction and coaching as needed. Since it was a time with friends, it was also great to see reactions to see dolphins, dolphins, and far too many dolphins. The only regret is that we did not book a full day of fishing and opted for a four hour trip. But it was a great introduction and we look forward to booking with the same crew in the future when more family and friends come to visit us on the island. Pedro and Vasco thank you very much and we hope this is the beginning of a long lasting friendship.

    Core Memory Unlocked

    Half Day Trip – Inshore (PM) • 2 adults

    Vasco and Guillermo made for an outstanding day on the water. Vasco is an excellent captain who kept us on the fish all afternoon. We lost count of how many barracuda, triggerfish, and rockfish we caught. Guillermo was a fun, capable first mate, and the two of them worked seamlessly as a team. Beyond putting us on great fishing, Vasco provided fresh peaches and watee during the trip and took great photos and videos so we’d have plenty of memories to take home. The whole crew was friendly, easygoing, and made the day genuinely fun. The boat itself was clean, well-maintained, and comfortable. Highly recommend this charter to anyone looking for a great catch and an even better time on the water.

    Reported catch:

    ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Captain Jorge! A Must for Families

    Half Day Trip – Coastal • 2 adults • 1 child

    If you have a child, booking with Captain Jorge is an absolute must. My nine-year-old son Ben and I chartered a day and a half with him, and it became one of the most memorable experiences of our trip, even without catching tuna. Jorge is patient, kind, and genuinely gifted with kids. He kept Ben involved in every little task on the boat, always had an eye on him, and made us feel completely safe throughout. You could tell this wasn’t just professionalism. Jorge has a son Ben’s age, and his fatherly instinct and pure excitement at seeing Ben smile and learn was truly priceless. When the tuna weren’t cooperating, Jorge didn’t miss a beat. He spent two hours trolling for barracuda and jigging across three different locations, mixing up the scenery and the species just to keep Ben engaged and ensure he caught something. The action was non-stop. We landed 5 barracudas and 23 other fish, groupers, dogfish, triggerfish, and more. Ben was in absolute heaven. Jorge turned every catch into a little lesson, showing Ben the different species and keeping his curiosity fired up the entire time. Throughout the trip, Jorge kept a watchful eye out for turtles, whales, and dolphins. When he spotted a group of dolphins, he changed course to get us closer. They approached the boat and curiously played around us, putting on a show neither of us expected. Ben and I were completely amazed, and it is a moment we will never forget. The magic lasted well beyond the boat. For the rest of the trip, Ben kept telling everyone how much he loved Jorge, his boat, and their time together. He reminded me multiple times a day to write this review, and he’s nine, so that says everything. This review might sound over the top, but honestly, it still doesn’t fully capture how incredible our time was. Jorge gave us a lifetime of memories, and we cannot wait to fish with him again.

    Reported catch:
    Great Barracuda
    Gray Triggerfish
    Response from Captain

    Alex, thank you so much for your review on fishing booker. I was very happy to read your kind and nice words. My heart filled with joy to learn what you and especially Ben felt during the time spent fishing on our boat. It was truly a pleasure to fish with you both. I hope one day we can repeat it. A big hug to you and your lovely sweet son Ben. Jorge Tavares

    A great experience, looking forward to do it again

    Full Day Trip – Big Game • 2 adults

    The sea was calm and most of the time the sky was overcast which actually helped, in terms of air temperature. The big-eye tuna had the audacity to avoid us :) even if two fishes in the 40 kg range were hooked by a nearby fishing vessel, a fact which we have witnessed. Plenty of dolphins were seen, some of which came within metres from the boat. The Portuguese man-of-war could be seen at least every ten minutes, with the boat underway. Sea birds were present almost all the time. For someone who loves marine life, this area is a must. Both Capt. Pedro and his mate Vasco provided a thorough briefing regarding the fishing equipment, the related strategies and the tuna behaviour. I would highly recommend their services.

Bigeye Action & Dolphin Magic! ?

Jul 8, 2026 • Ponta Delgada
What a spectacular day out on the water! We left the marina this morning and headed south. Just about 8 miles out, the ocean came alive—we spotted massive activity with hundreds of seabirds diving and tunas crashing the surface. We immediately got the lines in the water, and it didn’t take long. Just 20 minutes into the troll, fish on! After an intense and thrilling 30-minute battle, our guests successfully brought a beautiful Bigeye Tuna on board! To make the day even more unforgettable, shortly after the catch, hundreds of dolphins joined the party, putting on an incredible show right alongside the boat. Everyone returned to the marina with massive smiles and memories to last a lifetime. This is what fishing in the Azores is all about! Ready for your own adventure? Join us!
