  ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Amazing Fishing Experience!

  White & Blue Marlin • Full Day on September 15, 2026 • 2 adults

  We had an absolutely fantastic day fishing with Aqua Fishing Charters, Josué and his son. From the very beginning, they were incredibly friendly, professional and knowledgeable. They took the time to explain everything in detail, shared a lot of their experience with us and made the whole trip both exciting and enjoyable. You can really tell that they know these waters and are passionate about fishing. The absolute highlight of the day was catching a White Marlin — an unforgettable experience and a fish I will definitely remember for the rest of my life! A huge thank you to Josué and his son for making this such a special day. Great people, great knowledge and a fantastic fishing experience. Highly recommended! We would definitely fish with Aqua Fishing Charters again! 🎣

  Bluefin Tuna Trip 29/06/26 - Dreams Do Come True!

  tuna shared on June 29, 2026 • 1 adult

  Just had an amazing fishing trip with Captain Josue and his two crew onboard Aqua X. I consider myself to be fortunate to have been looking at going fishing whilst on holiday and messaging Josue prior to my travelling. I asked about the fishing and if i could get on a charter(Any charter/Any fish) where i could share with other people. Josue managed to arrange a Bluefin Tuna Trip with another person and so i booked the trip. Booking was easy and Josue responds quickly to questions and sends out very clear information about your trip. On the morning of the trip Josue called me to confirm that all the information i had timings/meeting place were still the same and to ring him when i was at the quayside as he would arrange to have someone transport me to the boat. The boat is good and offers shade/rest areas, a toilet. Snacks and refreshments were also provided. Fishing equipment was also very good. Once onboard Captain Josue introduces everybody and explains the day ahead. As me and the other angler Bob are experienced anglers but novice (To put it politely) Tuna anglers Captain Josue explains the process if we hook into a Tuna. The crew then go through the process with you. This i found to be really helpfull and comes into its own when a fish is hooked as at this stage everything happens at 1million miles per hour. We had a hook up midmorning but the fish slipped the hook after thirty seconds. Luckily the Tuna Gods were smiling on us and we had another strike which after over an hours battle we managed to get it alongside the boat. The fish was quickly unhooked and we got to admire the beauty of a truly magnificent fish whilst it was checked over for a few moments and allowed to recover before being safely returned. Basically you cannot go wrong in booking Captain Josue, the boat, his crew, the equiment all first class. So for this alone top marks 5 stars across the board. Now you don't always catch and today i was very lucky in that regard but it helps with good hard working people around you with the best equipment. Today a dream came true! Thank you Captain Josue, the crew and Aqua X!!!!

  Best day out on the water, period!

  Reef Fishing Experience • Half Day on May 11, 2026 • 2 adults

  If you’re in the Algarve and want some proper reef fishing, you’ve got to book with Áqua. I’ve done a few charters before, but this was easily the highlight of my trip. The energy was great from the start and, more importantly, we actually caught fish! Captain Josué really knows his stuff. He took us straight to the best spots and we were getting bites all day. I managed to land a massive 4kg pargo which was the highlight, but we had plenty of other quality catches too. Josué keeps it fun, relaxed, and knows exactly how to find the fish. Already looking forward to the next one aboard Áqua. Cheers guys!

  Our son loved every minute!

  Reef Fishing Experience • Half Day on May 15, 2026

  We had a fantastic day out fishing with Captain Josué. The boat is spacious and very comfortable, with plenty of room for everyone to relax and enjoy the trip. The absolute highlight was watching our son catch and land his own fish. He was completely thrilled and hasn’t stopped talking about it since! Captain Josué was professional, welcoming, and incredibly patient with the kids. We had an unforgettable time and would highly recommend this charter to any family looking for a memorable fishing experience in Tavira.

  A day we’ll never forget

  Giant Bluefin Tuna • Full Day on July 16, 2026

  Absolutely incredible day with Captain Josué and the crew on Áqua. We came hoping to experience Giant Bluefin Tuna fishing and it turned into one of those days you never forget. Seeing a giant tuna up close after an incredible fight was something else. The crew were fantastic from start to finish, professional, friendly and clearly passionate about what they do. If you’re looking for a serious Bluefin experience in the Algarve, this is the boat to book. We’d do it again in a heartbeat.
