We had an unforgettable experience fishing for giant tuna. The adrenaline when the reel started screaming was simply incredible. After about an hour and a half of intense battle with the fish, we were completely exhausted, but it was worth every second.
The captain Josué and crew member were excellent throughout the day, always committed to finding fish and ready to help whenever needed. It’s clear they know these waters extremely well.
We also really appreciated the care they took during the catch and release process, ensuring the tuna returned to the sea in great condition.
The boat is comfortable, stable, and very well equipped. The atmosphere on board was relaxed yet professional from start to finish.
Highly recommended. We will definitely be back!

We had an incredible day aboard the Aqua X chasing Bluefin Tuna. The boat is absolutely fantastic, spacious, very comfortable, and clearly set up to a high standard for serious big game fishing. You can immediately see the quality of the equipment and how well maintained everything is.

Josue and the crew were professional, knowledgeable, and worked tirelessly to put us on the fish. Their experience and dedication made all the difference, and we were lucky enough to hook into an amazing tuna.

The fighting setup on the boat was excellent and made the whole experience even more exciting. From start to finish, everything was first class.

If you are looking for a premium big game fishing trip in Tavira, Aqua X is highly recommended. An unforgettable experience and worth every euro.

5/5 — Highly recommended!

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!!!!

Without doubt one of the best fishing experiences we’ve ever had! The Aqua X is an amazing boat, perfectly equipped for serious big game fishing.

Skipper Josué was outstanding, incredibly skilled, passionate, and always one step ahead of the fish. His knowledge and determination gave us total confidence all day.

First mate Guilherme was simply incredible. Always attentive, professional, and working nonstop to make sure everything ran perfectly.

The moment the tuna hit was pure adrenaline and something we will never forget. If you want a world class tuna fishing experience, this is the boat and this is the crew.

Book now. Aqua X is truly next level!
