    Absolutely brilliant, best in Algarve

    2 Hour Trip – Family Fishing2 adults

    Capt Miguel and crew were amazing, fun guys, friendly and great atmosphere onboard the entire trip. The boat was a very clean and comfortable Rodman Flybridge, an awesome fishing vessel with a good hull for smaller groups which is exactly what you need off the coast of the Algarve. Genuinely the best fishing trip we have had while visiting and will be back for more without doubt. Don't hesitate, book yhr Domzela now!

    Common Bream

    1st time fishing

    4h - Bottom Fishing (6 people max)3 adults

    My partner and I went out for a 4 hour, bottom fishing trip. My partner is a experienced fisherman but this was my first time. It was just us 2, so private and relaxed. I caught my first fish and had a blast. Miguel, the captain, and his brother were patient and we had some good conversation. The fishing was a little slow (due to water conditions) BUT they still put in effort to make sure we had fun and caught some fish.

    Response from Charter operator

    Hello Savannah! 😊 Thank you so much for your wonderful review and kind words! We’re very happy to hear that you had a great time on our fishing trip and were able to enjoy a relaxed and fun experience. It’s always a pleasure to welcome first-time anglers and help make their experience a special one. We’ll be sure to pass your compliments on to Miguel and his brother — they’ll be delighted to know they helped make your day memorable! 🎣 We hope to see you again soon for more adventures at sea. Best regards, The Alvor Fishing Donzela Team

Another unforgettable day offshore with a fantastic family! It was a pleasure welcoming back a returning client who first joined me years ago for a shark fishing trip. Over dinner, they were reminiscing about that first adventure. This time, the boys were back on board—older, taller, and still just as excited! They each landed a beautiful blue shark, creating another unforgettable chapter in their family's fishing story. Thank you for choosing to fish with me again and for your kind words: "Hi Miguel - thanks for an awesome day today. We had a fantastic time." It's always a pleasure to welcome returning families and help create lifelong memories on the water. I look forward to seeing you all again for another adventure. Tight lines! Team Donzela

What a brilliant day of fishing with a great group of anglers! Calm seas and beautiful weather made for perfect conditions, and everyone enjoyed plenty of action throughout the trip. The catches included several quality sea bream, a mackerel, and even a small shark, making it an exciting experience for everyone on board. It was especially great to see our younger angler proudly landing a beautiful fish with a huge smile! Thanks to all our guests for the great company, enthusiasm, and unforgettable memories. We hope to welcome you back on board soon for another amazing fishing adventure! Team Donzela
