Booking the full days charter at short notice was always a challenge. After speaking to Victor a time to collect me and take me to the boat all went as planned   he makes you feel welcome and nothing to much trouble   on board   deckhand Antonio   knew it all and is so helpful   we trolled for hours changed lures changed tactics   just a few   bonito caught   so   we   fished on the bottom for a bit   Victor put us on a mark   every drop a fish each time   but over 200m deep soon wears you out   so we tried trolling again   caught another couple of bonito but no   record breakers     Victor and Antonio   tried everything   going well over the time booked for   they tried 100%  but no birds ment no fish   my review is great captain and great skipper helpful and never gave up   Antonio a great deckhand     a great   boat good equipment     I am going back in October   and will be on board again   for a great day’s fishing   Victor   & Antonio   thanks for a good day George

We were picked up from the place we where staying in ar Rosario in Sao Vicente by Victor the captain himself. He took us to the boat in Caletha where we found Orlando preparing the boat. As soon as we left port Victor let out 6 trolling lines and we trolled to Ponta de Pargo and part of the North coast of Madeira. Victor was continuously searching for fish both visually and on the echosounder.
Unfortunately we had no luck. Victor suggested that we stop for bottom fishing. Despite conditions not being optimal he managed to put us on the fish straight away. Orlando was of great help preparing gear, baiting the hooks and helping in reeling in. We caught nice red snapper and a large scorpion fish. My daughters and my wife, who have little experience in fishing, also managed to catch fish. On our way back, despite time was up, Victor let out the trolling lines again and we trolled it all the way ending up doing more than 5 hours instead of four at no extra cost. He drove us back to our place.
Victor really likes fishing and shares his enjoyment with you when you catch fish.
This is highly recommendable. First you get to see Madeira from a different view, really experiencing the beauty of the cliffs and we saw some dolphins. Secondly the crew is very friendly and helpful. You also get to keep the catch, which we enjoyed eating throughout our stay in Madeira.
A truly memorable experience. One of the highlights of our holiday.

Captain Victor is worth trusting! The day before my trip, Captain Victor called me and asked about my fishing preferences, asked a bunch on questions. He was prompt to pick me up from my place. And the whole time we were at sea, he was hustling trying to ensure that we catch fish. And we DID! One would say that a lot depends on luck while fishing, I’d say, 90% knowledge of the local waters and experience of a captain and 10% luck.

Had a fantastic afternoon with captain Victor on his boat.
Unfortunately the fish were not biting but victor tried so hard to find us some fish.

We will definitely be back to the island and trying for some fish with Victor.

Many Thanks

Paul, Louise and Harriet.

Captain Viktor is the biggest dude.  We couldn’t catch anything for 4 hours.  He did not give up and watched the sea through binoculars.  He noticed seagulls at sea and went after them.  Then we managed to catch 70 kg of tuna.  I recommend and thank you.
