    Great short trip

    4 Hour Trip โ€“ Big Game โ€ข 4 adults

    We didnt have time to go for long trip, so we went for 4hours trip. I fish a lot so didnt expect any magic. It is hard to catch something big in few hours. I had family with me, so I asked captain for mix of trolling and bottom fishing. Even it was a short trip. And the crew had no problem with anything and were very helpful and we had a lot od fun. We catched many nice fish including rare and protected Barred hogfish on bottom fishing. So my boys and wife were happy and had a lot of fun. I go fishing everytime and everywhere on our holydays. So I can really compare all details of such trip and guides. That is why I would like to highlight here the really professional work and approach of Gonzalo and David. Even though we only had one shot at trolling, we really enjoyed the trip to the max thanks to their professional and friendly approach. We are going to Madeira again next year and will definitely go fishing with them again ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ˜Ž๐Ÿ’ช

    Full day marlin fishing trip

    8 Hour Trip โ€“ Big Game โ€ข 2 adults

    The crew on Boca Raton were amazing! We did a solid full day of fishing across almost the entire south side of the island. Unfortunately no luck on landing a once in a lifetime marlin, but we did catch a small skip jack and a spear fish. The views of the island and knowledge the captain and first made have of the islands were great. Very friendly and made us feel right at home. The boat and equipment was very well kept and clean. You can tell the captain takes pride in his work. Highly recommend!

    Captain Barbosa really looks after you very well and tries hard to seek out the fish! Was hoping for a Marlin but canโ€™t complain with a circa 250lbs Big Eye Tuna. Hoping to go out with him again some time next year!
