We are a family of five, Mom, Dad, & three boys ages 10, 20 & 23. We are forever struggling to find things for the whole family on holiday. The fishing trip with Balancal did not disappoint! We were out for a day on the water, so catching something was a bonus not a necessity. First three hours we lazed about eating all the food & drink prepared by tge crew - top notch. The last hour our son worked with the crew to reel in a 900 lbs, 4 meter blue marlin. It was so exciting … even for spectators! Honestly, it was a great experience & highly recommended for families with mixers ages like ours. Thanks for a great day out guys!!!

I have been dreaming of going big game fishing a long time and finally decided to do it. The crew was very kind and helpful and gave me good introduction to the equipment and what to do if we hook one before we started fishing. After two hours we were very lucky to hook a big blue marlin about 850lb! We got the fish next to the boat after little over 30 min battle and were able to release it in good condition. Absolutely perfect day with very professional and enthusiatic crew. Definately going to do this again some day and would recommend this boat to everyone who has a chance to try big game fishing in Madeira!

Fun day and great friendly crew (shame the fish weren’t feeding) but crew gave all they could to catch

Solomon and his mate David looked after me and my ten year old son very well despite my lad being sea sick a couple of times in the heavy swell. No sailfish or tuna but it is early in the season and we caught red snapper for dinner which was superb. I’d happily recommend a day out with the guys.
