  Bluefin Didn’t Bite, But the Experience Was Worth It

  Bluefin Tuna - Full Day on June 22, 2026 • 6 adults

  We set out to catch bluefin tuna, and the day started very promisingly. The conditions looked great until we encountered a pod of orcas that were clearly hunting tuna as well. Seeing them so close to the boat was an incredible experience in itself. Unfortunately, we didn’t catch any fish that day, but the captain and crew were fantastic and took great care of us throughout the trip. Bruno, the captain, is incredibly knowledgeable and experienced, and he was happy to share his insights about fishing and marine life along the Algarve coastline. He never gave up and kept working hard until the very end, constantly searching for fish. Overall, it was a fantastic day on the water, and we’ll definitely be back. Thanks again!

  Amazing day with Mandrake charters!

  Game Fishing (Mahi-Skypjack-Marlin) on August 14, 2024 • 2 adults

  Had an awesome experience with Mandrake Charters yesterday . Started out with non-stop action on Mahi a few miles out and after loading the box headed out 10-12 miles for White Marlin. After a couple hrs of fish just having a look at our teaser spread we found the feeding birds and had Two double hook ups in a row! We landed 3 of the 4 on the double ups and had multiple more strikes landing one more awesome fish estimated at 130lbs. Truly a dream trip out of Tariva , the crew comprised of family and friends on the Mandrake was a joy to spend the day with and i will never forget the experience of a lifetime . Regards, Mike Good

  Full day with Captin Bruno

  Bluefin Tuna - Full Day on June 18, 2026

  First we booked with Bruno but he sent another captin and crew. The fish we’re not bitting and that happens. I’ve been on a lot of fishing trips. But the crew didn’t bother changing on thing on an 8 hour trip. The same lures, same speed, the same spot. We were marking fish and lots of bait fish in the area. I was unimpressed with there ability to adapt or try for a different species. We asked multiple times and they were uninterested. I would not recommend them.
