The fishing trip on Flipper 2 was excellent. Could not recommend it any more enthusiastically.
Practical tips before your trip - Bring change for the metered parking at Calheta Marina and we would not recommend using the Calheta Marina ATM which offers a really poor exchange rate. Get any cash you need before you arrive at the Marina.

It’s a great time all the time. Fishing is of course seasonal but the experience is amazing here

The fishing has been tough but if you're prepared to work and listen to your skipper, you'll find your reward.

Work out before you go if you hook up it’s a battle!

Fish with an experienced crew like Captain Mike and his crew. They will definitely put you on the fish! Their equipment is all top notch and they are very friendly. Don't miss out.

Calheta is very easy to get too and a beautiful little place. Restaurant Leme Marisqueira is the place to go to get your catch cooked, friendly staff and food was amazing.

Understand that nothing is guaranteed- it’s fishing. Enjoy the time out on the boat and you’ll have a good time.

Go with an open mind don’t be disappointed if you fail to catch just enjoy the moment. If you manage to hook up it’s likely to be big.Tight lines.

Use a local captain. If you can fish with Capt. Anders, do not hesitate to do it. My wife and I stayed at a convenient Airbnb Loft - Madeira - Funchal - Calheta.

Nice marina. Lot of game boats. Deep water fishing ground immediately outside marina. Sheltered side of the island so the sea is usually calm. Two good hotels next to marina.

It’s called fishing, not catching! Sometimes you’re unlucky or fish aren’t biting!

It's great to hope but after all it's called fishing and not catching for a reaaon
