What would you recommend to anglers fishing in Calheta, Madeira for the first time?

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.

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.

Go with an open mind have a great experience fishing is fishing if you manage to hook up its a bonus!

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