Madeira Fishing Reports

Our Mary fishing trips highly recommended

You can try everything you like. The captains always will ask you what you want to fish and how. I have chosen trolling but there is also bottom fishing,... We rent an appartement near the harbour. So it was an easy walk in the morning (5 minutes)to the boat. And as you leave very early in the morning you can get breakfast at the harbour promenade. There is a nice Cafe which was open at 8 when I arrived.

To go with an experienced crew and just enjoy the day.

There are no guarantees of catching . That's fishing though. As far as charters are concerned,the Gavito and crew were the best.

Don’t expect to catch a monster easily

Not to worry, the people from Madeira are so helpful. Just take sun cream and a coat as it can get cold at night.

To trust Gavito's crew and you are in for a great experience. Do take lots of sunblock and maybe a book to read whilst resting a bit in the cabin during the intense midday sunny periods. Stay close to the fishing chair so you will be prepared when you get a bite. Train your hand for some tough reeling in when the fish is on the hook!!

Book with Captain Graham on Gavito.! Pick your target species and go for it.! You never know what will happen.!

Bottom-fishing out by the islands is awesome, super-rich with fish. Smaller fish but still very fun.

It depends on their experience. It also depends on whether you are solo or in a group. Even inexperienced anglers can try for 1000 lb Marlin.!! We all have to start somewhere. In the end it is down to personal choice. Go with Gavito and Graham Venters and you can try both big game and bottom fishing all in one day.!!
