What anglers said about fishing in Madeira

Stay in Calheta as the roads can get busy so a taxi from Funchal is not cheap and takes a fair while on the way home. Beware of celebrations involving Poncha.

It's a bit hit and miss this time of year, it would seem. Depends on the bait and if the squid and mackerel are in. Was a pleasure to see a shoal of juvenile Marlin and had 2 different species of Amberjack.

There are a great many boats operating in Funchal, so it may be hard to choose one, I really think fishing for 4 hours in the morning with Madeira Sight Casting is the best option, you have a good chance of catching with them, far better than hour after hour of mindless and very expensive trolling and the fish you do catch can still be quite spectacular

Bring sunscreen, a jacket, snacks if you want, and wear clothes that can get dirty (fish gunk). And listen to the crew, they know better than you and are experienced.

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

I loved that the captain said some days are good for the fishermen and some are good days for the fish. We didn't catch anything but it was a beautiful day...and good for the fish.

Take some sea sickness medication, it worked really well for the ones who took them from our company, but those who didn’t think would get sick did get sick even though the sea was relatively calm.

Book with Native Crew! They’ll do the rest. Captain is fluent in English which helped communication greatly. Be sure to get out early in the morning while still cool and fish are biting.

Don't expect to catch a big game first time! I've been 4 times all over the world and still not had my big catch but still pulled up all kinds of colourful fish!! And some big snapper! A day out on the boat is better than a day not on the boat! Just go and have fun and you may get lucky! Also check season times, summer is best for certain types of fish so can be hard before the season

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.

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.
