Fish came in 3 times before an agressive take. Amazing acrobatics and an hours fight. Beautiful safe release. Fish swam away strong.

Flipper II released a 600lb+ marlin from calheta madeira today. Hope this is the start of a great 2023 season

Today, we launched Prime! After many upgrades and improvements of this Cabo 35 Express, we finally got her to the place where she should be….. In The Ocean! This lady took us from Sardinia, Italy to Madeira in December last year and our trust in her is huge. After doing several checkup’s, tuning equipment, we set the spread targeting marlin and tuna. After 5 hours enjoying the ride and started to prepare the boat for mooring in Calheta, the shotgun went off. Fighting the fish for an hour, we successfully boated a Bigeye estimated to 200lb plus.

Our guests from sweden was celebrating Roberts birthday. We managed to bring him some nice gifts! All between 16 and 20lb.

With albacore being landed in numbers we have also already out our firat Big eye of rhe season on the boat. The caotains popped out for half an hours as we had a free afternoon and we hooked up in 15 mins landed this lovely 176lb tuna and returned home for early dinner. Lovely evening great fish!'

Short trip out for caotain and crew on a day off. With tuna in the water we had to give it a go. In just 15-20 mins we were hooked up and had a fish on board. Great hour on rhe water. Will be back out for more!
