Today we went on a full-day trip to white marlin, and it was very special since it had been a long time since we’d seen so many marine species in one day. We started by seeing a swordfish and a hammerhead shark. A bit later, we saw a pod of common dolphins numbering about 50 individuals. To our surprise, behind the dolphins was a whale (I think a pilot whale), and whip we where watching them we had a white marlin strike, our newcomer Mels took to the rod and with some skill, released his first white marlin, he was radiant and had a huge smile on his face. We set everything up again, and in less than 10 minutes, his father, Coert, had caught the second white marlin of the day and skillfully brought to the boat to be tagged and released. The family had a fantastic day and they guaranteed they’d be back.

Today we named this White Marlin “Quinten”, “it was an unforgettable experience, I had never caught and released such a majestic fish, the crew was incredible” he defined his experience aboard the SAL X. We had 1/2 White Marlins and saw a lot of life in the Algarve sea, Swordfish, Dolphins and sea birds.
