Flipper 11 is a very clean and tidy boat. Top quality, tackle and equipment, kept in good condition. On boarding you receive, a (not often experienced) quick chat explaining the layout of the boat and it’s safety features and equipment, I found this comforting and reassuring. These guys know what they’re doing. Nothing is too much trouble, we got very well looked after, had a fantastic day and looking forward to going out with them again.

Wow, what a fantastic day, perfect for a couple of old gippers like us who have no experience at all but wanted to try it.

Both Neil and Mick are as professional as they are friendly and gave fascinating insights into both fishing and life in Madeira.  They were the perfect hosts and although they have decades of fishing experience around the world made us feel totally at home

Frankly, I’d have been happy just being out in the glorious weather in a power yacht, so catching 3 skipjack tuna was a total bonus. We could have kept the catch, but unfortunately couldn’t take it, but maybe next time

The three-hour trip was perfect for us as newbies and we felt it was an absolute bargain compared to other boat trips on offer, which seem to only focus on ‘serious fishermen’ and charge accordingly

We felt totally safe and secure throughout and even managed to see a turtle chugging along in the wild which was a first for us.

Overall, a fantastic trip and one we hope to repeat again

It was amazing!

I would definitely recommend this trip to anyone who wants to experience local fishing techniques and big game fishing for a fair price!

Captain Mick and Captain Neal are just gorgeous! They were super caring and gave their best to make this a great experience for us. They are absolute luminaries in terms of fishing. The full 4h felt like 4 minutes..

We went for a four hour bottom fishing trip, after 1,5h we had plenty of fish on board. After that we decided to try something else, and assembled the big game rods. After some time we were blessed to spot a Marlin! Unfortunately we couldn’t get him on the hook.

After the trip they recommended a restaurant to us where the chef was preparing the fish we caught that day!

It was a great experience and we will definetly come back on board of Flipper II alongside Neil and Mick!

We had a lovely morning out on Flipper 2 with Neil and Mickey. They made us feel right at home on their boat and talked us through the fishing trip, gave us lots of insightful information on Madeira, it’s waters and the inhabitants. They were so lovely and enthusiastic about their passion for fishing. We got to see lots of dolphins which was amazing. We also got to have a lovely swim in the ocean on the way back which was breathtaking with the surrounding scenery. Thank you for making our boat trip so personal and enjoyable. Aimee and Owen xx

Friday morning 4 hr morning trip.

Kudos to Neal and Mick who tried their best for me to have a great time in the water being it’s off season.

Weather was nippy early this morning and wind picked up last night forecast was for rain but the sun came out. It was disappointing bec the waves was choppy today must be that weather. Unfortunately I forgot my scopolamine patch and got a bid green on the gills. So I had to cut the trip short. But we had bites. Micky caught 2 trigger fish and I caught one before we rolled back to shore. I do want to come back with hubby for some big game fishing and make sure I bring my patch with me 🤣. I thoroughly enjoyed the island view from the sea and Neal and Mick were great hosts!
