Firstly i want to give a big shout out to Pedro and Dino who are two really friendly and genuinely cool dudes that make the whole fishing experience super fun and informative by answering any questions you may have on the trip. The trip itself was really focused on tracking down the fish through watching currents and monitoring the fish finder instead of endless trolling just to catch one or two fish like most big game charters. The smaller boat and lighter setups allowed for a very dynamic fishing approach throughout the day and resulted in us catching a barracuda, amberjack, tuna, hogfish and other smaller reef fish like grouper. Additionally the crew provided drinks, snacks and a great environment to joke around and have a good time. Felt like a morning on the water with some friends. Will definitely book again and highly recommend to anyone looking for a good charter on Madeira.

If you’re looking for a great time on the water, look no further than Captain Pedro. We went out for a 4-hour trolling session and honestly had a blast from start to finish.
Pedro is a legend—super chill, professional, and clearly knows these waters like the back of his hand. Even though the fish weren’t feeling particularly hungry that day (we only managed to land one small barracuda), it wasn’t for lack of effort. Pedro was determined to get us a big one! He even let us stay out for an extra hour free of charge just to give us the best possible chance.
The boat had a great vibe, the equipment was top-notch, and the conversation was even better. Sometimes fishing is about more than just the catch; it’s about the experience and the company, and Pedro made sure we had a 10/10 day.

Water was so flat, you wouldn’t know you were on the ocean.
Went on an afternoon half-day bottom fishing trip on 20 June 2025. Weather was good. A bit overcast to start the day, which was perfect.
Began with trolling west along the coast in hopes of getting a barracuda strike, or some other species.  Had a few on the Lowrance, but couldn’t entice them to bite.
Made it to where we turned out to sea to hit our bottom-fishing target spots. Got a bite as we dropped the first bait in the water. Lost it on the way up.
Hit a couple spots and got a few smaller Red Snapper in the cooler. Best fish of the day was a 3.7-kilo Red Snapper. Used some fresh squid for bait. 
Captain Pedro and First Mate John (sorry I can’t spell it correctly, João?) were great.  We learned a lot about fishing in this area, and also a lot of cultural/historical info about Madeira as we traveled along the coast.
The fish weren’t quite as interested in us as we were with them. Still, the crew did their best and we did manage to put a few in the cooler, including the afore mentioned Red Snapper. Had it been another day of the week, we’d have taken it to a local restaurant for dinner.
Great day overall. Sure beat working. Would definitely fish with them again.
Thanks, fellas!

Had a fantastic time on the water both guys are super friendly and helpful! Boat was perfect for 4 people and we all had an amazing time! Even with not ideal conditions they tried extremely hard to bring us to places with good fishing spots. Pedro was also very good about communicating everything before hand and made it very easy to find then in the marina.

Four pensioners had a brilliant trip. 7 types of fish caught. Pedro was very knowledgeable about the fish and explained why he was doing things in a straight forward ways. On a quiet day, he searched for fish and provided us with an exciting day of fishing. A great day was had by all in a safe and eco-friendly environment. Thank you Pedro.
