Great trip for beginners and more leisurely minded fishers

4h - Bottom Fishing (6 people max)6 adults

Easy and fun activity with virtually guaranteed catch. Helpful crew under captain Miguel’s supervision. The four hour trip allowed for 2.5 hours of fishing which was adequate to get a feel for this type of fishing and catch numerous fish of different species. Predominantly smaller sizes. Very easy technique and no requirements on previous experience. Please note that you are expected to manage the baiting by yourself, which means fingering pieces of shrimp and squid. If you have four hours to spare try this out!

    Absolutely brilliant, best in Algarve

    2 Hour Trip – Family Fishing • 2 adults

    Capt Miguel and crew were amazing, fun guys, friendly and great atmosphere onboard the entire trip. The boat was a very clean and comfortable Rodman Flybridge, an awesome fishing vessel with a good hull for smaller groups which is exactly what you need off the coast of the Algarve. Genuinely the best fishing trip we have had while visiting and will be back for more without doubt. Don't hesitate, book yhr Domzela now!

    Great days of fishing!

    2h - Family Fishing (6 people max) • 5 adults • 1 child

    We went shark fishing and I caught a 2m shark! We booked another shorter trip with more of the family and we all caught fish. Kids loved it. Capt Miguel and his first mate were so helpful and knowledgable and made everyone feel so welcome! We will be back next summer!!

    Fun time fishing in Portugual

    7 Hour – Big Game Fishing (4 Max) • 2 adults

    Captain Miguel battled not ideal conditions today and kept us fishing hard. No luck on the big game but i apprciate his efforts. Dolphin sightings were very cool on the postive side. Thanks Miguel!

    Response from Charter operator

    Thank you so much, Mr Chase, for your kind review! 🎣 It was a real pleasure having you on board. Unfortunately, big game fishing doesn’t always go our way, and the conditions were certainly challenging that day, but we kept trying until the end! We’re very happy you enjoyed the experience and the dolphin sightings 🐬. We hope to see you again on board Alvor Fishing Donzela for another adventure — and hopefully with a big one on the line next time! 🎣💪 Thank you for choosing us and for appreciating our efforts. Tight lines! — Captain Miguel & Alvor Fishing Donzela Team
