The captain managed to organize our trip despite of the forecasted strong wind. He adapted the fishing techniques successfully. We had 3 wahoos simultaneously on the lines! 1 was captured and 2 lines were cut off with the lures by other fishes! Captain Pedro and Dino are making a great team. They have offered our family an unforgettable expérience, we highly recommand them!
J’ai passé une excellente matinée avec Pedro et Dino ! J’ai auparavant fais plein de sortie de pêche dans différents pays mais cette sortie était vraiment spécial. Ils nous ont beaucoup informé sur la pêche local et les poissons de saisons afin de pêcher le plus possible. Ils étaient très à l’écoute et nous avons pu bien discuter ce qui rend la journée encore plus sympathique. Ils ont vraiment fait de leur mieux pour nous et nous les remercions 👍🏼👍🏼 Je recommande 1000x les yeux fermés
Boat fits four, and there were four of us on my trip. We each caught 1-2 fish, but they can’t filet the fish for you (in Funchal harbor). So bring your own bag and carry a fish home or leave it at the dock. The day started which a little bit of light trolling (where I caught a Skip Jack), and then bottom fishing at about 100-120 meters, so be prepared to reel a lot. The crew knows the spots and the baits that work - and this matters. Water and beer available. It is also a nice way to hang with a few other like minded tourists who want to fish a bit when in Madeira.
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.
Even though we didn’t catch any fish, we were treated to a coastal tour an d great sunset. Pedro and Dino tried bait and different lures and we fished til dark. A great fishing day where the fish won, but there will be next time…. I would join this crew again!
