Fishing with Miguel

4 Hour Trip – Bottom Fishing (PM)4 adults

I had bought a fishing trip that had to include fishing and fishing equipment as well as lunch and drinks. the trip was supposed to start in the afternoon, but the captain wanted to advance it "for the wind". The real reason was the other client what we waited in the harbor for more than half an hour on the boat. In reality, it was just fishing with the captain who smoked in the boat where was children. I think I have been cheated and the matter should be dealt with by the police. When I asked the captain in his harbor for lunch, which was promised, he said that you could offer water. I have never insult that kind of behavior from anyone who does a job as a professional and I believe that gods punish such behavior.

Response from Charter operator

Hi Mr. Kari, Thanks for your review. 1° if you read well your ticket lunch its included only for Big Game Trips, thanks. 2° In the boat its not saying No Smoking. 3° If the fish don't want to bite, its nothing I can do because I'm not God. This is fishing and not Catching. 4° if you don't like to wait for other customers its better you rent a boat just for yourself. Charter for ex. . 5° next time if you make a trip and if you don't like anything say direct to the persons face not in his back. Maybe something can be done. Thanks again Mr.Kari from Finland. Best Regards Capt Miguel Alexandre

    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!

    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
