great adventure

Half Day Trip – Big Game (AM)3 adults

no, we didn’t catch any fish, but we had a remarkable time learning about the mysteries of the sea appreciating the beauty that surround us. Would definitely do this again. Our crew was amazing.

Response from Captain

Thank you, Ines, for your kindness and kind words! Unfortunately, we didn't catch a fish this time, but I'm glad we had a great time together. The tunas are back and very close to the coastline now! I hope you have better luck next time. hope to see you again some day!!! All the best.

    Tuna and more!!

    Half Day Trip – Big Game (AM) • 4 adults

    3/4 of the people had not been ocean fishing before. Within a very short time we had hooked and brought in the nice tuna. The crew was wonderful with Capt. Pedro and first mate Vasco providing direction and coaching as needed. Since it was a time with friends, it was also great to see reactions to see dolphins, dolphins, and far too many dolphins. The only regret is that we did not book a full day of fishing and opted for a four hour trip. But it was a great introduction and we look forward to booking with the same crew in the future when more family and friends come to visit us on the island. Pedro and Vasco thank you very much and we hope this is the beginning of a long lasting friendship.

    Core Memory Unlocked

    Half Day Trip – Inshore (PM) • 2 adults

    Vasco and Guillermo made for an outstanding day on the water. Vasco is an excellent captain who kept us on the fish all afternoon. We lost count of how many barracuda, triggerfish, and rockfish we caught. Guillermo was a fun, capable first mate, and the two of them worked seamlessly as a team. Beyond putting us on great fishing, Vasco provided fresh peaches and watee during the trip and took great photos and videos so we’d have plenty of memories to take home. The whole crew was friendly, easygoing, and made the day genuinely fun. The boat itself was clean, well-maintained, and comfortable. Highly recommend this charter to anyone looking for a great catch and an even better time on the water.

    A great experience, looking forward to do it again

    Full Day Trip – Big Game • 2 adults

    The sea was calm and most of the time the sky was overcast which actually helped, in terms of air temperature. The big-eye tuna had the audacity to avoid us :) even if two fishes in the 40 kg range were hooked by a nearby fishing vessel, a fact which we have witnessed. Plenty of dolphins were seen, some of which came within metres from the boat. The Portuguese man-of-war could be seen at least every ten minutes, with the boat underway. Sea birds were present almost all the time. For someone who loves marine life, this area is a must. Both Capt. Pedro and his mate Vasco provided a thorough briefing regarding the fishing equipment, the related strategies and the tuna behaviour. I would highly recommend their services.

    Loved it!

    Half Day Trip – Big Game (AM) • 2 adults

    While we did not catch any fish, we had an incredible time seeing hundreds of spotted dolphins and conversing with Pedro and his first mate. They were both incredibly personable, worked tirelessly changing bait and position while scouting the sea for tune and marlin. They gave us some local recommendations as well and we had an overall wonderful time!

    Wonderful trip

    Full Day Trip – Big Game • 4 adults • 1 child

    we went on the trip with our 15 and 12 year old kids and we booked the big game for the hole day. the crew was very flexible and suggested to try different kinds of fishing and routes if there wouldn‘t be a bite on the big game. it came so and at the end of the day we had a lot of smaller fish despite the big ones didn‘t want to bite. we really appreciate this. the crew is very professinal, we’ve been impressed. all in one - we were all excited and had a great experience! thank you so much.
