The charter operator canceled 1 days prior to the trip date. This is an automated posting.

Captain Simon and his crew provided a quality service. They gave me quick responses to my questions before the trip, were at the meetup location early and started the charter on time. The boat was clean and spacious, their galley was stocked with cold beverages and snacks. The provided lunch was homemade and very tasty. The fishing rods, reels and lures all were in good condition. While no fishes were caught during the trip, its was not for a lack of trying on the captains part

Had a really nice day woth my grandson on Prime on 22 July 2025. Great crew, superb boat and quality gear. Threw everything at the fish but the kitchen sink.  Trolling seven lines and teasers all day.  Darn fish just weren’t having any of it.  Wasn’t for lack of trying, for sure. We started trolling the minute we were out of the harbor and didn’t stop for 7 hours, until we were back at the harbor mouth. The bite has been slow lately. I was out two days prior on another...

We had a fantastic fishing trip on the boat Prime. Captain Simon explained everything to us first, and then we headed out to sea. At first, it looked like the fish weren’t biting. But after about 2.5 hours, our patience was rewarded, and a tuna weighing around 75 kg took the bait. Suddenly, there was a lot of action on board, and after about an hour, we were able to land the tuna in the boat! An amazing experience!

Had a great day out trolling onboard Prime. It’s a fantastic boat with the best of kit. I was well looked after by Simon and Alfonso, with good chat and a cracking lunch provided by Simon’s wife. We hooked up to one fish but unfortunately didn’t land it but that is always a possibility when trolling for big fish; it’s never a guarantee. I wouldn’t hesitate to book up with them again next time I’m in Madeira and would recommend them to anyone considering a trip out from Calheta.
