At first glance I must admit the the size of the boat caused a little concern for a party of 6 adults.
But the size was perfect and never caused any problems - not during transport, not while fishing and not even with 2 big Tunas on the deck.
We had a great day:
Bruno (the Captain) and his family was extremely service minded and had even arranged for gluten free lunch to accommodate our special needs.
And when it came to the actual fishing it doesnโt become any betterโฆ..we caught 2 big tuna fish (app. 180 & 220kg) and they captain and his crew assisted us with doโs and donโt every step of the way. From initial hook to actually getting the fish on the boat.ย
We booked a 6 hours trip originally planed to start in the morning. But Bruno reached out a few days in advanced an recommended that we went in the afternoon instead to increase our success rate. So we did - and even though we only paid for 6 hours there was never any complaints that the trip ended up taking almost 8 hours due to the struggling with the last fish.
This was our fist Big Game experience but absolutely not our last. And if we are ever going back to Portugal we will be looking up Bruno and his crew for a second tour.
If you are considering Big Game Fishing I only have one advice: GO, GO, GOโฆ.

But the size...
Big Game Fishing it is a fish of a lifetime, and you do not get those avery day. All trips are a gamble, most of the time we find the fish, on the priviest 4 trips, we has 2 Bluefin tunas of 240lbs and 320lbs, released a White Marlin on Sunday and a Blue Marlin on Monday. We are there to get the big fish, not to change tactics and get little tuny, we have a special trip just for those, maybe you should try it. Hope you can go on the charters to catch blue sharks, or a Mako... More
