Half day with Captain Nuno

4 Hour Trip – Bottom Fishing4 adults2 children

We did a half day with Capt Nuno sailing from Funchal. I have two young children so needed a kid friendly trip to ensure they had fun! First, Captain Nuno suggested we change the day as seas were rough and would have been more challenging for kids. He was extremely flexible and moved it to a late afternoon trip so it was less challenging for the kids. Boat was excellent as was equipment. Kids pulled up a load of Snapper, Bream and Grouper on bait with the 10 year old pulling up 3kg red snapper on bait. We also did some slow jigging and picked up a few really nice sized red snapper. The largest one unfortunately pulled the hook! Awesome trip. Kids were kept really active and I had a few really good size fish on nice light tackle. Captain Nuno and his crew were superb and boat and equipment excellent. Very easy to find and arrange. We will definitely be back and fish again with Madeira Sea Fishing next year. Highly recommended for family fishing day (or adult day if you want to only chase the larger ones!)

    EXCELLENT experience on the water, with Captain Nuno & 1st Mate Joseph! A Must-Do in Madeira!

    4 Hour Trip – Bottom Fishing • 2 adults

    As beautiful as Madeira is by land, seeing it from the water on Capt. Nuno’s gorgeous boat is even more glorious. Capt. Nuno is a magnanimous spirit and an incredible host— As is his first mate Joseph. Catching a fish would have been great, but my husband and I are experienced anglers and know that sometimes the fish simply aren’t biting in spite of noble efforts. They were delightful and insightful to spend a half a day with, and the experience still gets a 10! We can’t wait to return in the summer months and give it another run, and get on some big game fish. They can at times be elusive, but when you get on them it is well worth the effort. THANK you both, for an unforgettable day, and for your gorgeous hospitality. Cheers, until next time!

    No fish but amazing experience!

    4 Hour Trip – Big Game Fishing • 2 adults

    Unfortunately we did not catch a fish this trip but Captain Nuno, Robert, and Joseph were the best crew we could have asked for! It was clear they were doing everything they could to help us catch one, but just wasn't in the cards for this trip. We did get to see some amazing whales and dolphins up close at sunset. This alone made it worth and they went above and beyond to take personal photos and answer any questions we had. I would highly recommend this team on the Dream on or the Freed Em' for any fishing trip in Madeira. Would certainly do again without hesitation.

    Es war ein absoluter traum mit Robert und Manu zu Angeln. Am ersten Tag haben wir erfolgreich auf grund geangelt! Am zweiten Tag geschleppt und tatsächlich einen grossen marlin gefangen! Anfänglich hatten wir zwei gleichzeitig am Haken! Einer hat wieder ausgeschlitzt,der zweit wurde erfolgreich angelandet! Ich kann die jungs nur wärmstens empfehlen!

    4 Hour Trip – Big Game Fishing • 2 adults

    The views of the island to tge blue in the ocean was absolutely unreal. even though we didnt catch anything we still had a blast. the hospitality was amazing cold drinks the capt and crew were awesome they spoke great english and were very friendly. Bring a long sleeve for the ride out. Make sure your phone is charged!! we saw whales dolphins swimming with the boat and so many flying fish. This is a must do if your staying in madeira.

    Great trip!!

    4 Hour Trip – Big Game Fishing • 1 adult

    Fishing is not only about catching!! it's the surroundings, it's the anticipation! it's watching and waiting!! My trip with Nuno and Pedro was excellent, catching something would have been the icing on the cake, but that doesn't always happen!! Maybe next time!! and there definitely will be a next time!! Highly recommended trip, Captain and crew!!
