As we all know , with fishing you are not guaranteed to catch. But you need a crew determined to help. We caught 4 red snapper whilst bottom fishing but no luck trawling. The captain and crew worked tirelessly to help , changing lures and Locations. And that is what you need whilst sea fishing. Hopefully back soon 😃

We went out twice on different days. David is a great 1st deck hand. Declan captained once and Salvadore once. Looked after us well. Very Knowledgeable. Good Equipment. Caught on both days.

The crew and boat really made this an awesome introduction to Madeira. Although we didn’t catch any fish we still had a great time. Amazing crew and Declan made the booking process from US very easy.
