We were picked up from the place we where staying in ar Rosario in Sao Vicente by Victor the captain himself. He took us to the boat in Caletha where we found Orlando preparing the boat. As soon as we left port Victor let out 6 trolling lines and we trolled to Ponta de Pargo and part of the North coast of Madeira. Victor was continuously searching for fish both visually and on the echosounder.
Unfortunately we had no luck. Victor suggested that we stop for bottom fishing. Despite conditions not being optimal he managed to put us on the fish straight away. Orlando was of great help preparing gear, baiting the hooks and helping in reeling in. We caught nice red snapper and a large scorpion fish. My daughters and my wife, who have little experience in fishing, also managed to catch fish. On our way back, despite time was up, Victor let out the trolling lines again and we trolled it all the way ending up doing more than 5 hours instead of four at no extra cost. He drove us back to our place.
Victor really likes fishing and shares his enjoyment with you when you catch fish.
This is highly recommendable. First you get to see Madeira from a different view, really experiencing the beauty of the cliffs and we saw some dolphins. Secondly the crew is very friendly and helpful. You also get to keep the catch, which we enjoyed eating throughout our stay in Madeira.
A truly memorable experience. One of the highlights of our holiday.
