The crew provides top-quality Shimano and Penn gear and various lures and bait. The trip price also includes snacks, drinks, and fishing licenses. Keep in mind that fly fishing gear is not provided and that you'll need to bring your own if you'd like to fly fish.

We had an absolutely fantastic day out with Red Hunter and couldn’t recommend Captain Claudio and his team highly enough. From the moment we stepped on board, we were made to feel incredibly welcome. The day started with a wonderful breakfast, which set the tone for what turned out to be an exceptional experience from start to finish. Captain Claudio and the crew got us fishing almost immediately, and we were catching fish straight away. Their knowledge, professionalism and enthusiasm were evident throughout the day. The team were constantly on hand to help, changing bait, offering advice, adjusting tackle and moving to different locations to keep us on the fish. Nothing was too much trouble. The lunch prepared on board was absolutely delicious and a real highlight of the day. As for the fishing itself, it exceeded all expectations. Between the four of us, we must have caught around 100 fish, with an incredible variety of different species throughout the day. The combination of great hospitality, expert local knowledge, outstanding service and fantastic fishing made for a truly memorable trip. We would highly recommend Red Hunter to anyone looking for a first-class fishing charter experience. We’ll definitely be back and are already looking forward to booking a tuna fishing trip with Captain Claudio and the team in the near future.
Thank you very much for your words and for sharing your experience with us! We really appreciate your recommendation and will be delighted to welcome you back on board whenever you return to the Algarve. many thanks Claudio Condinho & CREW
We loved our trip with Captain Claudio and Jon. We did both bottom fishing where we caught in a ton of Sophia fish and Mackerels. We then trolled for big game fish but it was the beginning of the season so not so much luck there. The captain and mate prepared a wonderful spread of bread cheeses, meats, fruits and veggies with beer and water. They were also very helpful with checking the bait on our lines. Would highly recommend if you visit the Algarve region. Awesome!

Capitaine Claudio and his fantastic crew have made this expedition a unique journey. We knew we were early for tuna fishing so Claudio did recommend a great mix to ensure we would bring back a diner first, than go chasing for tuna. No tuna, but tons of fish for the BBQ tonight. I truely recommend this boat and crew, they explode the standards.
My team and I were very pleased that you enjoyed the fishing trip. We hope you can return next year to try and catch tuna. many thanks Claudio Condinho & CREW
We had a wonderful day with Claudio! We were a party of 6 with various experience levels in fishing. It was a bit too windy to fish for snapper, so we instead fished closer to shore for sea bream and caught a variety of fish. Breakfast, lunch, and an afternoon snack were provided, quite tasty. A great option for experienced fishermen or those simply looking for an enjoyable day on the water!
The captain and crew made sure we had a fantastic day! They put us on to a huge number of good sized fish on our reef jigging trip. The boat was big and comfortable and the food was excellent. The 5 of us had a great time catching many species of fish, all day long. I can’t say enough good things about this charter experience. Thanks again for a great day!
