Step aboard history and discover Madeira from a truly local perspective.

Xavelha Ocean Roots offers a unique fishing experience aboard an authentic Xavelha, a traditional wooden fishing boat built in 1936 and carefully restored to preserve Madeira’s maritime heritage. Originally used by local fishermen in Câmara de Lobos, this remarkable vessel even completed a seven-day voyage from Madeira to Lisbon to participate in Expo ’98, becoming part of Portugal’s maritime history.

Today, Captain Diogo welcomes guests aboard for unforgettable fishing adventures along Madeira’s spectacular coastline.

Whether you're an experienced angler or trying fishing for the first time, you'll enjoy a relaxed and authentic day at sea aboard one of the island’s most iconic traditional boats.

Depending on the season and conditions, you'll have the opportunity to target species such as:

• Grouper
• Snapper
• Triggerfish
• Barracuda
• Other local species

Fishing techniques may include bottom fishing, trolling, jigging, light tackle fishing, and other methods adapted to the season and target species.

Your adventure begins at Marina da Praça do Povo in Funchal. The vessel accommodates up to 6 guests, with fishing trips designed for up to 4 anglers to ensure comfort and personal attention throughout the experience.

All fishing equipment is provided, including quality rods, reels, and tackle. Complimentary drinks and light snacks are also included.

Families are warmly welcome, and children can enjoy a safe and memorable introduction to Madeira’s fishing traditions. Life jackets are available on board.

At the end of the trip, guests are welcome to keep their catch, subject to local regulations and protected species requirements.

More than just a fishing charter, Xavelha Ocean Roots is an opportunity to experience Madeira’s living maritime culture, connect with local traditions, and create lasting memories aboard a historic vessel that has sailed these waters for generations.
