Onboard amenities ensure a pleasant journey with a toilet, a kitchen, and a cozy dining area. For the fishing enthusiasts, the boat is outfitted with a fighting chair, outriggers, downriggers, and all essential gear for an unparalleled fishing experience. Everything you need, from rods and reels to lures and bait, is provided. Our experienced crew is eager to welcome you and guide you through an exhilarating offshore fishing adventure. If you're passionate about Billfish, Portugal’s warm Mediterranean waters blending into the Atlantic create an unmatched fishing haven. This region, including the Gulf of Cadiz, is Europe's prime spot for catching, tagging, and releasing Billfish, including some of the world’s largest Bluefin Tuna. Capt. João Melo, alongside his skilled team, is committed to making your fishing dreams come true, whether you're a novice or a seasoned angler. They provide assistance and teach, ensuring you experience the thrill of the catch—a massive Bluefin Tuna or a mighty Blue Marlin, delivering the fight of a lifetime. Dedicated to conservation, we tag and release big pelagic fish under stringent guidelines from the IGFA and the Billfish Foundation, ensuring their survival. We also collaborate with the Portuguese Institute for Sea and Atmosphere (IPMA) for ongoing marine research. Embark on the ultimate big game fishing adventure with professionals, and create unforgettable memories on the Algarve coast.
