    Great Trip

    Catch and cook on July 21, 2026 • 3 adults • 1 child

    There were 2 adults and my grand kid who went out on the trip and Miguel (Captain) and Felipe were excellent. They made sure everyone enjoyed the trip and more importantly caught fish. When we got back to port, they cooked the fish we kept and to say it was delicious would be an understatement. Fresh fish and cooked to perfection. If you are planning on visiting the Azores, book this trip as these guys deserve to be supported. Brilliant, brilliant, brilliant.

    il capitano ci ha portato a provare vari spot fino a trovare quelli in cui abbiamo pescato dei grouper e trigger fish. meravigliosa la grigliata con il pescato preparata sul molo di Povoação. i ragazzi dell’equipaggio competenti, disponibili e molto simpatici

    Highly Recommend This Charter

    4 Hour Trip – Bottom Fishing (AM) on June 28, 2025 • 2 adults

    This was hands down my favorite fishing charter experience ever. Captain Miguel was incredible — knowledgeable, friendly, and made the whole trip feel relaxed and fun. The first mate was equally awesome, super helpful and great company throughout the day. We caught a ton of grouper and had some really good conversations along the way. Both Miguel and the first mate were genuinely kind and made sure everyone had a great time. If you’re looking for a top-notch fishing trip, this is the one. Can’t recommend it enough!

    Great Trip

    4 Hour Trip – Bottom Fishing (AM) on September 7, 2024 • 3 adults

    Aggressive to find fish for us to catch. Always baited the hooks and took care of everything. Provided water and spoke English very well.
