Corné Hendrickx5.0VerifiedNewAn Amazing Experience
Special 7 hours trip for Corné Hendrickx on October 22, 2026 • 4 adultsWhat an absolutely fantastic day we had! Even though we unfortunately didn’t catch any fish, it was still an unforgettable experience! And that was all thanks to David and Fabi! What incredible people! From the very first moment, they created such a wonderful atmosphere on board. Their enthusiasm, kindness, humor, and passion for fishing made this day truly special. They did everything they could to help us land a great catch, but that’s fishing! And luckily, a day like this is about so much more than just catching fish! To top it all off, we even got to see dolphins swimming in the wild! 🐬 Such a beautiful moment that made an already amazing day even more special. David and Fabi, thank you so much for your dedication, great company, and wonderful hospitality. You proved that even without catching a single fish, you can still leave the boat with a huge smile on your face! We would highly recommend this experience to absolutely everyone, and we will definitely be back! Hopefully, next time with a big catch! 🎣❤️

Exclusive Big Game Fishing (PM) on September 8, 2026 • 6 adultsThe guys on the boat bring great vibes and a fun experience. We caught a large Marlin when we were out and I don’t think in life there are many things that top that excitement. Great time had by all of us

Bottom Fishing 4h (AM) on May 18, 2025 • 2 adultsI caught a few fish and was able to eat a red snapper for the first time! Delicious - the team on the boat made the experience even better- good guys
Kate LillardRepeat angler5.0VerifiedAmazing day!
Exclusive Morning Big Game Fishing on August 7, 2021 • 5 adults • 1 childWe are a family of five, Mom, Dad, & three boys ages 10, 20 & 23. We are forever struggling to find things for the whole family on holiday. The fishing trip with Balancal did not disappoint! We were out for a day on the water, so catching something was a bonus not a necessity. First three hours we lazed about eating all the food & drink prepared by tge crew - top notch. The last hour our son worked with the crew to reel in a 900 lbs, 4 meter blue marlin. It was so exciting … even for spectators! Honestly, it was a great experience & highly recommended for families with mixers ages like ours. Thanks for a great day out guys!!!
Jussi KoljonenRepeat angler5.0VerifiedMorning half day trip that was absolutely perfect!
Exclusive Morning Big Game Fishing on July 28, 2021 • 2 adultsI have been dreaming of going big game fishing a long time and finally decided to do it. The crew was very kind and helpful and gave me good introduction to the equipment and what to do if we hook one before we started fishing. After two hours we were very lucky to hook a big blue marlin about 850lb! We got the fish next to the boat after little over 30 min battle and were able to release it in good condition. Absolutely perfect day with very professional and enthusiatic crew. Definately going to do this again some day and would recommend this boat to everyone who has a chance to try big game fishing in Madeira!
Liam GuinanRepeat angler4.7VerifiedHard days fishing
Exclusive Big Game Fishing (PM) on July 21, 2022 • 7 adultsAs we all know , with fishing you are not guaranteed to catch. But you need a crew determined to help. We caught 4 red snapper whilst bottom fishing but no luck trawling. The captain and crew worked tirelessly to help , changing lures and Locations. And that is what you need whilst sea fishing. Hopefully back soon 😃
