Ocean Fun & Fishing – Big Game Portugal
Ocean Fun & Fishing – Big Game Fishing Portugal is a charter company and registered brand created in 2016 by Capt. João A. Melo, dedicated to Big Game Fishing on the Algarve shore, departing from the Olhão Marina.
The "Sal X” is a 36' Riviera refitted in 2023. It is stable, reliable, and designed for the deep blue ocean. The twin 370 HP Cummins engines give the boat a cruising speed of 18 knots and a top speed of 26 knots. Amenities on board include a toilet for your convenience, a galley to prepare your meals, and a comfortable area for leisure dining. But most importantly, it comes equipped with a fighting chair, outriggers, downriggers, and all the essentials of a true fishing machine.
Rods, reels, tackle, lures, and bait are all included. The crew is ready to welcome you aboard for an offshore fishing experience and will take care of you and your party throughout this one-of-a-kind adventure.
If Billfish is your passion, come to Portugal – the premier big game fishing destination in Europe. The warm waters flowing from the Mediterranean Sea into the Atlantic Ocean sweep up to the Gulf of Cadiz, making this area the only place in Europe where it is possible to catch, tag, and release Billfish and some of the largest Bluefin Tuna in the world.
Capt. João A. Melo, an IGFA CAPTAIN, and his crew welcome anglers of all skill levels, offering guidance when needed and helping you reach the pinnacle of the sport – having a giant Bluefin Tuna or a Blue Marlin on the end of your line in the fight of a lifetime. The ultimate big game fishing trips in the Algarve.
The large pelagic specimens are tagged and released, and ensuring the best conditions for their survival is a top priority, in accordance with the guidelines of international organizations such as the IGFA and the Billfish Foundation.
As in previous seasons, we have a Marine Biologist on board to provide insights into the marine life along our coastline and to explain the tagging study of White and Blue Marlins that we are conducting in partnership with IPMA/ICCAT.
