On Duty – Epic and Fun Fishing
On Duty invites you to experience the stunning waters of Faro.
You're likely to fish for Common Pandora, Mahi Mahi, Gilt-head (Seabream), Atlantic Mackerel, Blue Marlin, White Marlin, Mako Shark, Albacore Tuna, Bigeye Tuna, Blackfin Tuna, Bluefin Tuna, Skipjack Tuna, and more, depending on when you go. For these species, you're likely to troll and bottom fish using light or heavy tackle.
Thinking of bringing the whole family? Kids are absolutely welcome! Children must wear life vests, so find out if the appropriate size is available on board. If you have pets (dog, cat) they are welcome aboard as well. You're welcome to bring snacks – luckly, Capt. Carlos will have some on board!
Capt. Carlos welcomes you aboard a 32' Rodman sportfishing vessel that can carry up to 6 passengers. It comes with outriggers, a fighting chair, and all the essentials. There's a toilet on board for your convenience, a bedroom, a small saloon to rest and relax. Small kitchen as well. Capt. Carlos has rods and reels for you, as well as lures. Live bait is included, but it's good to ask about this so you know if you'll be catching it yourself.
Trips are run with the help of a First Mate.
There's no need to buy a fishing license, just show up ready for some fishing! Keep in mind that some fish may have harvest limits or closed seasons. If you don't know what to expect, ask the captain.
Some essentials to bring are sunglasses, a hat, and sunblock (non-spray). Drinks are included, free of charge. Alcohol is allowed in moderation, just be sure to avoid hard liquor as well as glass bottles. There will be food and some light snacks available on board.

Alexander Wick5.0PotvrđenoGreat fishing trip
8-časovni izlet – Marlin/Tune/Mahina avgust 11, 2026 • 4 odrasle osobeCarlos and his crew did a fantastic job. They fullfill all wishes and you get the feeling of fishing with friends. The boat is one of the best i have ever chartered, clean and comfortable. The service on boat is excellent- very good food and all drinks perfect cold. The equipment on board is a fishermans dream, high end rods and reels in very good shape. They gave 120% too make the trip unforgetable. Next year i will come again, because i have a open bill with this marlin. Thank you Carlos for 3 great days, it was a real pleasure.

Izlet od 8 sati - BFT džinovski plavoperajni tunana jul 9, 2026 • 4 odrasle osobeWe had an absolutely fantastic experience with On Duty – Extreme and Fun Fishing in Faro! The entire crew was wonderful, the people were great, and we couldn't have asked for better weather. A massive thanks to our captain, who was excellent and made the trip truly memorable. Highly recommend this for anyone looking to catch tuna in the Algarve—a perfect five-star day!

Izlet od 8 sati - BFT džinovski plavoperajni tunana jun 28, 2026 • 6 odrasle osobeWe booked this trip as trolling beginners, hoping for a big tuna experience. I understand that fishing is never guaranteed, and the bite was very difficult that day. We were told that only 2 out of about 15 boats caught BFT. However, the trip felt quite passive from a customer’s point of view. In the morning, shallow trolling around 5–10 meters made sense because there were birds, some surface activity, and marks on the fish finder. But after midday, when there was no more surface activity, the sonar showed large marks several times around 30–45 meters. We asked more than once whether we could try deeper trolling, but this was not attempted. Maybe this was the captain’s professional judgment, but it was not clearly explained to us. The boat was safe, the captain was polite, and he gave us a discount at the end, which we appreciated. Still, we expected a more flexible strategy and better communication when the fish were not biting.

Reef deep sea fishingna april 28, 2026 • 6 odrasle osobeWe had a nice trip even though the wind and waves were challenging. Be sure to take pills of you are not used to rough waters. The ones who did had a great day on On Duty. Carlos is a nice guy who takes his enterprise seriously. 👍

8-časovni izlet – Marlin/Tune/Mahina jul 1, 2026 • 2 odrasle osobeThe day started amazing with 2 giant tunas at the same time in the lines. Despite the effort of the captain and the crew, we were not able to get them onboard. Many thanks to Captain Cavaco for the nice experience. we will definitely do it again.
