Sport Fishing in Madeira
Deep-sea fishing charters for marlin, tuna, and other Atlantic game fish
Tour Details
About Sport Fishing
Madeira is world-renowned as a big game fishing destination, with the warm Atlantic waters attracting some of the ocean's most prized species. Blue marlin, the ultimate trophy fish, can exceed 500kg in these waters, while Atlantic bluefin tuna, bigeye tuna, and wahoo provide year-round action.
Fishing charters operate from Funchal Marina using purpose-built sport fishing boats equipped with fighting chairs, professional tackle, and experienced crews. Half-day trips target tuna and smaller game fish, while full-day expeditions venture further offshore for marlin and other billfish.
Madeira holds multiple world records for blue marlin catches, and the fishing grounds are just 20-30 minutes from port, meaning more time fishing and less time traveling. Whether you're an experienced angler or first-timer, crews provide all instruction and assistance needed.
