Big game fishing in Madeira is among the best in Europe. Here you can chase blue marlin, tuna, and mahi-mahi in deep, warm waters just minutes from shore. With ideal conditions year-round, skilled captain, and real trophy potential, Madeira is a true paradise for anglers seeking excitement and powerful battles.

Inshore Trolling

Inshore trolling in Madeira offers exciting action close to the coastline. Anglers target species like skipjack tuna, bonito, dolphin fish, and small amberjacks while enjoying calm waters and stunning island scenery. The fishing is fast-paced, family-friendly, and ideal for beginners or anyone wanting steady bites. With warm waters year-round, Madeira’s inshore trolling delivers fun, accessible sportfishing for all skill levels.

Bottom Fishing/Mixed Fishing

Bottom fishing in Madeira offers steady action over rocky reefs and deep ledges close to shore. Anglers target snapper, grouper, moray eels, pargo, and various colorful reef species. It’s a relaxed and family-friendly style of fishing with lots of bites and great variety. Thanks to Madeira’s warm waters and rich seabed, bottom fishing provides fun, accessible year-round sport for all experience levels.

What People Say

“Frothy has his spread. Tried-and-true, he knew what lure he wanted where: five hooked lines. One way back with a ballyhoo for a white, and then four out of the riggers with bigger lures, remarkably handmade by Frothy himself.”
