We specialize in trolling for game species and have been operating out of Ponta Delgada, on the island of São Miguel which is a part of the Azores archipelago, since 1998. A typical coastal fishing trip includes light tackle fishing for Barracuda, Atlantic Bonito, Bluefish, Jacks, Mackerel, Grouper, and many others, and can be done throughout the year. Your experienced crew is made up of an expert captain and two deck mates, one of whom is a marine biologist. The whole crew has extensive experience of fishing the local waters, having lived and fished in the Azores all their lives. You will fish aboard the “Alabote,” a 32’ Bayliner Explorer 3270 that was built in the USA and has undergone a full restoration by the captain and owner of the company. The boat is well equipped with everything you need for fishing, with a very spacious deck, a Game Fisher fighting chair, a range of Garmin electronics and full safety equipment. The boat is powered by twin 250 HP Yanmar engines and can comfortably cater for up to six anglers. You will be fishing with top of the range fishing equipment with Shimano light tackle of 20, 30, and 50 lb and Australian style bucket and stand-up harnesses are taken on board as well. Big game fishing trips for tuna and marlins are also available under request or please find our other listing. Tuna season is usually from mid-April to the end of June but the last few years were great for Tuna fishing throughout the year. Marlin season is from August to early October, while Sharks are more commonly caught during summer months. The charter will also include water, beer, and even red and white wine! Lunch is available on full-day trips - you’ll enjoy some of the tastiest fish, chicken, and chips. When needed, live bait is caught before the trip and included in the price, as well as catch cleaning and filleting. No minimum age for children, so make sure to bring them and create unforgettable family memories! If you have any questions, we can answer those through GetMyBoat’s messaging platform before you pay.

Jose Furtado is 60+ years old and been an ‘Ocean Skipper’ since 1993. José has been a fisherman all his life and started fishing from the rocks when he was just 3 years old. At the age of 12, he bought his first boat, a Kayak of 3.60 m that allowed him to fish out at sea. Starting at the age of 16, we build and rebuild three different boats, and finally, when he was 35, he acquired and rebuild the ALABOTE which has become a well-reputed and professionally run sport fishing charter boat.
