🎣 Fishing in Madeira: Top Sport Fishing Trips & Boat Charters

Madeira isn’t just a paradise for hikers and sun-seekers — it’s also one of the best sport fishing destinations in the Atlantic. From thrilling big game fishing to relaxed bottom fishing near the coast, Madeira’s deep waters promise unforgettable experiences for anglers of all levels.

Whether you're chasing blue marlin, tuna, or simply looking for a great day out at sea, Madeira has fishing trips that fit your style — and your group size.

The waters around Madeira are deep just a few miles from shore — making it one of the rare places where you can catch big game without sailing far. Add to that the warm Gulf Stream currents and excellent weather all year round, and you've got a recipe for incredible fishing conditions.

You might reel in:

• Blue Marlin, White Marlin, Dorado (Mahi-Mahi)

• Wahoo, Bonito, and more

• Groupers, Snapper, and other coastal species (on bottom fishing trips)
