The warm summer months bring vast schools of skipjack tuna and Dorado inshore and blue marlin follow the feast. In turn, the cold green water of winter sees huge shoals of big-eye tuna chasing mackerel and scads providing anglers with what is possibly the finest tuna fishing anywhere.
Add to that the chance of legendary blue-fin tuna, or a high-jumping mako shark, and we think you’ll know why Madeira is quickly becoming an international hot spot for first class fishing (tagging and releasing 99% of our catch).
​
With only a 3 ½ hrs flight from UK and excellent weather almost guaranteed throughout the season, Madeira has a lot to offer both dedicated anglers and those looking for a family holiday with a few days out. Funchal has wonderful hotels, excellent seafood restaurants, and the whole town has a colonial charm which will leave a lasting impression.
Mark Lee Early in life he sat his coastal skipper license and from that moment on, he focused and directed his life to become a top Sport Fisher Captain and master the trade.

QUINTA DE PENHA FRANCA 4 star
This gracious old manor house is now a hotel, with an annexe containing 33 sea-view rooms, a balcony, and a terrace.
Rooms in the older section have high ceilings, thick walls, casement windows, and a scattering of old-fashioned furniture, including some family antiques. Rooms in the modern annex, completed late in 1999, are more contemporary, with traditional country-house designs. All units have neatly kept bathrooms equipped with shower-tub combinations. Like a family home, the quinta is chock-full of antiques, paintings, and silver.
Near the Savoy, it stands in a spacious garden on a ledge overlooking the harbour. It’s a short walk to Funchal’s bazaars and is opposite the ancient chapel. Unlike most hotels on Madeira, many of this hotel’s rooms have connecting doors, which can be opened and rented as two rooms for families with one to three children.
