The trip did not happen. I was given a couple of hours notice by which time I had left for Vilamoura. I received no apology, and by the time my money had gone through the financial exchanges I was £1.50 out of pocket. It also cost me a fair amount in traveling costs, not to mention a wasted morning. I understand it is out of season but the handling of the situation was very bad.

Captain Paul and Bruno were great at explaining how to use the equipment, we went to 3 different spots to fish, everyone caught multiple though none were bigger then a foot in length or so. Good value and a nice way to spend a few hours out on the sea, would recommend.
Great reef fishing trip - thoroughly recommended!

Fantastic few hours fishing with Captain Paul & Bruno. The boat sails around 2 miles out from Vilamoura harbour. Myself / 15 yo daughter have done a few trips before and this was the best. We were catching Sea Bream rod bottom fishing almost none stop for nearly 2 hours - so many we lost count! Thoroughly recommend this trip to anyone whether you have done something similar or just a beginner. Crew were brilliant!

Nothing went as planned or hoped. Firstly we booked a morning trip online weeks before we arrived and were notified a couple days prior that they could not do the reef fishing trip that day (no explanation why) and offered an afternoon trip the next day instead- which we accepted. I am not an avid fisherman but I know morning is better than afternoon for fishing in most of the world. Anyway we accepted the alternate offer since we didn’t have too much other choice. First of the all the returning morning excursion was late coming back so we were delayed 15-20 minutes. Guide said they were rigging up fishing rods (not true). We went out about 3 miles. We fished for 2 hours and caught 4 tiny fish- worthy of bait for bigger game fishing. A few really small groupers which were thrown back. The crew seemed disinterested, shrugged their shoulders, and didn’t try to find a better spot. Then without warning we were flailing around on deck due to the waves when they turned the boat around to head back. Luckily no injuries. A complete waste of time and money. We could have caught larger fish off the marina docks. Don’t go.
And we’re back again !

Very poor service!! The worst we’ve experienced in Portugal. They cancelled our trip without enough time to look for alternatives, and spolied our last day in Portugal. Terrible experience with no sensitivity for customers; they only care about making money (over satisfying their clients).
super fishing trip

We did a reef fishing tour on February, and unfortunately the experience was very bad… We have lost half an hour to set the anchor, I understand it happen, it’s ok. No fishes, it’s ok it happen, it’s fishing But the guys during the fishing trip barely speak 3 words to us that’s not cool Absolutely not friendly, and not here to share something with the customers,
Tourist trap !!!!

We did the reef fishing. The guide was not at all friendly... he did not exchange more than 3 words in 3 hours. No explanation on how to fish and the fish and species you could have found. 30 minutes lost trying to hang the anchor that will not even be compensated for afterwards... It is still deplorable for a tourist activity to despise your customers so much. Shameful, I don't recommend this company.
