Big Game Fishing - Madeira Marlin
Madeira island offers some of the finest big game fishing grounds for Atlantic Blue Marlin. Fish close to and in excess of 1,000lbs are caught here more than anywhere else in the world.
Madeira Fishing - For a dream catch!
Although you may not see the same numbers of marlin compared to other locations, the fish of your dreams is waiting just for you here in Madeira between May and October each year. Big Eye and Bluefin Tuna are also regularly caught with the average weight for Big Eye being around 100lbs. Wahoo up to 90lbs are not uncommon and make excellent sport on light tackle.
