Sea Angling report

Best fish that we have reports of this season is a Blue Martlin of 737lbs to Portuguese angler Joao Brito, good as this fish was, it pales into insignificance compared with the Algarve record of 1306lbs. 

I have seen pictures of some nice landed at Porimao, 90lbs conger and a White Shark over 2000lbs, taken unfortunately in a net, but it does indicate the potential for those willing to put in time and effort.

From the beaches have come some nice Sea bass. One of the best catches made by local angler Alexander Alves from Carvoeiro was Bass of 15lbs and 17lbs on the same day. Bass around the coast of Portugal go to 30lbs in weight.

A new European record Swordfish has been caught out of Sesimbra this year at a weight of 572lbs.


With the increasing reported catches of superb sea fish of numerous species all around the Algarve coast reaching out across the World, it is obvious, from the increase in the enquiries we are receiving from our web site visitors, that there is a demand that needs to be satisfied. Our regular source of providers are unable to cover all these enquiries for bookings, so we are looking to provide a directory of boats, their operating locations and charges in an attempt to help satisfy these visitor needs, you could be part of this, so we ask:


Charter Boat Operators.

To help us help you, we ask anyone who owns or operates a well equipped angling boat on mainland Portugal to contact us by email with details of what you are catching, your services and related prices and port you operate from so that we can recommend your services to our many enquiries for sea angling around the coast of Portugal.

Skippers, tell me about your service.
