Marina da Calheta
Calheta, MA, Portugal
Laat Grand Holiday Tours een onvergetelijke sfeer creëren van kustvisserij in het water van de Atlantische Oceaan nabij het eiland Madeira. De zeer ervaren bemanning is gespecialiseerd in verschillende soorten technieken: licht materiaal, bodemvissen, jiggen, zwaar materiaal, trollen, en was een herhaalde deelnemer.
Het avontuur begint aan boord van het 27’ Jeanneau Merry Fisher motorjacht, volledig uitgerust met het beste vismateriaal en elektronica. De boot is uitgerust met een gevechtsstation, outriggers, Shimano molens van 50 lbs tot 130 lbs voor het trollen, Daiwa en Shimano elektronische molens voor jiggen en bodemvissen. Ook het GPS-systeem en fishfinder geven hogere kansen op succes om de grootste vangst binnen te halen.
Hun BZU motorjacht werd gebouwd in 2010 en werd in 2014 speciaal uitgerust voor oceaanvisserij. Aangedreven door een Nanni Diesel 200 PK motor, bespaart dit vaartuig uw tijd om naar de beste visplekken te gaan met een snelheid van 22 knopen.
Er is alle benodigde uitrusting aan boord voor de vangst van uw dromen, u kunt soorten verwachten zoals Wahoo, Tonijn, Marlin, Barracuda, Grouper, Amberjack, en vele anderen. De bemanning van het jacht zal graag de verse vis schoonmaken en fileren zodat u deze kunt meenemen, en delen de beste recepten voor elke soort. Als extra optie kunnen zij plannen maken en uw vangst laten bereiden door een van de beste restaurants in de jachthaven.
Drankjes en snacks zijn bij de prijs inbegrepen.
Sluit u aan bij de bemanning van Grand Holiday Tours en geniet van uw onvergetelijke viservaring in de Atlantische Oceaan!

highlight of our holiday
Bottom fishing 2 hours 8.00 AM on December 20, 2025 • 2 adults
If you're looking for the perfect sea fishing experience on Madeira, book with Captain Alex and his fantastic partner Lucie. From the moment we boarded their spotless, well-equipped boat, everything felt professional and welcoming.
Alex is an outstanding captain – knowledgeable, patient, and truly passionate about the local waters. He tailored the trip perfectly to our group, sharing expert tips and ensuring a safe, enjoyable day out.
Lucie made it even better with her warm hospitality: keeping us refreshed with drinks and snacks, and sharing great stories about the island. Together, they’re a brilliant team – friendly, attentive, and genuinely caring.
The views of Madeira’s dramatic coastline from the water were breathtaking, and the whole trip ran smoothly from start to finish.
Highly recommend Captain Alex and Lucie – easily the highlight of our holiday! Five stars and already planning to come back. Thank you both!

Half day Mixed Fishing Trip Pm on August 5, 2025 • 2 adults
We had a wonderful afternoon with Captain Alex and his wife Lucy. As absolute beginners without experience, the two have explained and shown us everything with a lot of patience and passion. We also learned a lot about Madeira and the local conditions. When fishing we caught a large number of Red Snappers and also two trigger fish, puffer fish etc. On the return trip to the harbor we could still observe a large number of dolphins, which have pulled their way directly in front of and under the boat. All in all a perfect afternoon. 100% recommendation, we will definitely come back if we are in Madeira again. Thank you both!

Magical Day
Half Day Mixed Fishing Trip Am on November 11, 2025 • 4 adults
We had the most amazing day! Everything was amazing.
Brought home 10 snapper and 6 trigger fish + many others we threw back. 1 little octopus too.
The guiding service was amazing, and their energy and hospitality matched it.
From the first communication through to landing back at the marina all was flawless.
We did a half day trip with mixed trolling and bottom fishing. What a treat to fish with Shimano Stella reels too.
Thank you so much for a phenomenal day.
Will definitely do again the next time we are on Madeira.

Great reasult event with banana on board!
Winter Special: Pay 4 H fish 5 H AM on December 28, 2025 • 2 adults • 1 child
Even though we accidentally brought a banana on board, our catch was very successful! We caught over a dozen fish of various species. Our son had a wonderful introduction to the world of fishing, and Alex and Lucy made sure everything was perfect. Thank you, and we wish you many more wonderful catches to the tunes of Ozzy Osbourne.

Big game Fishing 4 hours AM on July 9, 2025 • 2 adults
Wir hatten heute ein fantastisches Erlebnis beim Big Game Fishing auf Madeira mit Alex und seiner Frau Lucy. Auch wenn wir leider keinen Fisch gefangen haben, war der Ausflug dennoch ein absolutes Highlight!
Jeder Tag ist Angeln aber nicht jeder ist Fischtag.
Die Organisation war hervorragend, und Alex und Lucy haben uns von Anfang an herzlich empfangen und gut betreut. Ihr Fachwissen und ihre Leidenschaft für das Angeln haben den Tag wirklich bereichert. Die Atmosphäre an Bord war entspannt und freundlich - wir haben uns beide sehr wohl gefühlt.
Kleine Snacks die serviert wurden waren sehr lecker, dazu gab es eine Vielzahl von Getränken, die unseren Durst gelöscht haben und für gute Laune sorgten.
Obwohl wir keinen Fisch gefangen haben, war die gesamte Erfahrung mehr als super, wir haben während der Fahrt sogar nochmal um 2h verlängert. Die atemberaubende Landschaft Madeiras und die Möglichkeit, den Ozean hautnah zu erleben, machen jeden Moment wertvoll.
Während der Fahrt haben wir direkt neben dem Boot fliegende Fische gesehen, einfach unglaublich und einzigartig, weiter konnten wir auch noch Delphine beobachten.
Wir können diesen Ausflug wärmstens empfehlen und freuen uns schon jetzt auf das nächste Mal - wir werden mit Sicherheit wieder teilnehmen!
Ein großes Dankeschön an Alex und Lucy für ein unvergessliches Erlebnis! 🐟🌊✨
