I have to say these guys know what they are doing.  It is very clear that they know the area they are fishing, and know exactly what spots to hit.  Very professional/knowledgeable Capt’n and crew.  They provided all the food (which was excellent) and beverages.  All we had to do was show up at the boat.  To top it all off we landed a 750lb Blue Marlin.  Went home with plenty of photos and memories.  I will definitely book these guys on our next trip.  Once again thanks for the day guys.

Thanks,

Great boat and and a very friendly crew. Unfortunately, the fish weren’t biting. We really enjoyed being out on the water! ?

I highly recommend.

Captain Furtado and his assistant delivered a nice leasurely coastal trolling experience (we caught a few baracuda’s, some lizard fish and some groupers) on a quality boat and with a top quality service and equipment. He knows the waters and the fish and speaks excellent English. Furthermore, he was very attentive to our 4 teenagers, explaining everything about the boat and the fish, and the ocean and the equipment, allowing them to go everywhere on the boat and try everything. If you look for a good fishing experience for a big family group, look no further. Book a trip with captain Furtado.

We chartered a whole day big game fishing trip with Alabote July 11th 2017 and had an amazing day at sea. We were told by the captain and owner Jose that this was our home for the day. And the boat was well stocked with water, soft drinks, beer, wine, snacks and lunch all included in the price. The lunch was prepared by the skipper Luis.

Our crew Joâo and Luis were both very friendly and welcoming and did their upmost to see to our comfort. Their hard work with tireless search for fish throughout the day was awarded with apparently the first yellow fin tuna of the season.  After a 2,5 hour fight the 125 kg (290 lb) beauty was caught. During the day we also had the company of countless spotted dolphins and even some sperm whales.

Getting back ashore, we were greeted by Jose, and by his discretion we were received by Chief Joâo at La Cantina who prepared a delicious meal of sushi and grilled tuna steak.

We highly recommend Alabote, and if you are considering big game fishing in Ponta Delgada, Alabote is the boat to book. We would definitely book again for our next trip to the Azores and Ponta Delgada.

We had a fantastic experience with captain Furtado and his crew. This is one of the best experiences we will remember. The boat was very clean, the food was delicious, the fishing equipment was very professional and you can notice the captain was putting all his heart into his work. It was an amazing day, that we recommend to all and we will definitely be back to see him off for another wonderful trip.
