Family trip, complete beginners and very grateful to have it all explained. Ideal boat for us as we filled it. Fishing tackle excellent and promptly rigged by Orlando so that we had 5 lines out nearly all the time. Sadly no takers, but not for want of trying ! That’s the only reason I didn’t put 5* for overall experience, which might seem a bit harsh ! We did see dolphin playing with our wake and it was a great cruise around the S/W Madeira coast. Graham’s very knowledgeable on fishing and Madeira so good to have his company. Our trip was extended to get fuel in Funchal but our fishing time was more than replaced, which was good too. I’d definitely recommend Gavito as it’s good value and I think would give you as good a chance of catching fish as any boat. I hope to be back - perhaps more ” in season ” next time !

Many thanks for your revue Simon your comments are really appreciated. We are sorry that we did not put you on a fish but then that’s why it’s called fishing and not catching. We are very pleased that you consider the trip good value and look forward to seeing again, perhaps in the main season when you will have a better chance.
We hooked into three tuna at once. It was awesome! I got mine in after a lengthy fight. Then my wife sat in the chair and fought hers for an even longer amount of time. It was significantly larger than mine. Graham expertly maneuvered the boat, while Orlando and I helped my wife. When she finally got it to the boat, it was the happiest day of my life! My friends haven’t stopped giving me a hard time about getting outfished by a girl. But, I couldn’t be prouder!
It is always great to receive good reviews and we thank you very much. It is even better when our guests have such a great time fighting good sized fish and having a trip that they will remember all their lives. We pride ourselves in being a capable and knowledgeable crew and it is a pleasure to assist such nice people. We will remember this day for a very long time. Again thank you for choosing Gavito for your trip and for giving us such a great review.
Thanks for your kind review Lars. Me and David really enjoyed have you and Axel on board. Welcome back next Marlin season! Capt. Anders
A nice day out fishing, boat was fully equipped, crew was very friendly and tried everything to get you to the fish. Overall a great day!

I have had several trips to Madeira (I am returning again this coming July 2018) and on each trip I have been on Gavito multiple times with Captain Graham catching a variety of species. I have always thoroughly enjoyed the experience; Graham is extremely knowledgeable in where is best to fish and what at any specific time is the best to target, what lures and bait etc are best to use. I always feel in safe hands and enjoy Captain Grahams company along with the deckhand on board; the fishing is always good and of course its always a thrill to hook something big! My wife sometimes joins us on the boat for half a day if we are trolling and just enjoys the whole experience of viewing the beautiful island from a different perspective whilst catching some glimpses if we are lucky; of Dolphins, Turtles and Flying Fish. Gavito is well equipped and spotlessly clean, it is maintained to a very high standard.

Thank you, it was good to have you fish with us last year, we are always pleased that our guests have enjoyed their day. It is also nice when the ladies come along for the ride as it means that the fishermen can fish more often !!!! We look forward to seeing you again this July and having some more great days and good fish.
