Full Day Marlin and Bluefin Fishing Trip

Marlin and bluefin fishing trip from Marina de Faro aboard the Katjoa with Captain Pedro Casanova, targeting blue marlin, white marlin and bluefin tuna between 10 and 25 miles offshore along the Algarve coastline. This is big game fishing at its most serious, using professional offshore trolling techniques and equipment in waters that offer a genuine shot at some of the most powerful and celebrated sport fish in the Atlantic. Catch and release is strictly mandatory. All fishing licences and equipment included and the trip is priced per experience for up to five people, suitable for experienced anglers and adventurous beginners alike.

Portugal is the only country in Europe where you can realistically target granders, the record-breaking marlins that define a lifetime of sport fishing, and the Algarve coastline between 10 and 25 miles offshore is where that possibility lives. Captain Pedro holds tournament wins across the All Millionaire Pacific Circuit, the Los Cabos Billfish Tournament and the South Africa World Championship, and the Katjoa was upgraded this winter 2026 with new omni sonar and electric Minn Kota, technology that data from major tournaments suggests can increase catch rates by 60 to 84 percent compared to boats without omnidirectional sonar. When you are targeting marlin and bluefin, the captain and the technology aboard make all the difference.
