What would you recommend to anglers fishing in Calheta, Madeira for the first time?

The fishing trip on Flipper 2 was excellent. Could not recommend it any more enthusiastically. Practical tips before your trip - Bring change for the metered parking at Calheta Marina and we would not recommend using the Calheta Marina ATM which offers a really poor exchange rate. Get any cash you need before you arrive at the Marina.

Use a local captain. If you can fish with Capt. Anders, do not hesitate to do it. My wife and I stayed at a convenient Airbnb Loft - Madeira - Funchal - Calheta.

Nice marina. Lot of game boats. Deep water fishing ground immediately outside marina. Sheltered side of the island so the sea is usually calm. Two good hotels next to marina.
