First of all, Funchal is one of the most beautiful places I’ve ever fished. To find pelagics this close to shore is amazing. Bait is in the water by the time you are out of the harbor. I fish a lot, but mostly in-shore or near shore in Florida, where you have to motor a long way for this kind of fishing. Great instruction from Nelson and excellent teamwork. The day didnt bring us the cloud cover we’d hoped for, but the crew adapted. Soon enough Nelson spotted a swirl and called out to Captain, who immediately steered the bait into the path of a sizable Mahi. Again, great teamwork from the crew in landing the fish. Another exciting moment when we has a spearfish have a go at the bait 3 times, leaping at it… but unfortunately missing. That’s fishing. Can’t wait to see the video! All around great day on the water, fun fishing and easy conversation with Nelson along the way. Highly recommended.

Best Day with cool Buddy‘s on a good Boat

We are a family of five, Mom, Dad, & three boys ages 10, 20 & 23. We are forever struggling to find things for the whole family on holiday. The fishing trip with Balancal did not disappoint! We were out for a day on the water, so catching something was a bonus not a necessity. First three hours we lazed about eating all the food & drink prepared by tge crew - top notch. The last hour our son worked with the crew to reel in a 900 lbs, 4 meter blue marlin. It was so exciting … even for spectators! Honestly, it was a great experience & highly recommended for families with mixers ages like ours. Thanks for a great day out guys!!!
