The short version

A place on board is €80 per angler for those six hours, with a maximum of ten people and your own rod — rods are not shared, and each angler gets one, two or three of them.

The whole boat for your group only is €750 for up to six people; from seven people it is €120 extra per trip. At six anglers the private boat works out at €125 each against €80 on the shared trip, so the whole boat is a decision about privacy and pace, not about saving money.

Free hotel transfers in the south of the island are included on all trips, and the fishing licence is covered. Two things to plan for: payment is cash only, no debit or credit cards, and no deposit is required to hold the date.

What's included

  • Free hotel transfers in the south of Gran Canaria (all trips)
  • Fishing licence (per the operator's site)
  • No fishing rod sharing — 1, 2 or 3 rods for each occupant
  • Whole boat, 1 up to 6 persons
  • Free hotel transfers in the south of Gran Canaria

Not included

  • Card payment — cash only: 'You can pay only in cash. We don't accept debit or credit cards'
  • Deposit — none required
  • From 7 persons: €120 extra per trip
  • Card payment — cash only

Good to know

  • Anglers who want a full big-game day without chartering the whole boat; companions can come as spectators.
  • No experience needed — the crew rigs and coaches. Six hours at sea, so some tolerance for swell.
  • Cash for the full amount, sunscreen, a hat, sunglasses and a windproof layer; seasickness tablets if needed.
  • Groups who want the boat to themselves — families, friends, a stag party that fishes. Six are in the base price, seven or more for €120 more per trip.
  • No experience needed; the crew handles rigging and coaching.
  • Cash for the full amount, sun protection, a windproof layer and seasickness tablets if needed.
  • Cavalier & Blue Marlin, Calle Puerto Base, Puerto Rico de Gran Canaria, 35130 Mogán — Porto Novo harbour (27.782597, -15.711829). Trips run 9 am to 3 pm; free hotel transfers in the south are included, pickup time confirmed on booking.

Shared Big Game Fishing — 6 Hours from Puerto Rico, One Angler One Rod

With the help of the Cavalier crew, I was able to catch a tuna of about 350kg. It was an epic fight that I'll never forget. The two guys from Cavalier are super friendly and relaxed. They're also true big game fishing pros and have excellent tackle on board. In addition, the way the fish was handled was fantastic. No obsession with photos – very quick release.

Shared Big Game Fishing — 6 Hours from Puerto Rico, One Angler One Rod

Such a pleasant day at the sea. Almost one hour trip to our fishing spot. Lots of wind and big waves. The crew knows where these fishes are: bonitos, barracudas, stingray etc. Each person got to reel a good catch in. Some even twice. I was fishing a big one from the bottom and I got it, as well as bonito. We had some good conversations as well. You know, in the end, it's not about fish, it's about fishing.

Shared Big Game Fishing — 6 Hours from Puerto Rico, One Angler One Rod

Shared game fishing. I went with other people and it is the game: you get a rod and you have a chance to catch or not. This time it was another person's luck. But the crew was very friendly and we had a great time.

FAQ

How long is a fishing trip and when does it leave?
Six hours, 9 am to 3 pm, from the Porto Novo harbour in Puerto Rico. Both the shared trip and the private charter run the same window; the pickup time for the free hotel transfer is confirmed when the booking is accepted.
Do I need a fishing licence?
The operator lists the fishing licence among the things covered on its trips, so you do not arrange one yourself. Bring your identity document; everything else on board — rods, tackle, the crew's work — comes with the boat.
Can I pay by card?
No. The operator writes it plainly: payment is in cash only, debit and credit cards are not accepted. On the other hand no deposit is required to hold your date, so you settle up on the day.
Do I share a rod with other anglers?
Not on this boat. The operator's rule is one angler, one rod: no rod sharing, and each occupant gets one, two or three rods. The shared trip takes up to ten people, the private charter up to six.
What if we are more than six people?
The private charter price of €750 covers one to six. From seven people the operator adds €120 per trip. If the group is larger still, the shared trip is the format that scales — it takes up to ten anglers at €80 each.

Both boats leave at the same hour and fish the same water, so the choice is about the deck rather than the destination.

A shared deck or your own?

The shared trip fills up to ten anglers and is the cheaper way to spend a day offshore; the private charter caps at six and lets your group set the rhythm — when to move, how long to stay on a mark, when to call it a day.

Which is cheaper for our group?

It depends only on how many of you there are: on the shared trip the price per angler multiplies by heads, while the whole boat is a flat fee.

AnglersSharedPrivate boat
Two€160€750
Four€320€750
Six€480€750

The private boat never becomes the cheaper option per head, and above six it gets more expensive again: from seven people the operator adds €120 to the trip.

What should you sort out before the trip?

The transfer is free from hotels in the south — name your hotel when you book and the operator sets the pickup time. Nobody guarantees a catch either: six hours offshore is six hours of fishing, and what comes over the side is between you and the Atlantic.

Important

bring cash, because cards are not accepted.
