Private Five-Hour Sport-Fishing Charter from Morro Jable — You Set the Plan

What is this tour like?

Five hours out of Morro Jable, the big-game port on the south of Fuerteventura, with the boat to your group: €400 for the charter, up to four people, hotel transfer, snack and drinks in the price. On a private charter it is you who decides the fishing plan, and the captain advises by season and forecast.

Morro Jable is where the island's deep-water fishing works from, and this operator's page is unusually frank about what swims past and when. In summer, he writes, there is blue marlin, white marlin, wahoo, dorado, small tunas and barracuda. The big tunas pass twice a year: first the skipjack, bonito and yellowfin of 15–25 kg in February, then a month later the bluefin and bigeye of 200–300 kg; around September the skipjack come through again, followed by yellowfin and then bigeye and bluefin. His own conclusion is that deep-sea fishing is a good option all year round, with the honest rider that this kind of fishing does not always produce a fish — but that when a rod does go off, it is a good one.

What the private charter buys is the decision. Book the boat privately and you set the plan for the day; the captain will recommend one kind of fishing or another depending on the season and the forecast, and he says outright that with children aboard it may be better to look for small tunas near the coast and fish the bottom for a few hours. The boat can also be taken out for jigging or spinning. There is no fixed timetable: dawn departures are possible and, in his words, thoroughly recommended, as are evening ones that come back after dark.

The price is €400 for five hours private, printed by the operator directly against €100 per person for the shared version of the same trip. The maximum is four people. Transfer, snack and drinks are included in the price. Bookings go through the site's form, by phone or by WhatsApp on a line the operator says is answered around the clock.
