I’m Captain Josué Nunes, a big game fishing captain based in Tavira and the 2022 Portuguese National Big Game Fishing Champion, as well as the 2021 Vice National Champion. With years of offshore fishing experience on the Algarve coast, I specialize in targeting bluefin tuna, marlin, mahi mahi, and other prized Atlantic pelagic species using proven techniques, local knowledge, and a deep understanding of these waters. Whether you are an experienced angler searching for serious offshore action or a family looking to experience the excitement of fishing in the Algarve for the first time, my goal is always the same: to provide a safe, professional, and memorable day on the water. From calm mornings off Tavira to adrenaline filled battles offshore, every trip aboard Áqua is built around real fishing, local experience, and unforgettable moments on the Algarve coast.
