The Azores are renowned for excellent blue marlin fishing and are considered by many to be the home of the giants. The pristine waters of the Azores with their beautiful Atlantic island seascapes are the ultimate destination for anglers in search of granders and the fishing experience of a lifetime.
Brasilia Fishing Charters specialise in giant blue marlin fishing charters and operate with 3 boats from Horta Marina on the Island of Faial, Azores.
Brasilia - 40’ Blackwatch built in 2005 and custom rigged especially for the giant blue marlin of the Azores. A spacious cockpit, Scoponich chair and one-piece riggers by Rupp along with ample power from twin 450 hp Cummins ‘Diamond Series’. The Blackwatch hull provides a superb ride, excellent manouvreability, comfort and stability, both for running and for working fish.
Xácara - 36’ Hatteras powered by twin 300 hp Cummins B-series motors. Murray Bro’s chair and one-piece riggers by Rupp. The Xacara has gained worldwide recognition for its fishing exploits in the Azores and is the boat that caught the current world record blue marlin on 80lb line.
Makaira - 30’ Merry Fisher powered by twin 210 hp Cummins B-series motors (newly installed in 2009). The hull provides excellent maneuverability and combines a spacious 9m2 cockpit, HD chair, Lee riggers and Simrad electronics.
The Makaira is well suited to light tackle fishing and may be available for ‘bare-boat’ charter to visiting professional crews on request.
Standard tackle on all boats is 130lb class with Shimano Tiagra reels, custom rods by Biscayne or Pat Brian and Sufix or Momoi topshots on dacron. Lighter tackle is available on request.
