Shark Fishing in Albufeira

You can't get a group of blokes together on a boat on your Albufeira stag do and not expect a few Jaws quotes.

Stand back, we got this...

"For that, you get the head, the tail, the whole damned thing."

Actually, you don't get to keep the fish, this is sustainable catch-and-release fishing allowing the sharks to live to breed another day.

But what you do get is your own private charter with all the rods, tackle and bait for you to start reeling them in.

"It's a carcharodon carcharias. It's a Great White."

Nope, you'll be fishing for reef sharks. Mackerel, grouper, conger eel, snapper and dogfish and are also common in the area.

"There's too many captains on this island..."

Actually, there'll only be one, he's a really nice guy and will speak English. He's a proper fisherman and knows these waters like the back of his boat so you can be sure you'll find fish rich hunting grounds.

"Nobody's going in."

This is all about the fishing so there are no swim breaks.

"Smile you son of a bitch!"

But you will be able to take photos holding your catches.

"You're gonna need a bigger boat."

No, the boat will be plenty "bigger" enough for you and the guys (although it might vary from those on the images). And anyway, with his wedding night coming up it's probably best to reassure the groom that size doesn't matter.

"Back home, we get a taxidermy man, he's gonna have a heart attack when he sees what I brung him!"

Job done.

Drops mic and exits.

Please note; You'll have to purchase a €5 fishing licence on the day.
