The tropical island of Príncipe is one of the world’s least explored and most exciting Big-Game Sport Fishing destinations. "Billfish Principe" at Bom Bom Island Resort on Príncipe Island, is where you can target the elusive large Blue Marlin and world record size sailfish that have rightfully made the area so famous, as well has its vast variety of game fish.

Captain Charlie Smith and his crew (that includes 'Mako' the boat mascot) pride themselves in giving the best possible experience using a friendly and professional English speaking crew. This is proven by our clients that return year after year. We also speak fluent Dutch and some German. 2012 will be our 6th year in Madeira. We hold all local tourist and charter licenses and are fully insured. The crew all have full commercial yacht master qualifications and are very experienced and dedicated fisherman.

BahamaLures are designed, developed and ocean tested in the Bahamas. They look and catch fish like nothing else out there. All handmade individually, these lures are true works of art, featuring a wide range of colors for the head, eyes and skirt. The eyes are made in house and are unique, allowing the lures to take on a life of their own.
