The Azores of Portugal are an excellent destination for deep sea saltwater fishing, with great opportunities to catch a wide variety of fish off their shores. There are several charter fishing boats that are available for tourists to choose from in the town of Horta, which is on the island of Faial in the Azores, as well as on the island of Madeira. Charter fishing boats in the Azores head offshore for fantastic big game fishing in the Atlantic Ocean for giant blue marlin, white marlin, swordfish, bluefin tuna, yellowfin tuna, bigeye tuna, dolphin, wahoo, hammerhead shark, and bluefish.
