IntermediateMachico / Caniçal, Madeira
Southeast Banks & Desertas
Productive fishing grounds off Madeira's southeast coast and near the Desertas Islands. Known for consistent action on tuna, wahoo, and seasonal marlin. Slightly longer run from Funchal but often less pressured than the main grounds. The Desertas Islands Marine Reserve boundary offers excellent structure fishing.
