Over the weekend of the 7th and 8th July 14 teams participated in the Madeira Marlin tournament. One team from the AZORES chartered our boat SAVAGE (bareback charter) and within 30 minutes of the tournament starting had hooked up with what was to be the only blue marlin caught and released over the two fishing days of the competition.

SAVAGE has a historical background being the oldest purpose built boat in the local fleet and is probably responsible for more marlin captures than any other boat.

She might not be conventional looking now but in her day was the 'creme de la creme' of local game fishing boats.
