It's between Vilamoura and Albufeira, you'll need to go to either of these ports to find a charter boat. June is a bit early in the season for the marlin fishing but there should be some decent sharking to be had (blues and small makos). There can be good bottom fishing there (corvinas to 50 lb and pargo to 20 lb+ but I'd be very surprised if the charter boats put you on them.

Cheers Spike, I aint that bothered about what I catch, I was hopeing to get out and catch some new species, but if I dont get out I will try some of the local areas and have a chuck from some of the rocky marks.

You could contact my friends Bob and Tony who runs a charter boat from Vila Real de Saint Antonio. It's about 50 miles from where you'll be staying but if you have a hire car it would only take about an hour on the motorway. His website is http://www.reefcatfishing.com/
