Katherine B Sport Fishing
Charter and fishing trips · Madeira
A big-game boat working Madeiran water for blue marlin and tuna, under a skipper with a long published record in the fishery, and tagging and releasing its billfish.
The vessel Katherine B, skippered by Peter Bristow, fishing Madeira for blue marlin and tuna, with the boat described as fully equipped for big game.
THE RELEASE POLICY IS THE PART WORTH READING TWICE. The operator states that it practises tag and release for billfish. Madeira's reputation rests on very large blue marlin, a grander fishery is exactly where a release policy matters most, and an operator publishing one is making a checkable commitment rather than a marketing claim.
The site cites two magazine features about its skipper. FishingHQ does not repeat what they say about him: whether a captain is among the best in the world is not a fact this site is in a position to assert, and the useful facts — the boat, the water, the fish, the policy — do not depend on it.
What they cover: Sea fishing.
How you book: Charter the whole boat, Ask the operator.
Trips the operator advertises:
- Big-game sport fishing charters.
- Tag and release practised for billfish.
Where it fishes: Madeiran water for big game, on the operator's own account. The island's blue-marlin ground lies offshore of it rather than at any named mark.
Permitted fishery: Atlantic bluefin tuna may only be targeted under a permit or programme run by a fisheries authority. This listing records that the operator advertises the trip. It is not a check that the operator holds a current permit, and FishingHQ does not hold the permit register. The rules for each UK jurisdiction are set out on the atlantic bluefin tuna page.

The operator's own site was read on 29 August 2026 and describes a named vessel, a named skipper, the fish, a stated tag-and-release policy for billfish, a phone number and an email address.
