Madeira Showcase: BADCO Season 3 Premiere

After fishing the Blue Marlin World in Cape Verde on BCS150, the BADCO Team takes off to Madeira, Portugal to join the BCS175 and BC43.

Upon arriving at Madeira, the team tours BCS175 for the first time, astonished by its size, heli hangar, submarine, and larger crew. BC43 has been successfully craned off and they get to work, preparing her for the adventure ahead, her maiden fishing journey begins in Madeira and will continue to Bazaruto, Mozambique next.

As Madeira cooled off, the fishing days were slow but allowed the team to get used to the newly fitted BC43 and dial her in appropriately under the leadership of Captain Steve Lassley and they welcomed Ryan as part of the fishing team, who previously held the position of Chief Engineer on BCS175, BCS150 and BCS140 but remarkable fishing history earned him a spot on the BADCO Fishing Team.

BCS150 makes its 1900km journey up from Cape Verde and the two motherships meet off the coast of Madeira for the first time, showing up in full fashion while flying the Bell 505 Chopper above the action.

Days later, BC57 arrives having to make a pit stop in the Canaries for fuel. With five of the 12 BADCO boats together in one place, Anthony throws a party with 150+ locals and friends to celebrate.

The following day, it's the BADCO Madeira showcase. BCS175, BCS150, BC57, BC43, BC33 and the BADCO helicopter have some fun in the open ocean in front of the picturesque Madeira landscape and then tie up for the most epic raft-up to date. This episode is one for the books and not to be missed.

Season Three begins NOW!

Came for the fishing, I stay for the lifestyle. Thank you Anthony for a glimpse into a different world than my own. You are a gem of a human and seem like a genuine good dude. I appreciate you including the lifestyle as well as the fishing. Thank you for taking me along.... Pinch me.

Greetings from South Africa. Looking forward to welcoming you.

[Embate]

This is unbelievable. You are doing more to promote Madeira and my country of Portugal than most of our promotion agencies. Thank you for that genuine service.

I'am like Anthony, at a loss for words.. What an amazing achivement to have all the vessels in Madeira. I'm still in awe of the production quality, the team and the passion that seeps through the screen. All smiles and best of luck!

Thanks Anthony for all of this. We fish for striped, blue and black marlin and large tuna from trailer boats down here in New Zealand. We are truly blessed. Nice to see a kiwi in your crew. We too thank our parents that we can watch you live many of our dreams. Tēnā koutou...

Two years ago I was in the middle of the worst time of my life. Literally, mentally and physically in a place that didnt look good. I came across your videos at that time and I know this sounds ridiculous, but they helped get me through that time. Your crew, the work they put in, and your story reminded me of the good times. Sure I had my family and friends helping me, but you and your journey were equally inspiring. Im still dealing with a major health issue, but as I sit here and watch this video, my attitude towards it and life in general are what matter. Fishing and the relationships I've made as a result of it are exemplified in your videos. Life and the way you approach what it throws at us are what matter. Not even sure if you will read this, but please keep doing what your doing and keep up the good work you do. Thank you!

Incredible. By far the best/most prepared fishing army I have ever seen

[welewisiii]

anthony please don’t stop dreaming—- inspiring for the rest of us

[johndaniels]

Love love the videos, avid fisherman myself in the Florida panhandle, you sir are living the dream and it's awesome to watch the videos of these massive Marlin, exceptional job Bad company and crew

[justinmitzel]

Living a dream most cannot even fathom... incredible

[MajorLazer]

See I generally have no interest in fishing but simply the boating and aviation around the entire operation makes this channel a goldmine! Thanks Anthony

[jherndon]

Had the pleasure of working for Anthony at loanDepot for a few years. Left in 2017, one of the worst decisions I have ever made. Met and chatted with him several times, was always super cool and engaging. He would talk to you, not at you. Was able to check out one of his boats in 2014. It was amazing, but nothing like these battlewagons. Crazy to see the evolution of the fleet. Congrats to him for living out his dreams.
