Anibal spent twenty years commercial fishing in Southern Africa before returning to his native Madeira in 1982. It was at this time that he met Roddy Hayes and eventually became the Captain of the 'Anguilla'. Their first season together was one of the most successful in history with over 80 Blue Marlin caught and tagged. The Balancal is a British built Lochin 333 Sportfisherman Flybridge, launched in 2001. She was originally commissioned as a private Sport Fishing yacht and still continues to serve her masters as such, but in the last three years has also been placed on charter, taking her guests to sea in comfort and safety.
