Amazing day on the water in the Santorini caldera! - This is a must-do while in Santorini! Our day started cloudy/rainy, but the boat and crew kept us entertained. Mikas and Elias were outstanding and extremely knowledgeable about the Greek islands and fishing. The stories Captain Mikas told of his childhood fishing were incredible. The lunch barbecue of the fish we caught was delicious and then the sun came out while we were eating. To connect like that with 2 authentic Greek residents was a true highlight of our week-long stay on the island. We got to see so many inlets and churches from the water you would never see otherwise. Book this adventure without hesitation! You don’t need any fishing experience. Enjoy!

Great Fishing/Swimming Experience and Highly Recommended!!!! - Our fishing trip was amazing!! Matkis and Elias are fantastic people who know a lot about the area and about fishing and where the best spots are to find them. We also saw some beautiful views you wouldn’t be able to see unless you were on the water! We were able to catch and eat our grouper for supper! The food that was prepared was delicious and we really enjoyed swimming in the hot springs! For April the water was cold but refreshing!! I highly recommend this fishing company! They know what they are doing and you will not be disappointed!!

Awesome Fishing and Exploration! - This was a great tour. Three friends set out on the north end of Santorinu and got to see every individual island. Captain Makis was kind and generous, and first mate Elias was with us the whole time to make sure we were comfortable and had tons of interesting knowledge about the island. As a bonus, we caught three beautiful blue fin tuna and a grouper. Would recommend this tour to anyone!

Best Experience on our Honeymoon - We were in Santorini for our honeymoon and were lucky enough to be gifted this experience with Makis and Elias. We traveled around Europe for two weeks, and this was by far the best experience of our trip. From the start it was a 5 star experience. We were given a history of the island while going to certain areas where no other boats travel to. Throw on top the snorkeling, great meal, and sunset. There's a reason this tour gets 5 stars. You will not regret it.

Kept us Laughing the entire time Holy Cow! - Captain Makis and Ilias were absolutely phenomenal, and provided my family and I the most fun and memorable experience. We got to see the volcanic islands of Santorini up close, viewing sites most tourists don’t get to see. We even caught a blue fin tuna that Makis and Ilias fully prepared (along with some unbelievable tomato fritters) that we consider the best meal of our trip. Ending with views of the Santorini sunset was icing on the cake. An absolute must during your stay in Santorini!

Greece Trip - This was the best excursion on our two week Greece vacation. Not only was the captain and mate so informative, the boat was beautiful and perfect, timing relaxed, scenery and areas visited unique, but the entrepreneurial story was fantastic, however, I have not even reached the best part……we caught a barracuda fish and the captain cooked it, along with a meal and was the best food we had the entire trip. I can’t say enough about it! There aren’t words to describe what a gastronomic experience it was. We swam and laid out on the boat while they cooked! The service and attention to detail was above and beyond. I highly HIGHLY recommend booking with this company!!! We would go back to Santorini just to go out with them again!!!

Absolute 10/10 - The most welcoming staff, and the best experience in Santorini. The tastiest lunch as well. We even caught some small fishes and then put them back in the sea. Absolute 10/10 experience.

Good experience - Went fishing with 3 other friends. Boat is beautiful. Captain and mate are friendly and very knowledgeable. Fishing is difficult in Santorini as water gets very deep, very quickly off of the coast. Trolling close to coast line is what we did and caught 1 golden grouper around 5 lbs.
