Spend five private hours with Captain Makis and first mate Ilias around Santorini’s caldera, fishing, snorkeling, and stopping at quiet beaches. Your catch becomes part of a Greek seafood lunch with salad, tzatziki, meatballs, drinks, and a possible Oia sunset from the boat.

“These two men were AMAZING throughout our entire trip. From our first steps aboard the ship they made sure we had a great experience. It was a tad cold and windy, they made sure we were comfortable, had fun and stayed as warm as possible. The guides entertained us with stories and the history of the island during our fishing and the BBQ after our catch was wonderful. It was too cold to swim, but they found a great sunny spot for us to hang out and eat/drink. They pulled over and put us in a prime spot to watch the infamous Oia sunset We would suggest this to anyone…”
