Best day out at sea! - What a great trip. Captain Marcos and his crew made my family very comfortable from the second we arrived. We had a great day at sea. We swam in hot springs, caught some grouper fish and swam/snorkeled again. The captain cleaned our fish and his crew prepared an amazing meal for us. Elias provided the Greek history for our trip and Maria prepared the best tomato fritters and tzatziki we’ve had in Greece so far. We highly recommend this private boat tour.

Great experience! Fantastic! - This was absolutely an amazing experience! Local captain and family owned. The fishing, snorkeling, foodie (freshly caught and tomato frites) beverages, and beauty was unbelievable!
Second to none!
Thank you for a fantastic day!

The best boat tour in Santorini - This was the absolute best boating trip I have been on! It was so relaxing, fun and adventurous! We caught a few fish then ate them as part of our lunch, snorkeled in the clear waters and toured around the waters of Santorini. The captains of the ship were AMAZING! Super personable and super informational during the trip. They served us very good food and drinks throughout our whole excursion. I would 100000 percent recommend this boat to anyone! I wish I could go again!!! Such a spacious clean boat. We had a mix of younger and older people on this boat and everyone enjoyed it the same. Out of the 3 islands we went to, this was by far my favorite activity we did (even better than a whole boat tour in mills). We love the captains of the boat they are the BEST!!! Love love loved this experience!

Highlight of Santorini! - Don’t even know where to begin! If considering a fishing charter in Santorini CHOOSE THIS ONE. My friends and I have been traveling around Europe for 3 1/2 weeks now, and we all agree this was the highlight of our entire trip. Makis and Elias are the perfect duo for this excursion and combine knowledge, humor, and hospitality all in one! This boating ride is the perfect blend of activities from sightseeing/ historical facts, photo opportunities, music, wine, delicious food, amazing snorkeling spots, and a beautiful sunset on the water to end it all. While we did not end up catching a fish, they grilled us up a catch from earlier in the day while we snorkeled, and the dinner was all set up for us with drinks when we got back on board (the tomato fritters were TO DIE FOR). Elias and Makis truly make you feel at home, and have so many interesting stories and jokes to share. They are true professionals at what they do. We already miss both of them and this experience, we still can’t stop talking about it. I would book this exact trip with these two again and again. This is an excursion my friends and I will never forget, if you are in Santorini this is an absolute must!!

The VIEWS! Great family day! - Amazing family time with Captain Makis and Elias! Today was exactly what we wanted- away from the hectic cruise rush visiting the “top” of Santorini. (Yes, would have enjoyed too. )
But, we could not have imagined a better day. How can you beat a fishing, swim, lunch (from catch) and a beautiful scenic tour thru the islands.
Captain Makis (and Elias) enjoys what he does and has thought of all things to make your time enjoyable and relaxing from the very first time texting via WhatsApp to a couple of days before confirming. He was readily available to answer questions.
We HIGHLY recommend and would definitely come back!

Once in a lifetime experience - Gosh, I don’t know how to put in to words how magical our day on the boat was. We opted for a private boat day, and it did not disappoint. Mikey & Eli made the trip incredible - they are the perfect tag team. Mikey is the captain, and the most knowledgable and well known captain in Santorini. He told us the most incredible stories of his time as a fisherman, and being on the sea. Eli is our main guide, who gave us a thorough tour of the history of all the islands.
The experience itself is unlike anything I’ve done (and I’ve done a few of these trips). You fish directly on the boat; and then mikey cooks the fish in a private Bay Area that you get to snorkel in. No crowds at all, the most crystal clear ocean you’ve seen (there’s even a small ship wreck!)
The food itself is just… incredible. The fish, and the home made extras Mikey has taken the care to prepare, bring and BBQ right there on the boat - sublime.
11/10 experience. Do yourself a favour - and book this now!

Fishing for Memories - No fish? No problem. Our fishing tour in Santorini with Captain Matkis and Elias was a total catch in every other way. While the fish played hard to get, these two delivered a day packed with charm, laughter, and stories that brought the caldera to life.
We cruised the Aegean like old friends, soaking in the sun and island lore while trolling the deep blue. Even without a nibble, Saint Nicholas must’ve been smiling down on us—because the food was heavenly: grilled grouper fresh from someone else’s luck, vibrant Greek salad, and tomato fritters that deserve a Michelin star!
Matkis and Elias made us feel less like tourists and more like long-lost cousins finally coming home.
No fish on the lines, but bellies full and hearts fuller—aye aye, Captain! 🐟☀️🏴☠️

Great water experiance! - Simply wonderful. More than just a fishing trip. Its a tour that will offer you more "real" history than you will find elsewhere. Capt "Mikie the Pirate" started on these waters as a small boy. He knows every drop of water. His first Mate is so fluent in English and also knowledgeable on local and historic legend. The boat is extremely clean, well supplied and very very comfortable. We caught a few fish and cooked them up for lunch. This trio may be more expensive than you were looking for, but the experience is exclusive and would be impossible to beat.
