Santorini Fishing Private Cruise boat tour – BBQ, Snorkeling

1.Santorini Fishing Private Cruise boat tour – BBQ, Snorkeling

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 354 reviews · 5 hours (approx.) · from $514Our pick

Spend about five hours on a private Santorini fishing cruise with Captain Makis and first mate Elias. Fish near the volcano, swim and snorkel with supplied gear, hear local stories, and enjoy a barbecue using your catch when conditions allow. The route is private and can be shaped around your group.

“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!”

★★★★★★★★★★4.8 · 315 reviews · 5 hours · from $88

Join Skevos and Captain Mike for a five-hour small-group fishing trip from Rhodes Old Town. Troll for larger fish, try seabed fishing, swim or snorkel in a quiet bay, and eat a fresh onboard lunch with grilled fish, Greek salad, bread, beer, and soft drinks.

“Skevos is such a handsome man! And his father too. The experience was amazing. It’s totally different to fish on a boat as to fish on a lake. Skevod was honest with us about the current situation with the water and that it could be difficult to catch a fish. But they tried everything for us and at the end we were all lucky :) the food was amazing! Couldn’t describe it. Tasted like heaven :)) worth every penny. Ευχαριστώ Skevos”

We had a good couple hours of clear skies to get some fishing in before it started to rain and become windy. It was my first time fishing but I caught three! We had fried rice and fish bbq for lunch. Since it started to rain we voted to forego the snorkeling in favor of more fishing, but eventually we had to return earlier than scheduled. Tour guide operator dropped us back off at the hotel. Overall good experience, despite the weather.”

The private booking covers up to five people.

“We had an amazing time with Island Adventures on the private snorkeling and fishing tour. Snorkeling near a quiet reef with no other boats around was incredible, and our guide Juan pointed out so many fish and even a stingray. He also walked me through how to bait the hook during the fishing portion, which was fun to learn. Theo, our captain, kept everything smooth and relaxed from start to finish. The water in Isla Mujeres is bluer than any pool I’ve ever seen, and with calm seas and sunny skies, it was the perfect day. Highly recommend!”
