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

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”

He gave us good instructions on how to cast and use the open face reels, that hate me. I actually broke my empty handed streak and caught some very nice fish as did my husband who is an accomplished fisherman. We saw some beautiful scenery that one would never see any other way. It was well worth it. If you can make the time, take this fishing trip.”
