11 Private Fishing Charters in Greece Worth Booking

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!”

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…”
