I loved this experience! Anthi's knowledge about fish and telling us about the history of the company was really spectacular! They caught quite a lot of fish so we were able to try a large variety and I ended up feeling sea sick with another passenger onboard, but Anthi gave us Travel gum and always checked on us to make sure we're ok! I don't enjoy fishing that much and accompanied my husband, but it turned out to be one of my favourite activities in Santorini!

Well organized, Very relaxing with beautiful views of the Island. Very helpful & friendly, along with good food with interesting species of fish caught with the long haul net. fishing is fun but subjected to weather conditions but this can only be controlled by mother-nature :-) Ideal for a nice relaxing day out on the water. Evening trip recommended to experience the evening sunset.

My husband and I absolutely loved this experience. It was our first time fishing, ever! I'm a huge animal lover, so it was great to see that they also respect the fish and ecosystem, and release fish back into the ocean who are not edible or are too young. Snorkeling was amazinggggg in this beautiful water. Also the food was the best we had during our whole stay. Highly reccomend!
