What To Expect
The trip will start with 1-2 hours fishing. Fisherman Dimitris will pick you up at your preferred pick up point and bring you to the best spot to do some fishing. This will depend mostly on the weather and the season so that he can guarantee you the best catch. So for example You will help him get out the long lines or fishing nets he has thrown in a few hours before the trip. Then he will show you other fishing techniques like trolling or hand lines and fishing rods. After that he will take you to a remote beach where you can enjoy swimming ♂️ and snorkeling while he will be cooking lunch for you (usually fish soup or fried fish) served with a cool salad and refreshing fruit for dessert. After eating lunch at the beach he will bring you back to your pick up point. Lunch and drinks are included in the price.

Great Experience and Great Food

5.00The host was extremely friendly and very informative about his fishing practices as well and about the island. It was so cool to see Hydra from a different perspective, and the lunch was delicious.
Fun fishing trip for small group

5.00We didn’t actually know what to expect. One man operation, very interesting person. He pulled up his nets he put out earlier. What was in the net he cooked on the boat and with a Greek salad for lunch. Fish was delicious. Time for swimming, snorkeling and more fishing . Very fun trip!
All around a great and fun experience.

5.00Just me and my wife. Left on time. Lucky for us the weather was great. Motored a half hour or so to get to a long line Dimitris had put out the day before. 200 plus hooks. His skill was amazing. The two hour harvest mesmerized us. Lots of different fish overflowed the storage boxes. Even caught a stingray that Dimitris was very careful handling. Caught some other fish that were very scary looking. (that we ate) Then motored to a delightful bay and swam off the boat and relaxed with some beers while Dimitri prepared a wonderful lunch selected from his catch. Way more than we could eat but some of his friends apparently knew this was common and motored by to collect and eat what we couldn't finish. Then we motored back to the pick up point at Hydra's main port. Couldn't have asked for a more pleasant and fun experience. Dimitri couldn't have been nicer.
Overrated and overpriced

3.00This is not what it’s supposed to be. Yes, it’s a fishing “experience” if you have the.patience to wait for Captain Dimitri to check the 400 hooks he baited the day before. The catch was meagre - four small fish and one eel. After 90 minutes, we then headed to a bay where Dimitri had to bargain with a luxury catamaran for a berth. The landing was littered with rubbish and the established ladder was covered with slime. The captain did produce a usable entry ladder which allowed access to the water. Dimitri served up the fish he caught yesterday (not today) along with a very average pasta. The fish was delicious as was the Greek salad. We then headed back to Hydra. All up, it was an interesting experience but very overpriced for a swim, lunch and a few beers.
Don’t miss!!!!!

5.00We had the most amazing day off the coast of Hydra! A highlight of our trip! The fishing experience included swimming and an amazing lunch prepared right on the boat with the fish caught. Our guide was excellent: knowledgable and very friendly. Make sure to include this day excursion when you go to Hydra! The best!

5.00Dimitris provided an amazing meal, regional information and an opportunity for snorkeling in the beautiful waters! We enjoyed the pleasant conversation and learning about Hydra, the fishing industry and Greek life. The delicious lunch consisted of Greek Salad (with olive oil from his own trees), fish soup, fresh fillets, bread and drinks! It was so much more than we expected!
A no pacing fishing trip with lunch!

5.00We appreciated the good communication regarding the trip and the amazing guide service. At first the weather was predicted to be too windy and the host reached out immediately to try to make alternate plans. We had such a great time and the areas we visited were beautiful. We were amazed at the tasty lunch he cooked up with the fish we caught plus pasta with shrimp, Greek salad and fresh bread along with drinks. We would highly recommend this trip and this beautiful island.
Not a real fishing experience

3.00Unfortunately there is no fishing with a fishing rod. I was hoping to actually catch fish, but you just helped the captain pull up a net. Then the captain took you to the beach while he cooked up the fish. It was nice and everyone is friendly, just not the trip I was looking for
Dimitri.Best captain and gourmet chef.
