A family favorite activity

5.00Family Favorite! We enjoyed a morning tour. They were so flexible with us as we needed to leave a hour later. The kids (age 11-20) loved getting to catch the fish they prepared for us. We enjoyed swimming at the volcano hot springs & a beautiful snorkeling spot. The paddle board was a great plus! The food was some of the best we had all week. The tomato fritters were a family favorite. We loved this authentic experience and learning more about the fishing and Santorini culture. A must do if in the area.
AMAZING FISHING EXPERIENCE AND SIGHTSEEING!

5.00AMAZING fishing trip with Capt Makis & Ilia from Pirate Fishing Tour. As a well-known local commercial fisherman, Capt Makis fished the waters of the Aegean Sea around Santorini his entire life. Being a passionate angler, I wanted a true local experience and glad I came across Captain Makis. His techniques truly show his experience and knowledge of the local waters, knowing where, when, and how to get to the fish at 1000-1200 feet. Within literally 5 minutes I was hooked up to my first ever 6lb Golden Grouper, followed by another nice 9 lber and then a few more! Capt Makis cleaned and grilled my catch paired with a fresh made salad, and his delicious tomato fritters. Ilia was very knowledgeable, entertaining, and provided a helpful history of the different islands around Santorini. We shared our meal like we were long-term friends with many laughs in between. I would strongly recommend them for a true fishing and sightseeing experience. Until next time guys! 😎🤙🎣🔥🔥🔥 Raf Sowi Outdoors (YouTube)

5.00This tour was definitely a top experience in our Greece trip. My family and I took this trip as a recommendation from a coworker. The stories/history on the tour were intriguing and entertaining. Dinner was caught as we were touring around the islands and the meal was delicious. Captain Mikas and Ilias were amazing hosts, from tour, to stories, to dinner and instagram worthy pics! Take this tour, you will not regret it

5.00Our five hour day trip with Capt. Makis was the highlight of our Greek island-hopping campaign. Capt. Makis and 1st Mate IIlis were both wonderful company, communicate effectively (they both speak great English), and their hospitality was world-class. I’ve been fishing since I was a child and have done charters all over the world. Pirate Fishing Charters is as fine an outfit as you could hope to find, and this service is ideal for couples, families, kids (over age 5), or a boys trip! Thanks again, Lads! Hope to see you again next year! - Jim & Ewa

5.00This experience was just excellent. My husband and I had a wonderful time with Mikas we had our own guided tour, caught fish and had a stunning bbq. I read an article in the telegraph newspaper about Mikas and the trips he offered and booked our sunset fishing cruise straight away. I’m so very happy I did and would highly recommend this wonderful experience.

5.00If you are in Santorini this is a must tour. The captain is a local legend and his first mate has so much knowledge of the area and the history. This is not just a fishing trip but and experience filled with true stories of the captains 30 years on the water
Amazing experience!

5.00I can’t recommend this enough - Captain Makis and his helper Elias hosted a great tour. We went for a sunset tour in the early season, so we didn’t do any snorkeling or swimming, which was good for us because we were there for the fishing and tour! Captain Makis took us trolling around the caldera, and Elias told us all about the history of the various islands, the eruptions that formed them, the people, and so much more! Toward the end, they cooked up the fresh fish and made a fantastic dinner. After dinner, we trolled a bit more and learned even more about the captain. We stopped outside Ammoudi to watch the sunset from the bay, then headed in. Overall, we loved the experience and would recommend it to anyone!

5.00This was truly an amazing experience. As a fisherman, I got to reel in dinner while my wife and daughter were very happy just being out on the water on one of the cleanest and most well maintained boats that we have ever stepped aboard. Captain Makris and Elias made sure we were all entertained and felt comfortable. Their historical knowledge, culinary skills, and ability to put a catch on the boat is unparalleled. This is a true Aegean experience and worth every penny. This was by far one of the best tours we have ever taken.

5.00Wow!!!!! What an experience. Mikas and Ilias were absolutely amazing. So knowledgeable and friendly. The food they made was fantastic. Everyone needs to do a tour with them while in Santorini versus being on a crowded catamaran.
