What to expect
The day, not the fish
Santorini's waters give a mixed bag: sea bream, sea bass, barracuda and grouper near the reefs, tuna offshore in season. Some days the box fills, some days the swim stops steal the show. We tell you honestly what the month allows, keep the gear ready and the drinks cold, and cook what you catch.
Trips run March to November, daily, weather permitting; the traditional Vlychada trip runs April to October. Children of all ages are welcome on our boats, with life jackets on board, and you do not need to have fished before.
