A 10 m sport-fishing boat built in 2023
A Bertram-type sport-fishing motor boat, 10 m long and 4 m wide, with a cabin, an air-conditioned saloon, a toilet and a shaded cockpit. Sonar, fish finder, radar and GPS on board; up to 30 knots when the captain needs to move between grounds. We take at most 8 guests so everyone has a seat in the shade and a turn on a rod.
All our captains hold Greek professional captain licences, and every boat is licensed and insured for passenger charter.
About our captains and boatsWhat you might bring up
Trolling and jigging between the stops usually turn up tuna, grouper, sea bass and barracuda in season, with sea bream around the reefs. Santorini is not a big-game destination, and we promise the day rather than the fish. You keep what you catch. The crew cook it on board when time allows; otherwise a taverna at the port will cook it for you for a small charge.
Season and species guideBefore you book
Who it suits
Couples, families and groups of friends up to eight. Children of all ages are welcome; life jackets are on board for all guests, including children. Non-swimmers are welcome. You do not need to have fished before; the captain chooses the rods for the conditions. More in our questions and answers.
Who should pick another trip
Anglers who want a full offshore day for bluefin should book the deep-sea tuna charter. Groups larger than eight, or anyone who prefers a per-person price, will find the semi-private traditional trip a better fit. We advise pregnant guests not to join sport-fishing trips because of sea conditions.
Weather and timing
If our captain cancels because of weather or sea state, you receive a full refund of your deposit or a free rebooking. Prefer the afternoon light? The same trip runs as the private sunset fishing trip, with the start set so it ends a little after sunset. Non-fishers in your group? Read fishing trip or catamaran in Santorini.
Questions about the morning trip
Does the five hours start when we meet or when we sail?
The charter time starts when the boat leaves the quay, so the full five hours are spent on the water: fishing, swimming and cruising the caldera.
Can I bring my own rod?
There is no need: the boat carries AVET and TALOS rods and reels, with bait and heavy-duty belts; three guests fish at a time. Everything you need is on board; if you have a question about gear, ask us when you book.
Is the boat really just for us?
Yes. A private charter means the sport-fishing boat and its captain are reserved for your group alone. The price covers up to four guests; extra guests cost €80 each, up to eight on board.
What do we eat and drink on board?
Fresh snacks such as tomato fritters, meatballs, tzatziki and bread, bottled water and soft drinks, coffee and tea, beer and local Santorini wine. Whatever you catch is grilled on board when time allows.
Where do we meet, and is pickup included?
We meet at the quay in Ammoudi Bay, or at Fira old port by arrangement. The exact spot and the boat's name are sent by email the day before, and on WhatsApp if you gave us a number. Transfers are not included; our transfer partner SantoriniTaxi.com can arrange a fixed-price ride.
How many of us can fish at the same time?
Three guests fish at a time, so a larger group takes turns while the others swim, snorkel or watch from the shaded cockpit.
