Zakinthos, Greece

Have you planned your next vacation in Greece already? If not, (or even if so!) don’t miss out on the opportunity to enjoy exciting angling action in the Ionian Sea! Big Game Fishing Zante will show you some of the hottest fishing spots around the island of Zakynthos.

Captain Yiannis Geladas invites you to join him for this bluewater adventure on board his 32’ Bertram Trojan. She was originally launched in 1985 and fully restored in 2012 – the perfect combination of old-school quality and modern amenities. Her hull design allows for stability and comfort even in open waters while providing you with plenty of room to move around while chasing the bite. You can bring 4 fishing buddies with you on this fishing excursion.

The captain will deftly guide the boat from the flybridge and spot topwater prey from far away. The onboard live bait well will keep your bait fish spry and appetizing long after it’s been caught. There’s also a bed and a kitchen on board, as well as a private bathroom and shower, ensuring your comfort.

Capt. Yiannis will take you after a wide range of pelagic predators in the offshore waters of Greece. You’ll go after Sailfish, Spearfish, Striped and White Marlin, Mahi Mahi, as well as Bluefin and other species of Tuna. Mahi Mahi, Skipjack and Albacore Tuna can be kept by clients, other species must be released.

You can also customize all trips to your liking. Want to mix it up with snorkeling or exploring secret caves along the shoreline? No problem!

Captain Yiannis Geladas has a lifetime of fishing behind him – he's been fishing since he was 2 years old, that makes almost 6 decades of angling. He started his professional relationship with fishing after he graduated from the Marine college and signed onto a cruise ship as a chef when he was 18. That career has allowed him to go on fishing all across the world. One of his proudest catches was a 1045 lb Black Marlin off the coast of Madeira. Capt. Yiannis just loves fishing very, very much, it's as simple as that! He's keen on sharing his passion for angling with every single person that comes on board.
