    Awesome Fishing Trip!!!

    Exciting 6 Hour Fishing Trip on August 19, 2026 • 3 adults

    We chartered the boat "Fishing Trip Athens". Upon arriving the boat was clearly up to date and ready to do some fishing... All the rods, bait, fishing rods and fishing licenses were waiting for us. Up on leaving the dock, we traveled for approximately 30 min and immediately started catching Sargo's. from there we catch a few puffer fish. The big excitement was our 3rd stop. We started catching nice size Trigger fish. Which would end up being our lunch. About 2 hrs before the trip ended, we were immersed in food, salad, dolmathes, tyropites, taziki, shrimp saganaki, bread, pruschetta, and most importantly our catch for the day. I must say, the Captain should have his own Cooking Show. The food was 5 🌟.. It's amazing that the food he cooks comes out of that tiny kitchen.. Some good advice, have a small light breakfast, because you will be surrounded by delicious food... I can't say enough about this trip, Just book it, you won't be disappointed at any point.

    What an incredible fishing experience!

    6 hour fishing afternoon trip on April 29, 2026 • 3 adults

    To anyone looking to book a truly breathtaking fishing experience with friends or family, look no further. I booked this trip as a part of a bachelor party for my brothers, and we were blown away. Captain Nektarios and his first hand George were an absolute delight! Going to all the good spots that nearly guaranteed fish, on an impeccably clean boat, with both live bait and prepared bait, with top notch equipment, on a beautiful day, I mean..wow! Their knowledge of fishing is impeccable, you can do no wrong. If you wanted, there was nearly no downtime, as George refreshed the bait on the fishing pole as soon as the hooks were out of the water! I must have caught more than 5+ very decent sized fish, and a ton of small ones! To top everything off there were drinks and snacks the entire trip, and Nektarios to our amazement made the most amazing dinner with the catch of the day. What a surprise his cooking abilities were! A brilliant chef! Exotic Mediterranean fish caught only a few moments ago, which would have cost a truckload in a high end restaurant for all three of us, was prepared as a part of an authentic, homemade Greek feast with white wine or rosé! We couldn't finish it all, and we're big guys! I'm just speechless really, my brothers loved every second and still talk about how memorable the whole thing was! Pro tip (the wind can potentially pickup towards the late evening hours so bring a sweater if you can, and nothing will stop you!) ❤️

    Wow , what an experience in Greece

    Exciting 6 Hour Fishing Trip on September 10, 2025 • 6 adults • 1 child

    We booked a six-hour fishing trip near Athens, Greece for four adults and one child, and it was an absolutely unforgettable experience. From the start, the captain and his crew were warm, professional, and made us feel right at home on the boat. We caught plenty of fish, enjoyed the stunning Aegean waters, and bonded as a group in a way that only a trip like this can bring. One of the most memorable surprises was the delicious lunch served right on board—it was such a thoughtful touch and made the day even more special. The atmosphere was incredible throughout. At one point, as we started reeling in fish, one of the fishermen broke out into traditional fisherman songs, creating a magical and authentic moment we’ll never forget. This trip truly had it all: adventure, relaxation, amazing hospitality, and a genuine taste of Greek fishing tradition. If you’re visiting Athens and looking for a unique experience on the water, I can’t recommend this fishing trip highly enough

    Best Captain and Mate

    Exciting 6 Hour Fishing Trip on June 28, 2025 • 2 adults

    My wife and I had the best time! We loved Captain Nektarios and his nephew Costas. They made us feel like family the second we came aboard. Comfortable boat with excellent ventilation and also a ceiling for coverage. Beautiful waters. Fun bottom fishing for grouper, snapper and other species. Made us a wonderful lunch of Greek salad, Shrimp Saganaki and pasta with shrimp and tomato sauce. Choice of water, soda, beer or wine as well as Greek pastries. The best was that the fish we caught were freshly filleted and included in our crazy feast of a lunch. The water was serene with a beautiful background of beautiful mountains and beeches. Cannot say enough about the hospitality of the team!!!

    Tremendous day at Varkiza Port with the impressive Captain and his Nephew, who speaks excellent English. Fully equipped boat with sunshades and echolot. Caught a massive Red Grouper and a couple of seabream. Had a full fish meal on the boat and went swimming in a small bay with clear blue water. Many thanks for the trip! Sam

    Amazing Fishing and Delicious Meal on the Mediterranean

    Exciting 6 Hour Fishing Trip on December 21, 2023 • 2 adults

    This was an amazing trip! It was a "wild card" that I kept secret from my fishing enthusiast husband until the day of the excursion. We went during December, it was a bit cold, but nothing unbearable. We caught so many fish -- Dentex, Red Snapper, Triggerfish, and Sea Bream. The Captain and first mate kept us on the fish with their instruments and knowledge of the area. Once we were done fishing, the captain fried up the sea bream and served it with hot shrimp sagnaki, a Greek salad with the best feta cheese ever, spanikopita, fresh bread, and wine. By far, one of our favorite fishing trips.
