    Fantastic trip, wasn't too long or short. Angelo is brilliant, really energetic and fun which made the trip special. The BBQ fish they served was restaurant quality with salad and bread. Definitely recommend!

    Great fishing in Rhodes

    The actual tour was incredible, I would recommend it to anyone with free time in Rhodes. The fishing was great we caught a few different species and the length of time out on the water was perfect. The guide Angelo was always attentive and fun. The only draw back was finding no. 2 kiosk, where none of the kiosks are numbered. It says go to the church but we could not see this. Either way, this did not take away from a great experience/tour. The fish grilled onboard really tops it off at the end.

    Fun day fishing!

    Had an excellent, fun, day and managed to catch 5 fish! The crew were friendly and happy to help those who were inexperienced fishermen. After the fishing finished we went to a beautiful cove where you could swim and snorkel in the crystal clear water. Lunch was fresh fish barbecued on the boat (chicken also available), a beautiful Greek salad and lovely fresh bread. Wine, beer and soft drinks were available whenever wanted. Communication prior to the trip was also excellent. Highly recommended for everybody. Thanks guys!

    Brilliant and fun experience

    Brilliant experience. We did the afternoon trip and was a great way to spend an afternoon. I've never fished before but Angelo showed us what to do and it was great fun catching our dinner. Would recommend.

    Makarounas Fishing Boat Trip with swimming stop and BBQ on board: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Rhodes.

    How much does Makarounas Fishing Boat Trip with swimming stop and BBQ on board cost?

    +

    Prices start at $74 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Rhodes usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does Makarounas Fishing Boat Trip with swimming stop and BBQ on board take?

    +

    Plan for about 5 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Rhodes is not rushed.

    Is Makarounas Fishing Boat Trip with swimming stop and BBQ on board worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 97 out of 100, which we label "Peak Performance". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 1,192 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable most popular in Rhodes, and how flexible the cancellation terms are. Scoring 90 or above puts it in the Outty 90+ Club, the top tier of everything we rank.

    Can I cancel or reschedule Makarounas Fishing Boat Trip with swimming stop and BBQ on board?

    +

    Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.

    Is Makarounas Fishing Boat Trip with swimming stop and BBQ on board suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Makarounas Fishing Boat Trip with swimming stop and BBQ on board?

    +

    Around 417 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Rhodes can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.

    What should I bring or wear?

    +

    Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Rhodes and add a light layer if any part of the 5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Makarounas Fishing Boat Trip with swimming stop and BBQ on board start and how do I get there?

    +

    The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Rhodes within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.

    What are the best things to do in Rhodes?

    +

    On Outty we rank every Rhodes experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Athens cruise: Agistri, Moni/Metopi, Aegina with lunch & drinks, Rhodes Sea Kayaking Tour – The Pirates Route, Symi Island by Fast Boat (High-Speed: ~1hr journey & ~4hrs Symi). The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.

    When is the best time to visit Rhodes?

    +

    Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.

    How many days do you need in Rhodes?

    +

    Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.

    Do I book through Outty or through the operator?

    +

    Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.

    What is included in Makarounas Fishing Boat Trip with swimming stop and BBQ on board?

    Included: Lunch. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

    Where is the meeting point for Makarounas Fishing Boat Trip with swimming stop and BBQ on board?

    +
