Wow!
We had a wonderful 5-hr sunset fishing trip and our teenage boys said it was the highlight of our two weeks in Greece!! Fishing was fun, fresh caught fish (and tomato fritters and salad!) was delicious and Captain Mikas and first mate Ilias are amazing people. It was not just a fishing trip but a cultural immersion. By the end of our trip we felt like we were fishing with old friends. We would definitely do this again.

Great Family Boat Day!
Our family gives this boat experience a 10/10. My husband and I and our three children (ages 16, 13, 10) had the absolute best time. Capt'n Makis and Elias are so knowledgeable and fun to spend the day with. My son (16) is an avid fisherman, while the girls just wanted a fun boat day, and this trip just checked all the boxes. We caught a golden grouper that we had for dinner, along with some amazing tomato fritters, salad, and bread and tzatziki. Swimming and snorkeling around the wrecks in the clearest water while they cooked dinner was unforgettable. We would love to come back to Santorini and do it all again!

Book this trip
The highlight of our time in Santorini! We had a blast fishing and snorkeling. My husband and I traveled with my parents (60s) and children (9,5) and they made sure each one of us was having fun. I can’t say enough about how much they included my girls in the fishing portion. My 5 year old just recently learned how to swim and was nervous about getting into the ocean from the boat. Captain Mike took her out on the paddle board and made sure she was able to feel comfortable before ever getting into the ocean. The boat is absolutely gorgeous.

Simply perfect. Ten stars if I could give them.
This was, without exaggeration, one of the most extraordinary travel experiences of my life. What made this tour so remarkable wasn’t just the fishing, the snorkeling, or the incredible meal, it was the way all three came together into something deeply authentic and unforgettable. We started by heading out into the pristine waters surrounding Santorini, where the crew’s passion for the sea was immediately evident. They knew exactly where to fish, patiently shared their knowledge, and made everyone, whether experienced or a complete beginner, feel like a seasoned angler. The highlight was catching our own fish and then watching it transformed into one of the freshest, most delicious meals I’ve ever had. Seeing the crew expertly prepare and cook what we had caught just moments earlier was an experience that no restaurant could ever replicate. Every bite tasted like the Aegean itself. As if that weren’t enough, we anchored near an incredible shipwreck that looked like something from a movie. Snorkeling around it was mesmerizing. The crystal, clear water offered astonishing visibility, with schools of colorful fish weaving through the wreckage and sunlight dancing across the submerged structure. It felt like exploring a hidden chapter of history beneath the sea. What truly elevated the day, however, was the warmth and generosity of the crew. They weren’t simply running an excursion, they were sharing a piece of their culture, their traditions, and their love for the island. Their hospitality was genuine, their enthusiasm infectious, and their attention to every detail exceptional. I’ve traveled extensively around the world, and very few experiences leave a lasting impression years later. This will be one of them. If you’re visiting Santorini and only have time for one unforgettable adventure, make it this one. It captures everything that is magical about Greece: spectacular natural beauty, incredible food, rich history, and the kind of heartfelt hospitality that reminds you why travel is so transformative. Simply perfect. Ten stars if I could give them.

A great day on the water!
We had a great day with Captain Mikish and his first mate Ilias. We trolled for and caught four 10-12lb Golden Groupers that Captain Mikish later prepared an amazing lunch with! The homemade tomato fritters were great too. The tour provided incredible views and a fantastic snorkeling experience in a private area far away from the crowds and even included a shipwreck to snorkel around and explore. The boat was brand new and custom designed by Captain Mikish a fourth-generation fisherman. I highly recommend this excursion.

Why this scores 87
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Santorini Fishing Private Cruise boat tour - BBQ, Snorkeling: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Santorini.
How much does Santorini Fishing Private Cruise boat tour - BBQ, Snorkeling cost?
+
Prices start at $150 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Santorini usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Santorini Fishing Private Cruise boat tour - BBQ, Snorkeling 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 Santorini is not rushed.
Is Santorini Fishing Private Cruise boat tour - BBQ, Snorkeling worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 87 out of 100, which we label "Exceptional". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 374 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Santorini, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Santorini Fishing Private Cruise boat tour - BBQ, Snorkeling?
+
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 Santorini Fishing Private Cruise boat tour - BBQ, Snorkeling 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 Santorini Fishing Private Cruise boat tour - BBQ, Snorkeling?
+
Around 131 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 Santorini 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 Santorini and add a light layer if any part of the 5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Santorini Fishing Private Cruise boat tour - BBQ, Snorkeling 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 Santorini 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 Santorini?
+
On Outty we rank every Santorini experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Half Day Premium Catamaran Cruise in Santorini including Oia, Private Santorini Tailor Made - Choice of the Guest!, Private Classic Santorini Panorama: Visit Top Destinations. 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 Santorini?
+
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 Santorini?
+
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.
