    What you'll see and do

    1. Zakynthos Town

      Experience authentic Greek fishing in the crystal-clear waters of Zakynthos. Join a traditional fishing boat for an unforgettable sea adventure along the stunning southern coastline of Zakynthos. Led by our experienced captain and his crew, this small-group excursion combines hands-on fishing, swimming at secluded beaches, and a freshly cooked seafood lunch on board. With a maximum of 10 guests, this intimate experience offers the perfect mix of adventure, relaxation, and Greek hospitality.

    2. Vasilikos Beach

      Set sail with our experienced crew to a carefully selected fishing spot and experience the authentic tradition of Greek fishing. Along the way, keep an eye on the sea—you may be lucky enough to spot the famous loggerhead turtle (Caretta caretta), dolphins, or even the rare Mediterranean monk seal (Monachus monachus). Enjoy a peaceful morning while sipping traditional Greek coffee, paired with freshly baked local treats, as our crew explains the fishing methods we will use during the trip. Guests can also try fishing with a rod, a simple yet fascinating technique still practiced by local fishermen. After casting the fishing nets, we will anchor at a quiet, secluded beach in the Vasilikos area so you can swim in crystal-clear waters, dive from the boat, or relax on board. Later, we will collect the nets and discover what the sea has offered us. Guests are welcome to participate in the process, provided the captain considers it safe.

    3. With our catch, we will head to our next stop: another beautiful, peaceful beach, where we can swim and enjoy the warm sun while our freshly caught lunch is prepared. Grilled, fried, or in a soup, our fish will be accompanied by risotto, fresh local vegetables, salads with extra virgin Zakynthian olive oil, and local homemade wine. Once we finish our lunch under the shade of the boat, full of experiences and delicacies, we will relax, having the wonderful Greek sea, the Ionian breeze, the seafood tastes, and the wine as our company, and we will head back to Zakynthos main harbor, filled with great memories and once-in-a-lifetime experiences.

    Jump on Board

    Had a very good time on this tour. The boat staff were top notch, looked after us and cooked up a great feast from our catch, which equalled about 30 or so fish about the size of a large clenched fist, but in abundance for everyone. There was also stops for some refreshing swimming, and all in isolation from other crowds. This does consist of net-based fishing, so you cast an extremely long net, then reel it in after a 2-3 hour soak. But this is done in such a way as the Captain mentioned to look after the fish population whilst still keeping us entertained. Recommended for sure.

    Great Day

    Really enjoyable and informative trip with two swimming stops, the latter so they could cook the fish from the nets for our lunch. Giorgos is extremely knowledgeable, and Katya cooks a mean red mullet! Highly recommended

    Amazing experience

    Our daughter booked this activity for our trip in Zante and I only have one word : INCREDIBLE! I went with my husband and we were a small group of people. The team is just amazing, very friendly and welcoming. We are mostly speaking french not a lot of English but even with the language barrier we were able to communicate and have fun onboard ! They served us a great breakfast as well as a delicious lunch with the fish that we caught that day ! We stopped multiple times in beautiful places to swim, I had never seen such bluest water in my life ! Everything has been done safely and in a good mood. The captain, the fishermen and the lady were lovely, we were glad to meet such amazing people! Do not hesitate to book this activity, it’s a one life experience 🤩

    An Amazing Must Do Trip

    We wanted to do something a bit different to the usual boat tours you see. Wow! This trip does not disappoint. We had an amazing day from start to finish. Sunshine, crystal waters, snorkelling, great company, delicious food, sustainable fishing and we even saw a Turtle. Huge thanks to Captain George and crew for such great hospitality.

    Zakynthos Traditional Eco-Fishing Tour with lunch & swim stops: questions travelers ask

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

    How much does Zakynthos Traditional Eco-Fishing Tour with lunch & swim stops cost?

    +

    Prices start at $124 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Zakynthos usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does Zakynthos Traditional Eco-Fishing Tour with lunch & swim stops take?

    +

    Plan for about 7 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 Zakynthos is not rushed.

    Is Zakynthos Traditional Eco-Fishing Tour with lunch & swim stops worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 64 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.4/5 across 17 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Zakynthos, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule Zakynthos Traditional Eco-Fishing Tour with lunch & swim stops?

    +

    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 Zakynthos Traditional Eco-Fishing Tour with lunch & swim stops suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 7-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Zakynthos Traditional Eco-Fishing Tour with lunch & swim stops?

    +

    Around 6 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 Zakynthos 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 Zakynthos and add a light layer if any part of the 7-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Zakynthos Traditional Eco-Fishing Tour with lunch & swim stops 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 Zakynthos 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 Zakynthos?

    +

    On Outty we rank every Zakynthos experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Ceramic Making Experience in Zakynthos, Half-Day Greek Cooking Class of Zakynthian Culture with Lunch, Zakynthos Turtle Tour Small Group Turtle Spotting & Turtle Island. 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 Zakynthos?

    +

    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 Zakynthos?

    +

    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 Zakynthos Traditional Eco-Fishing Tour with lunch & swim stops?

    +

    Included: Carbonated beverages; Bottled water; Nets, fishing rods; Lunch; and Breakfast. Not included: Towels. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

    Does Zakynthos Traditional Eco-Fishing Tour with lunch & swim stops include hotel pickup?

    +

    Yes, pickup is offered, or you can meet at the start point instead from 295 listed pickup locations in and around Zakynthos. Be ready about 20 minutes before the start time. You can also enter a custom pickup address when booking.

    What languages is Zakynthos Traditional Eco-Fishing Tour with lunch & swim stops offered in?

    Is Zakynthos Traditional Eco-Fishing Tour with lunch & swim stops wheelchair or stroller accessible?

    +
