2.Santorini Fishing Private Cruise boat tour – BBQ, Snorkeling

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 354 reviews · 5 hours (approx.) · from $514

Spend about five hours on a private Santorini boat with Captain Makis and Elias. Fish near the volcano, snorkel in quiet coves, swim, hear island stories, and enjoy a barbecue with fresh fish when the catch allows. Equipment, snacks, and drinks are provided.

“Our fishing trip in Santorini with Pirate Captain Makis and first mate Elias was one of the absolute highlights of our entire vacation! From the moment we stepped on board, Captain Makis made us feel welcome, safe, and ready for an adventure. They are genuinely nice guys—equal parts knowledgeable fisherman and entertaining “pirate”—and kept the experience relaxed, enjoyable, and full of laughs. The fishing itself was incredible, but what made the trip truly special was the amazing meal he prepared right on the boat. He cooked the fish my husband caught along with some homemade tomato fritters, and it was honestly one of the best meals we had in Greece.…”
