"Thank you to theTravelPorter and our host Anthi for the unforgettable experience" Faithlyn and Joshua, USA

"Simply Amazing! Our host Anthí was very professional and yet very warm. The captain Mohammed helped showed us the ropes from collecting the crates to scaling the fish. I have only great things to say about the whole experience. If you do only one thing in Santorini, this should be it." - Rocio, A. 

Activity Description

Join an experience of a lifetime on a traditional fishing boat (16 meters) either in the morning or during sunset. On this unique boat trip you will have the chance to discover and practise the traditional fishing technique with fishnets. Your day trip will start from Vlychada marina. Your first task will be to participate in pulling 800 meters of nets and 17 creels for shrimps and octopus from the sea. As the day continues and once all the fish gathering is completed your guides will take you to the coasts of White, Black, Red or Caldera beach for a swim. While you are enjoying the islands' crystal waters the crew will start cooking the fish already caught on the day. For those who prefer to continue fishing instead of swimming or relaxing, the crew will provide them with fishing rods and bait to make the most of their fishing adventure! Once the meal is finished, the crew pulls anchor and returns to the open sea; during the afternoon tour, guests have the chance to watch the unique Santorini sunset from the boat to top this memorable day!
