The best captain of the island. He is accompanied by a polite sailor who also informs you about historical facts of the island, the volcano and the ancient civilization that lived here thousands of years BC. It was my second tour with him and every time the experience is unique. The view of Santorini's sunset at the end of the trip is the nicest you can see! Highly recommended!

We had such a wonderful time with our captain Maki and Ilias that we booked a second excursion. Both of them are wonderful hosts, personable and attentive and made us feel welcome and comfortable. Ilias speaks perfect English and explained where we were going and what we were seeing. They served us a delicious homemade dinner with tomato fritters that Maki made with ingredients from his garden. The meal also included a Greek salad, wonderful homemade meat balls and pork kebabs that they prepared for us. The second excursion was a fishing trip. They grilled the three fish that we caught that morning.
The two five hour excursions with this duo was the highlight of our time on Santorini. Highly recommended!!

If you are looking for an outstanding day on the water this is the experience of a lifetime. With the incredible scenery all around you will be fishing for barracuda, grouper or bonito. Makis the captain and his first mate
(Ilias?) take you out to fishing grounds where you will be sure to bring in a fish. Then they bbq and make ceviche
(amazing job) with your catch while serving family made tomato fritters, Greek salad and beef/ pork balls with
tzitziki and wine or beer. You can snorkel in the sea if you want and watch the sunset to end a perfect day. We would do this again in a heartbeat if we were ever to return.

On July 4th I spent the day going out with pirate fishing tour and had an amazing time. They told us about great history of the islands and lots of great info about Santorini. This was one of the best trips i have booked in Europe in the past 4 years living here. We started off with fishing and seeing cliffs and beautiful clear blue waters. Next drove to a private beach after catching a few fish. They made fresh ceviche for us from one of the bonitos i had caught, as we went snorkeling around a beautiful private beach. As we eat we headed over to the volcanic island near the hot springs were the water changed color from blue to a teal green color. We continued to fish and had an amazing time in the 5 hours we were on the water. I would highly recommend this trip as you are not with the general public. We saw many other boats packed with tourists that looked busy on the boat and not as fun. I will definitely book this trip again when i go back to Santorini. Thank you Pirate Private Fishing Tour for such a great time!

This was our favorite day in Santorini. Makis and Elias took such wonderful care of us. We always had a beer in hand and we learned all about Santorini while we were trolling for fish. We caught a fish and then went to a cove to go snorkeling. While we were snorkeling, Makis and Elias cooked up the fish and we had the most delicious sides made my Makis wife. After snorkeling we turned up the music and headed to watch the sunset. Thank you for such an amazing day on the water.

These guys are amazing they work so hard to make sure everyone is happy. You just need to relax and enjoy the amazing trip.
The food was one of the best I had in Santorini. The homemade food by Captain’s Makis wife is delicious. The best Greek salad with the best olive oil is super authentic and everyone loved. We had 4 children with us and they loved it. If you come to Santorini this trip is the one to choose.

My partner loves fishing so we decided to do a fishing tour during our time in Santorini. As we booked directly with Captain Makis, we were picked up from our hotel to the port by Eddy who is Makis' right hand man. It's a nice little boat with shaded areas so it's quite comfortable even when it's hot. Captain Makis is a professional fisherman so he knows a lot about fishing. We have Eddy who helps with translating as Captain Makis English is not as strong. Both Makis and Eddy made us feel very welcome and comfortable and ensured we stay hydrated. They also prepared us a nice dinner with some homemade meatballs and tomato balls by Makis' wife, some freshly barbequed barracuda fish, and some Greek salad with bread. The highlight of the trip for us was the amazing sunset from the boat. Even though we didn't end up catching any big fish (we caught quite a lot of small barracuda), and my partner would have loved to catch a tuna, the experience was amazing and we can really see that Captain Makis and Eddy tried their best to help us catch some fish from various fishing spot. Price is on the higher end of what we would usually go for, but it was a great experience regardless. Thank you Captain Makis and Eddy!

This was the best half day we did in our entire Greece vacation (16 days).

Makis and Ilias were terrific hosts and made us feel welcome right away.

We caught fish, learned a lot of history about the Caldera and Greek Islands and best of all - had a lot of laughs.

A definite highlight was our lunch. Makis cleaned and cooked the fish we caught right on the boat. Ilias made us fresh ceviche with a Benito we caught to go with a Greek salad, fritters and fresh bread (oh yah - and cold beer). We tied up right beside the volcano in a sheltered cove and had a great meal.

If I could give more than 5 stars I definitely would. Book this trip.

Thanks Captain and Ilias. Was a great day!

We had a great 5 hour trip with Makis and Elias. Full of energy and enthusiasm for their island. Driving and parking at Ammoudi can be a bit challenging so aim to be there 30minutes early. The boat was comfortable with two seats at the front of the boat and bench seating for 6? under a canopy at the back. There is a small toilet. We sailed from Oia to Therissa to the White Island, past the old and new Volcano and back to Oia for a beautiful sunset. Stopped to swim and snorkel and had a great simple but tasty traditional Greek lunch. The only slight disappointment was that the type of fishing is trolling with two lines and artificial lures across the open sea for about 1 hour of the trip. We had a couple of bites but nothing took the lines. I sense that catching is a bit hit and miss. That said we had a lovely afternoon as a family on a private boat with fabulous scenery and two great hosts that we will remember for a very long time. If you are looking for a private cruise around Santorini…..just do it!
