Get on board, you will not regret it! - What an amazing trip with Makis and his first mate and sous chef, Elias. Full five stars! This is a unique and special way to get out on the waters surrounding Santorini. Here’s why: unlike the sunset charters, catarmans and big tourist boats, Makis runs a private charter for your family, scheduled at your convenience, and catering to your specific desires. The fishing is exciting, and the sight seeing is unmatched. And the on board bbq lunch? Amazing! Makis is from a long line of Santorini fisherman—don’t be surprised if you catch a glimpse of his father and brother manning their boats while out on the water. And ask him to tell you some of his stories, growing up fishing in Santorini. Elias is wonderful, and readily informative about the history and geology of this very special place. And Niki handled our booking and was very responsive and helpful. Very special people, who run a very special excursion that should not be missed! We’ll be back, and will surely book with the pirate captain again!

The end of a two week trip and we definitely went out on the High Point - Went out on the boat yesterday with captain Makis and Eli What an experience! My son is so excited he still talking about it this morning We caught tuna laid out on the deck, barbecue the tuna within an hour of catching it, and they prepared ceviche grilled fish, Greek salad, and some local…? I don’t even know what to call it except it was delicious. Eli gave us an education on the region, the history of volcanoes at the villages as we went by and could not have been nicer Captain Makis was such a master at his craft. He was able to get the boat within touching distance of several massive rock formations I own a boat I would never even begin to think about getting that close to something that would destroy the boat, but he did it over and over never touched anything Truly remarkable to see the control he has with that boat in the sea I’ll add some pictures, but oh my gosh what an amazing day !

The best day of our entire vacation! - So many reasons this was above and beyond what we expected… 1. The captain, Mikis and first mate were so friendly, funny, and knowledgeable. We not only had a first rate captain but he is also a wonderful chef and photographer too! We learned all about the history of the island and saw many beautiful sights. We caught fish for our lunch, swam, and snorkeled in clear beautiful clear waters seeing an under water sunken ship and abundant marine life. 2. The brand new Bertram was both beautiful and comfortable. Plenty of room on deck with both shade and sun as well as large cabin and bathroom. 3. Lunch was amazing with the freshest ceviche, grouper, Greek salad, tomato fritters, bread, beer, wine and sodas. Honestly one of the best meals we’ve had- although the stunning view and company could have been a factor. 4. Right back to #1 again because I can’t say enough about how welcoming these two handsome men were. They made our family of 4 feel like close friends, if not family. I would absolutely recommend this trip to anyone visiting Santorini- it will be the highlight of your vacation!

BEST EXPERIENCE EVER!!! - This was one of the best experiences I’ve ever had!! Makis and Elias were absolutely fantastic! My husband and I came to Greece for our honeymoon and we did a lot of different excursions, but this one by far was the best thing we booked! We went fishing, got told about the history of Santorini, Elias gave us multiple photo shoots, we got to snorkel in a private cove by the volcano, Makis cooked the grouper we caught for lunch along with tomato balls, Greek salad, tzatziki, and garlic bread! They are both so knowledgeable and Makis grew up here in Santorini practically living his whole life on the water! I am so excited to have had this experience and definitely recommend booking for your trip to Santorini!!

Amazing Vibe - must go on this trip - Captains Mikas and Elias were amazing. The boat was so clean and they were very gracious hosts ensuring we enjoyed ourselves. Could not imagine a better way to spend the day in Santorini. We were lucky with catching a 100 lb yellow fin tuna that captain grilled for lunch as well as making fresh ceviche with the tuna. Elias knowledge of history and the formation of the islands was very impressive. Captain Mikas is at home on the sea and his experience and attention to detail is an evident.

Highlight of our trip - Had the most amazing day on the water off of Santorini. Captain Makis and Elias made sure every need of our family was catered to - from an incredible history of some of the areas around Santorini to an AMAZING meal cooked right on the boat - we had the best time and would absolutely do this again. The communication in advance of the trip was fantastic as well. And as a family who likes to fish, we know that does not always mean “catch” but to catch grouper and have it cooked right there while we snorkeled was priceless. Amazing way to spend a few hours on the water and see Santorini from a different viewpoint.

Awsome - Been on many charters, hands down these guys are are awesome. From the minute you step on the boat to stepping off. Cooked our Golden Grouper to perfection right on the boat. To sum it up, like being on a 5 star yacht. Highly recommend you book with captain Mike. Thanks again guys, Steve and Cindy

Great trip and fantastic fishing experience - This was an amazing experience. The captain, Mike was very friendly and very knowledgeable about the sea surrounding Santorini! He took us to volcanic formations that were amazing sights and provided us with picturesque memories! The first mate, Elías, was friendly and knowledgeable about the sea and Santorini. The tale of the Hermit was fascinating. We caught Grouper and Mike and Elias barbecued our grouper and served us a delicious dinner on board. Our fresh grouper, Greek salad, fresh bread and tomato fritters ( made by Mike). They make a wonderful team! My husband loves fishing and they were all able to share their knowledge of fishing. Mike owns the boat ( which is fabulous). The trip is private, not commercial. This will always be the highlight of our trip to Santorini!

Best Experience in Santorini! - If you can do only one thing in Santorini this tour would be it! Captain Mikas and Elias are incredible. They know the sea and Santorini as only a local can know. We caught incredible fish which Mikas and Elias cooked for us on the boat making a Bonita ceviche (which we caught) and grilled grouper (which we caught), Greek salad and the most incredible tomato cakes. It doesn’t get any fresher than that. Also the boat is new, extremely clean, organized, and spacious. The whole experience is a class act that will not soon be forgotten

The perfect blend of fishing and sightseeing! Amazing crew! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ - We had the most incredible time yesterday with Captain Matkis and his crew!! We booked the 5hr fishing charter at sunset, and it was absolutely incredible. We learned so much about the local area and saw the most incredible views. They quickly caught on that my fiance is obsessed with fishing, and taught him about their methods and the places the Captain has been. The boat was brand new, clean, and so comfortable! We ended up catching a large grouper which was cleaned and grilled for us while we swam in this secluded little cove. We were given dinner with some of the Captain's amazing family specialties (fritters, meatballs, salad) and the white wine was abundant throughout! We WISH we had charters like this in the US! I cannot say enough good things about these amazing people!
