Not what we expected—so much better!!

Danielle_N, Jun 2026

Expected a typical deep sea type of fishing experience, what we got was an intimate 1/2 day on the water witnessing the simple life of a fisherman from a small island in Greece. I loved the excitement of the anticipation of seeing what the net pulled in for us, Dimitrius, our Captain, was a one man crew, making it look easy. He prepared our catch along with a very tasty Greek salad that he cut and tossed on board while we swam and sunbathed in the black sand cove we anchored in. Sat at tables set up on the boat and had wine and conversation while we ate the freshest meal we had on our entire trip. If you are looking for a rod and reel experience, you may be disappointed, but if you value being part of an intimate experience and enjoying community and fresh food this is for you.

Overrated and overpriced

Julie_M, Sep 2024

This is not what it’s supposed to be. Yes, it’s a fishing “experience” if you have the.patience to wait for Captain Dimitri to check the 400 hooks he baited the day before. The catch was meagre - four small fish and one eel. After 90 minutes, we then headed to a bay where Dimitri had to bargain with a luxury catamaran for a berth. The landing was littered with rubbish and the established ladder was covered with slime. The captain did produce a usable entry ladder which allowed access to the water. Dimitri served up the fish he caught yesterday (not today) along with a very average pasta. The fish was delicious as was the Greek salad. We then headed back to Hydra. All up, it was an interesting experience but very overpriced for a swim, lunch and a few beers.

Awesome Adventure on the Water

Dimitris provided an amazing meal, regional information and an opportunity for snorkeling in the beautiful waters! We enjoyed the pleasant conversation and learning about Hydra, the fishing industry and Greek life. The delicious lunch consisted of Greek Salad (with olive oil from his own trees), fish soup, fresh fillets, bread and drinks! It was so much more than we expected!

Not a real fishing experience

Trevor_F, Jul 2024

Unfortunately there is no fishing with a fishing rod. I was hoping to actually catch fish, but you just helped the captain pull up a net. Then the captain took you to the beach while he cooked up the fish. It was nice and everyone is friendly, just not the trip I was looking for

Response from Host, Jul 2024

Dear Trevor, Thank you for your feedback. We appreciate your understanding and are glad to hear you found the experience enjoyable and our team friendly. Fishing techniques can indeed vary depending on the weather and the season to ensure the best chance of a catch. To guarantee a good catch on the day of your trip, the captain opted to use fishing nets rather than traditional rod fishing. This approach also offered an authentic insight into the daily life of a fisherman. We hope you still had a memorable time and enjoyed the fresh fish and beach visit. We would love to welcome you back in the future and hopefully provide a more typical fishing experience.
