What To Expect
Our fishing experience takes approximately 7 hours on our 10-meter wooden fishing boat that can take up to 10 people.
We welcome you onboard with Greek coffee & handmade snack.
We first head to a fishing location depending on the winds and weather conditions. There you watch Captain Yiannis pull up the nets or fishing line, which he dropped earlier in the morning. You can help if you want and ask questions. You can also fish on your own using a fishing pole or handline if you wish. Or you can just sunbathe on the deck, read your book, and enjoy the magnificent views of the island.
We will then head to a secluded location where you can swim or snorkel. All locations we visit can only be reached privately so you can experience crystal-clear waters.
While you swim Captain Yiannis prepares the meal on the boat using the catch of the day.
We will then offer a lunch of homemade greek delicacies and of course truly fresh fish grilled, fried, or a fisherman's soup depending on the catch.
A glass of wine or beer is on us and all refreshments, water, and fruit are included. So, you will enjoy a full homemade lunch with the freshest organic ingredients
The boat has a cabin for two & a WC.

Frequently Asked Questions (14)
The answers provided below were previously given in response to questions from Cool Destinations customers.
Filter by:
Yes, we allow pregnant women to go on snorkeling. However, it’s crucial to consult with your healthcare provider before doing so to assess your individual health and pregnancy stage.
Jan 2022Yes, this is possible, as long as you are comfortable going into the water. All Cool Destinations snorkeling tours adhere to strict safety regulations and have been designed to be enjoyed by all.
Your safety is our #1 priority, which is why:
- You will be wearing a flotation device at all times.
- On many tours, there is a stairway from the boat into the water so you won’t have to “jump” in!
- There are trained staff in the water and watching from the boat at all times.
For these reasons, we believe that even non-swimmers can have a wonderful time on our snorkeling trips, however, the final judgment call is yours to make. Please note we do not give refunds if you decide not to snorkel on the trip.
Oct 2021The snorkel gear we use on Cool Destinations tours is high quality and for your protection, the equipment is sanitized after each use. However, if you feel more comfortable using your own snorkeling equipment, feel free to bring it on the tour. Please note, there is no discount for providing your own equipment and we can’t be responsible for any lost or damaged items.
May 2023First-time snorkelers can be assured of one-on-one instruction and assistance. We find introducing folks to our world very rewarding!
Oct 2021Yes. Whatever the fishing calls for: live bait, frozen bait, cut bait, or chum, our Charter Captains will have plentiful supplies on hand. The same thing goes for artificial bait such as lures, flies, or plugs.
Jul 2022There are no legal age limits for snorkeling. We have found that age 5 or 6 is a good age to learn the basics of snorkeling, however, it’s entirely up to individuals to make the best choice for their family.
Sep 2021If you have any doubts about becoming seasick on the water, we recommend taking a Dramamine® Motion Sickness Relief tablet the night before your trip. Some people recommend taking it the night before your cruise and then again that morning so you will not feel so drowsy.
