This private, five-hour excursion around Rodos blends a short panoramic city tour with hands-on fishing at multiple bays, a snorkel swim in natural caves and a barbecue onboard. The experienced crew supplies all fishing and snorkeling equipment, helps anglers of every level, and prepares a fresh grill — including the fish you catch — against the island’s Aegean backdrop.

Highlights

Outing Highlights

THE SIGHTS

Panoramic City Tour of Rodos

The trip opens with a short city circuit that offers photo stops and panoramic views of Rodos’s Old Town, the windmills and the Palace of the Grand Master before heading offshore.

THE CATCH

Multi‑spot Fishing with All Gear Provided

The boat drops a para-anchor and moves through three to four different bays to increase the variety of fish encountered; fishing equipment is provided and the crew teaches and assists everyone on board.

THE WATER

Swim and Snorkel at Kalithea Caves with On‑board Barbecue

After fishing the vessel sails to the Kalithea caves where guests can swim and snorkel in natural caverns while the crew prepares a barbecue — grilled fish (including your catch), chicken or vegetarian options — with salads, bread and fruit; drinks are served cold throughout the trip.

What the day feels like

What the five hours feel like

Expect a paced, sociable outing: a shore‑side sweep of Rodos’s landmark silhouettes, then a day on the water that alternates focused fishing stops with relaxed swim-and-eat interludes. The crew runs the lines, coaches hands-on, supplies snorkeling gear and a GoPro, and stages a shared barbecue so the day finishes over plates of fresh grilled food and cold drinks.
