Fishing trips in Mirabello Bay, Agios Nikolaos: Catch and swim

You catch the fish yourself, not just watch from the deck.

A fishing trip in Mirabello Bay from Agios Nikolaos marina where you cast a rod, swim in the bay's turquoise water, and eat snacks prepared by the captain. The boat leaves from the marina, heads to the best fishing grounds depending on conditions, and stops at a secluded bay for a swim before returning. English-speaking Captain Kostas, with 30 years at sea, leads groups of all fitness levels.

The experience

You meet Captain Kostas at Agios Nikolaos marina, board the boat Monomahos, and head into Mirabello Bay. The captain picks the fishing spot based on the day's conditions, then hands you a rod. You cast and reel. This is not a spectator trip. The water is clear enough that you'll see what's below as you fish.

Once the fishing winds down, the boat anchors at one of the bay's quieter coves. You swim in the turquoise water, and the captain brings out a filling snack and drinks. The whole outing runs about four hours from start to finish, built around what you actually do rather than what you see from a distance.

Is this one for you?Book this if you want to actually fish rather than watch. You'll cast the rod and handle the catch yourself. The swim and snack break the day into two parts, so it works for anyone who wants activity mixed with relaxation, not a full day of one or the other.
