Few things compare with the excitement of seeing a fishing rod suddenly bend while the yacht is under sail. This expedition combines coastal cruising with one of the oldest traditions of life at sea—fishing. Together we will explore the waters around Chios and the neighboring islands, trolling during longer passages, searching for productive fishing grounds and enjoying relaxed evenings at anchor with rods in hand.
Depending on the season and the conditions, we may target tuna during offshore passages or try our luck with other Mediterranean species closer to the coast. Fishing success can never be guaranteed, and that is part of the adventure. Every day brings different weather, different waters and new opportunities to learn more about the sea and the fish that live in it.
Whenever the sea rewards our efforts, the catch becomes part of the experience. Fresh fish prepared on board, a sunset barbecue at anchor and dinner shared with friends often become the highlights of the entire voyage. Even on quieter fishing days, guests enjoy sailing, swimming, exploring small harbors and experiencing authentic life aboard a classic expedition yacht.
No previous sailing or fishing experience is necessary. Whether you already enjoy fishing or simply want to experience the Mediterranean from a completely different perspective, this expedition offers an unforgettable combination of sailing, exploration and life at sea.
