Skevos Fishing Trip Rhodes: Catch, Grill and Swim in the Aegean
Head out from Rhodes on a 10‑meter traditional boat to learn trolling and bottom fishing from Skevos and his father. Spend five hours catching predator fish, snorkeling, and eating your fresh‑grilled catch with Greek salad and local bread.
The Experience
Before You Go
Take seasickness precautions
If you’re prone to motion sickness, take medication before boarding and sit midboat where motion is least felt.
Sun protection is mandatory
Bring high‑SPF sunscreen, a wide‑brim hat, and UV sunglasses—reflection off water intensifies exposure.
Wear non‑slip shoes
Decks get wet during fishing and swimming; shoes with good grip keep you steady when hauling lines or moving about.
Keep a small dry bag
Protect phones, cameras and documents from spray while still having them accessible for photos of catches.

Fishing is woven into Rhodes’ maritime heritage—local families have worked these waters for generations, blending Ottoman, Italian and Greek seafaring practices into modern small‑boat tradition.
