First Fishing Trip - Wow! Where do I start. This lovely family were so charming and accommodating from start to finish. We had problems with transportation getting to Kos harbour which they sorted out for a minimum fee. At the end of the trip it was one of the passengers birthdays and just before we got off the boat they brought on board a huge chocolate cake and we all sang happy birthday and had a slice. It was a lovely kind gesture. The trip took three hours, and it went by so quickly. There were only 6 passengers on the boat and three staff, it was lovely. Everyone caught at least one fish ( sea bass, puffa fish and the local fish- sorry I can’t remember its name). We had over 30 fish between us at the end. Drinks were provided and a sandwich if you wanted one. Overall an excellent few hours out on a covered boat ( which we were grateful for as it was 40 degrees). I would highly recommend this trip. Never fished before and we had a blast. ( we are two 60 year old women trying something new/ different and we were so happy we did!

Fishing trip on Kos - It was a nice fishing trip. Friendly staff. You get a drink and a sandwich on the boat. If you have motion sickness and the weather is not nice then I do not recommend to go. In this case, the boat is very wobbly and it will make you feel sick for sure. But this will only happen in bad weather.

Nice excursion! - Nice experience! We left by boat with 4 other people. Olga and her uncle kindly welcomed us and took us to a fishing spot. We each had a fishing rod, all that remained was to bring in fish! Good time had! Thanks to Olga who worried throughout the trip if we were thirsty or hungry! Possibility of eating the fish caught in a tavern or leaving with it. We recommend !

Unserious - Unprofessional, unserious, not looking out for the customer's best interest, coffee was a dry sandwich and a soft drink, one guy on the boat slept in the cabin, the other fished by himself, there were 7 of us in total and we all had to fish on the same side, which resulted in the lines getting tangled together. They stayed at 2 places in 3 hours despite zero pacifiers in 1 hour, there were 3 of us who got 3 small fish. I think if you look out for the customers' best interests, you can try to change places, tell us where we are and why, what kind of fish they have, etc. There were several of us who tried to ask questions but got short answers. It felt like we were all just a nuisance. However, the girl on the boat was nice and happy, unlike the other 2. Paid almost SEK 1800 for me and my 3 children and this was under all criticism!
