A floating fishing hotel in Greece. What I like most is the 24-meter Epic steel boat setup and the way the crew helps you with fishing gear—even if it is your first time. The one thing to keep in mind: this experience needs good weather, because the day is built around time on the water.

This is a true private outing for up to 10 people, so your group gets to spread out across multiple decks, cabins, bathrooms, bars, and indoor seating areas. It also feels more like a mobile day resort than a quick boat trip, with a swimming deck and sunbathing space that make the breaks actually enjoyable.

Price is not low, but the boat size and included experience matter. If you want a calm, organized day with real fishing coaching plus time in the water, it can be excellent value for a small group. If you are cost-focused only, you may decide to compare with smaller charters.

Key Highlights You’ll Actually Feel On the Water

• 24-meter steel boat designed for stability across Greek sea distances
• Coached fishing with modern equipment, taught hands-on
• Swimming deck and sunbathing area built for long water breaks
• Space for private groups of up to 10 with cabins, bathrooms, and bars
• Two bars and two saloons so your group can split up without leaving each other

A 24-Meter Private Boat Base That Feels Like a Floating Day Resort

This is not a tiny fishing skiff. It is a reliable 24 meter steel boat with a layout that prioritizes comfort and group flow. That is a big deal in Greece, where you can get plenty of sea movement between spots. A bigger, stable platform changes how you experience the day: you spend more time relaxing and less time fighting the ride.

The boat has four cabins and five bathrooms, which is rare for a one-day outing. It means you are not crowding into one cramped corner. You also get three decks plus common indoor space (two saloons) for when you want shade or a break from sun.

One of my favorite practical details: there is a modern kitchen and multiple refrigerators on board. That matters because food quality often suffers when a boat is trying to do everything last-minute. Here, the setup suggests the day is designed to run smoothly, not just to look good for photos.

What You’ll Do All Day: Cruises, Colorful Bays, Swimming, and Water Activities

You get a full day of sea time through the islands, with stops in colorful bays and ports. The goal is simple: mix travel between spots with time to actually be in the water. You are not just passing by coastline from a distance.

At each stop, you have time for swimming and water activities. This is the part that tends to make a boat day feel worth it. Big boats can sometimes mean long “travel stretches” between tiny breaks. In this case, the format keeps the rhythm: sail, stop, swim, repeat.

The boat also includes a swimming deck and sunbathing area. That means when you are not in the water, you can still enjoy the sea without having to go back inside every time. You can picture it as your home base. If your group has different energy levels, the deck setup helps everyone find their pace.

A small reality check: you will want to plan around what the sea is doing that day. Since the experience is weather-dependent, your schedule can shift if conditions are poor. That is not a flaw—just how water-based days work.

Fishing Without Guesswork: Modern Equipment and Crew Coaching

If you are curious about fishing but do not want to waste the day figuring out gear, this is the kind of trip that makes sense. The boat comes equipped with the latest equipment for fishing and marine adventure, and an experienced team will teach you how to use it.

That coaching is the difference between a fishing trip that feels like a hit-or-miss activity and one that actually teaches you something. You are not left standing on deck watching others work. You get guidance for using the tools correctly, and that typically boosts both confidence and results.

One detail that stood out in the feedback from people who booked for family and friends: the layout can feel close to the action. They described the ability to fish from very near the cabin area—so the experience does not require constant running around the boat.

Another advantage: the day is built as a combination—sea cruising plus fishing plus water time. That means even if fishing is slower one moment, you are still spending your day in the fun parts of the islands: swimming stops, ports, and relaxation aboard a well-run boat.

Food, Bars, Cabins, and Space for Up to 10 People

A lot of private boat days sound good until you hit the real question: where do you all hang out? Here, the boat design is made for a group. You have two bars, two saloons, and room to move between decks.

The bars are not just a nice-to-have. They support an easy flow for a group day: you can grab a drink, cool down, and reset without everyone gathering in one spot. When people are on boats for hours, that kind of spacing helps keep the mood relaxed.

Food is included as part of the day experience, and the overall tone from feedback is very positive—people pointed to outstanding service and food, plus strong organization. In plain terms: if the crew is keeping meals and timings under control, the day feels smoother.

Accommodation also matters. With four cabins and five bathrooms, you get a level of comfort that makes the boat feel like more than a “seat on deck.” For families and friend groups, it turns the trip into a shared hangout rather than a rotating set of activities.

Practical note: because the boat has multiple levels and common areas, you can handle a mixed group. Someone may want shade and conversation indoors. Someone else may be spending more time on the deck or in the water.

How the Day Starts: Salamis Ferry Port Meeting Point and Pickup

Your day begins at Salamis FerryPaloukia, 189 00, Greece, and it ends back at the same meeting point. That simple loop is helpful if you do not want to think about transportation at the end of a long day on the water.

Pickup is offered, and you also get a mobile ticket, which tends to make meeting up easier. If you are traveling with friends, pickup can also save time, since you avoid coordinating multiple independent arrivals.

It is also listed as being near public transportation, so if you prefer to handle the approach yourself, you are not stuck in a remote dead end.

If you want the smoothest start, aim to arrive with enough time to settle, find your way around the meeting point, and get ready before the boat departs.

Price and Value: What $3,470.45 Per Group Means in Real Life

The price is $3,470.45 per group, up to 10 people, for an approximate one-day experience. On paper, it looks like a lot. The value depends on how you would otherwise spend your day in Athens and the islands.

Here is the practical math: for 10 people, it works out to about $347 per person. If you fill fewer seats, the per-person cost rises, so this trip is best when you actually use the group size.

Why it can be worth it:

• You are paying for a private outing, not sharing a boat with strangers.
• You get a large, stable 24-meter setup with cabins, bathrooms, and multiple decks.
• The crew includes hands-on fishing instruction plus a full day that blends cruising, swimming, and fishing.
• The boat has bars, saloons, kitchen, and sun/sea areas, which supports a comfortable day rather than a cramped tour.

This is not a budget charter. It is closer to paying for a floating space where your group can relax, eat, swim, and fish with support. If that is your goal, the pricing can make sense quickly.

Who This Private Sea and Fishing Day Is Best For

This experience fits best when you want control and comfort.

It is especially good for:

• Small groups of friends who want a fun day with shared activities and space
• Families who like the idea of a boat day that feels like a calm “hotel on the water”
• People who want a first-timer fishing experience with coaching, not trial-and-error

The tour is private, meaning only your group participates. That usually makes the day feel more personal and easier to enjoy at your own pace.

Also, service animals are allowed, and most people can participate, which broadens who can consider it. Still, since the day runs on the water, you should plan for the basic reality of sea conditions and weather.

Should You Book EPIC BOAT for Your Athens Getaway?

I would book this if you want one day that covers a lot of ground without feeling rushed: sea cruising, swimming breaks, and fishing that is taught, all from a stable private boat base. The comfort layer is real here—cabins, multiple bathrooms, decks, bars, and food support make it feel like a true day out, not a quick excursion.

I would think twice if you are booking only for fishing and you’re hoping for a low-cost option. The price is group-based, so it shines when you fill seats and when you actually plan to enjoy the full mix of sea time, relaxation, and water activities.

If you want a relaxed, organized day that your group will remember for swimming spots and a well-run fishing experience, this one is a strong choice.
