Kos Harbour, 1939 to now
Photographs from the boat
Everything here was taken on the Captain Tasos, on the water off Kos Town or on the quay where we tie up. No stock photographs, no borrowed boats.
Out on the Aegean
Three hours of open water, a few hundred metres to a couple of miles off Kos Town, depending on the wind and where the fish are.
On board
Twelve people at most, so there is room to hold a rod properly. Some guests have fished for years, others learn on the day.
What comes up
Seabream, seabass, pork fish, parrotfish. Whatever you catch is yours to keep, and Noah’s Ark on the harbour will cook it for you at no charge.

The same boat, ten years ago
These are phone photographs, taken by the family in the ordinary run of the work. A fish worth showing on the way back in, the boat out of the water for its yearly coat of paint, the hand-painted board that told people what we did before there was a website. Tasos is in several of them. The boat you step onto today is the boat in these pictures.
Every week, from the boat
The rest is on Instagram
Alex posts the day’s catch, the weather and the odd dolphin. It is the quickest way to see what the sea is doing before you come.
