The coastguard said that The Passengers " refused any help" and that none on board were wearing life jackets.
But just a few hours later, The Boat capsized and sank, triggering a search and rescue operation, which was then complicated by strong winds.
The Boat was reportedly En Route to Italy from Libya, with most of those on board reportedly men in their 20s.
The nationalities of The Victims have Not Yet been announced. Survivors have been taken to The Town of Kalamata for treatment.
Greece is one of the main routes into the European Union for refugees and migrants from the Middle East , Asia and Africa.
Last month The Greek government came under international criticism over video footage reportedly showing the forceful expulsion of migrants who were set adrift at sea.
More Than 70,000 refugees and migrants have arrived in Europe's frontline countries this year, with the majority landing in Italy, according to UN data.
