TOUR DESCRIPTION
If you are an experienced spearfisherman, or someone that loves adventures and tries out new extreme activities, then you shouldn’t miss an all day private spearfishing charter in Chania. Panagiotis is a professional spearo and local fisherman that will be your guide on your private boat tour. Actually Panos is a licensed free-dive instructor and can teach you how to hold your breath, and show you how to improve your technique in order to dive safer and deeper. Spearfishing is one of the most selective ways of fishing in which the diver chooses which fish to hunt. During this all day spearfishing experience, we will dive in amazing crystal clear waters with a rich seabed. We will explore the coast and the underwater world of Crete while holding our breath. Finally, when fishing is over, we will visit some small private beaches and bays to enjoy the sea and the sun. Barbeque on board (catch of the day) can also be arranged upon request, and we’ll even taste carpaccio with fish caught by our hands.

WHAT WE MAY CATCH

If you are a more experienced diver and can dive at depths between 10 -35 meters, our targets will be different kinds of groupers (dusky, white, golden), amberjacks, dentex and seabreams.

We cannot guarantee that we will catch fish, despite our expertise, but we guarantee that we will try our best to do…As a famous quote says… That is why it is called fishing and not catching!

These are the average water temperatures per Month in Crete:

The waters are usually also very visible during Summer. (15-30 meters of vertical visibility)
We share the fish that we catch. On this all-day trip, you can take up to one fish weighing up to 5 kg with you, or a total of 5 kg of fish. We will also prepare some carpaccio on board from the fish that we caught. Then, we can clean them on board and arrange a nice restaurant for you and your family/company to enjoy the rest of the fish.
Additionally, we can also have a barbeque on board upon request.
Between June 15 and September 10, bring your Beachwear, Towels, Sunscreen Hat, sunglasses, and a long-sleeved shirt (for sun protection). Remember to bring a wind jacket if you book a trip earlier than June 15. The average (low-high) temperature in the Summer (June -August) in Crete is 20-33 degrees, usually without clouds.
For the months of April, May, June (1st half), September (second half), and October, the average temperature may vary between 18-28 degrees. Bring a long-sleeved shirt or a wind -jacket in case of cloudy weather, rain, or a late return to the Port.
Don’t forget to bring travel gums if you think you may feel sea sickness. Take the first dose 30 minutes before our fishing charter begins.
If you are an advanced spearo we suggest that you bring your own carbon -fins, wetsuit, masks and snorkels. During Summer (15 June -15 September) a 3-4 mm wet suit will be more than enough for an all day spearfishing activity. For April -May and September to November, a 5 mm wetsuit will keep you warm enough to fish for a couple of hours. In the winter season (December -March, a 6-7mm wetsuit will keep you warm for 5-6 hours in the water. You will also need gloves and neoprene socks If you don’t have a wetsuit, quote us about providing you with the equipment.
