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.
*Fishing needs patience; the amount and the size of the fish that we will catch depend on the day, the weather conditions, the season, your experience, and luck. 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!
FAQ
The price of this private spearfishing charter from Chania starts from 620 euros, featuring an open deck RIB for groups of up to 2 persons. Additional travelers (up to 5-6 persons) are welcome upon request, but please note that only two can fish simultaneously.
These are the average water temperatures per Month in Crete:
June: 20 -23, july: 22-24, August: 22-25, September: 23 -26, October: 22-24, November: 20-22, December: 18-20, January: 17-18, February: 16-18, March: 15-17, April: 17-19, May: 18-20
The waters are usually also very visible during Summer. (15-30 meters of vertical visibility)
We share the fish that we catch. On this half-day trip, you can take up to one fish of 3 kg with you. Then, we can clean it and arrange a nice restaurant for you and your family/company to eat the fish.
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 a half 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. If you don’t have a wetsuit, quote us about providing you with the equipment.

- SEAze The Day will postpone the date.

All our boats have portable fire extinguishers, a first aid kit, flares, a floating anchor, a spare boat engine or two main engines, a depth sounder, and a geodetic tracking system (GPS tracker). Also, our staff is highly trained in emergencies, following a specific safety protocol.
The guides also are well experienced free-divers that follow all the safety measurements and protocols during the spearfishing process. We NEVER dive alone, an advanced free-diver will accompany you, you will have a diving buoy and the boat following you in case you need any help.
Waters in Crete are safe enough. There are no strong currents, they have good visibility, the temperature is good and there are no sharks in the area.
There are no health restrictions, but please notify us if you have young children, if you have a pregnant person in your group, if you have any allergies, or if a person with disabilities. In order to try spearfishing you should at least know how to swim and use a mask and a snorkel. You should be at least also on an average fitness level.
