FAQ
The price of this 6-hour private fishing charter from Chania starts from 850 euros for groups of up to 4 persons. You can extend your trip for an additional 80 euros per extra hour.
The techniques may vary depending on the season, the fish species, the weather conditions, and the fishing spots. Usually, we do spinning and bottom fishing with silicone lures and jigs or use live bait (small fishes or squids). Our usual targets will be Groupers, Dentex, Amberjacks, Squids, or a variety of smaller fish.
We will first catch squids between January to April and September to December. This will be our main bait for bottom fishing. Squids are the best bait for our waters, especially if it is fresh!
In Summer (May-August), we will primarily fish with silicon lures and jigs at depths between 30-100 meters, or bait (shrimps -squids) targeting groupers, snappers, and small tunas. During summer, the fish are more suspicious, and fishing is more difficult as we can’t keep the baits alive due to hot temperatures. Therefore, we recommend combining the tour in the summer season with a fun day out in the water, swimming and relaxing!
We share the fish that we catch. On full-day trips, you have the option to take up to one fish weighing 5 kg or a total of 5 kg of fish*. Afterward, we can clean it and arrange a pleasant restaurant for you and your family/company to savor the catch. Catch and release are also allowed.
*Additionally, you can relish carpaccio made from your own fish, paired with sea salt directly collected from the Cretan shore, while on the boat!
Yes, you can. However, you can’t fish altogether. Only up to 4 people can fish at the same time. The others can rest on the boat and relax or wait their turn. If everybody wants to fish, we can arrange a second boat for you.
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 that you may feel sea sickness. Take the first dose 30 minutes before our fishing charter begins.
- In the chance of inconvenient weather conditions, there will be the following options:
- SEAze The Day will postpone the date.
- Change the departure and return point accordingly upon arrangement with the guest.
- If none of the two options above are feasible for the client, SEAze The Day shall refund the deposit amount.
- In the event of cancellation more than 10 days before the date of the boat trip, the guest shall receive the 50% of the deposit.
- In the event of notifying us about the cancellation less than 10 days before the date of the boat trip, SEAze The Day shall keep the entire deposit.
We require a 20% deposit for a booking. The remaining balance is paid upon arrival at the Port before the boat departs.
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.
There are no health restrictions, but please notify us if you have children under the age of 4, if you have a pregnant person in your group, if you have any allergies, or if a person with disabilities.
