TOUR DESCRIPTION
The highlight of our marine excursions, which have taken our fame and the satisfaction of our customers to their highest levels! A rare experience you can not usually buy is the absolute enjoyment of the genuine, which brings you into contact with the luxury of returning to the primitive.
Everything begins in Chania as a private excursion for 4-5 people in a safe vessel in the pristine waters of Gramvousa and Balos. There, you will enjoy swimming and relaxation in the immense beauty of the surroundings. At the same time, the well-known Panos, the fisherman Gordon Ramsey chose, and one of the most sought-after professionals in Crete, together with other hand-picked spear fishermen, dive to a depth of 30m with spear guns to hunt for your meal.
From the depths of the crystal clear water, the famed tasty Mediterranean fish arrive in your hands directly from the divers’ spear guns. Depending on luck and the weather, the catch includes every kind of treasure from the sea, every category of fish, and crustaceans. Whatever the result, “the tastiest fish is the freshest”! And the experience of tasting fish brought out of the sea before your eyes is unforgettable.
Panos will share the adventure of his underwater fishing and the names of the various fish. He will descale and clean the fish on the spot and prepare the rest of your unforgettable escape with the other staff. Either lighting a fire on the shore or taking you to the graphic shack of a local fisherman, a meal of freshness and taste is waiting only for you from the sea straight to your palate. You will accompany it with other local dishes and Cretan wine or beer.
IN SEAze The Day, we do not simply want you to have a good time. We want you to live important and priceless participation moments in nature, feeling privileged that you made our acquaintance!
Free snorkeling supplies (upon request), drinks, and barbeque on board (catch of the day!).
Suggested starting time: 9.30 a.m.
