TOUR DESCRIPTION
Embark on a two-day private fishing charter to the timeless Antikythera Island, nestled 40 nautical miles away from Crete. This secluded gem, untouched by modernity, offers an authentic glimpse into Greece’s past century. With only a handful of fishermen as inhabitants, this tranquil haven is a portal to a bygone era.
Under the expert guidance of captains Minos and Panos, immerse yourself in the thrill of deep-sea fishing amidst the pristine waters of the Aegean. Antikythera’s depths teem with Groupers, Amberjacks, Tunas, and Pagrus – promising an unforgettable angling experience.
Beyond the pursuit of the perfect catch, savor the simplicity of life as you indulge in local flavors at a quaint traditional taverna. Picture yourself dining on freshly caught delights, perhaps experiencing the art of carpaccio, all while surrounded by the untouched beauty of Antikythera.
Escape the concrete jungle for two days of unbridled nature and the vast ocean. Whether you reel in a big fish or find solace in the untamed landscape, each moment promises an authentic encounter with a Greece reminiscent of days gone by. Join us for an expedition where the essence of the past converges with the thrill of the present.

FAQ
The price of this private fishing charter from Chania to Antikythera Island starts from 2650 euros with an 11 meters RIB for groups of up to 4 persons
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.
We share the fish that we catch. On this two-day trip, you can take up to 5 kg of fish with you and we can also eat our catch while we stay on the island. When the trip is finished, we can clean your fish and arrange a nice restaurant for you and your family/company to eat the fish all together the next day or when we return to Crete.
Catch and release are also allowed.
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.
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.
Remember 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.
