About this tour

Step aboard for an authentic Cretan fishing adventure where tradition & 100% authentic Crete! 🇬🇷 meets pure seaside joy! ⚓

Our journey begins from the port at 6:15 PM, just as the sun begins to dip low. With our friendly local crew, you’ll learn to set the traditional fishing nets — a timeless ritual that’s been part of island life for generations. Learn the ropes (literally!) from our friendly local crew as you help prepare the nets and hear stories from the sea. 🐟

Grab a rod (or a drink — your choice 😄) and enjoy 1.5 hours of fishing, swimming, or just relaxing on deck while the Aegean sparkles around you. 

When the nets come up, the excitement begins — what’s inside today’s catch? Our crew will happily explain the fish, share local stories, and make you feel like part of the family.

And because no great evening is complete without good company and a drink in hand, enjoy wine, beer, raki, soft drinks, and fresh fruit — all included! 🍷🍉

Whether you’re a curious first-timer, a seasoned angler, or just chasing the perfect sunset shot, this evening promises fun, discovery, and unforgettable memories.

So grab your hat, bring your smile, and join us for a fishing trip that’s equal parts adventure, laughter, and magic at sea. ✨
