I'm Panagiotis and I have started fishing at the age of 5 years old. I remember myself going with my father, who was my first teacher for spearfishing. I have been at the sea from such a very young age and my ability to dive deep, gave me the advantage to learn quickly about the habits of fish. I became a freediver and a freediver-instructor. Now, I want to teach you how to free-dive and go spearfishing to catch that big fish you have always been dreaming of! Even if you are not experienced in spearfishing you can always observe me going for spearfishing. I'll catch your fish and then we'll grill it on board of our RIB boat and dine all together! Are you ready for this experience to live like a local Cretan?

Great experience! Everyone caught fish!
My wife and I went spearfishing on our honeymoon and had a fantastic time! Panos, our guide was friendly and taught us everything we needed to know for our first time spearfishing -- nobody left empty-handed. On the trip to our two fishing spots, he told us stories about different island we passed and shared information we needed to know for spearfishing safely. The scenery on the trip there was beautiful, and the water was pristine for diving.

An Unforgettable Adventure
As first time free divers and Spearfishers, Panos and Dimos took great care of us. The trip was safe, exciting, and fun. Everything we did felt like a national geographic series. Panos taught us, coached us, and cheered us on as we each shot a fish! Truly a once in a lifetime experience!

SEAze the memories of a lifetime with Panos and Makis!
Had an incredible full-day experience with Panos and Makis that included sight-seeing, snorkeling, spearfishing, and a private island dinner. This experience was the ultimate culmination of our Grecian honeymoon and we couldn't have asked for better guides. Panos and Makis were personable, empathetic, and extremely knowledgable of both the art of spearfishing, as well as the historical stories and lore of the Cretan coast. Would highly recommend SEAze The Day to anyone looking for an adventure tailored to their own interests, desires, and limits. 100% a 5-out-of-5 experience, thanks so much!
Response from the operator: Thank you for your wonderful review! We’re thrilled to hear that your full-day experience with Panos and Makis was the highlight of your honeymoon. It’s great that you enjoyed the snorkeling, spearfishing, and private island dinner, and that the guides provided such personalized service and local knowledge. We appreciate your recommendation and look forward to welcoming you back for more adventures!

Fantastic Spearfishing Experience w Family
Panos was fantastic! Given suboptimal weather on the day we had scheduled to go out, we had to reschedule to a later day in the trip. Couldn't have asked for a better change to plans as my wife and 2 boys (5 and 8) got to join me on the boat while I went spearfishing. Visibility was fantastic, Panos provided good guidance into where to target given species at various depths and had the opportunity to try shooting a few different spearguns. The experience was an absolute hi light of our 3 week visit to Greece. Thank you, Panos!
Response from the operator: Thank you for your fantastic review! We're delighted that Panos made your rescheduled trip such a highlight. It's great to hear your wife and boys enjoyed the boat while you went spearfishing. We're glad Panos's guidance and the opportunity to try different spearguns made the experience memorable. Thank you for choosing us during your 3-week visit to Greece!

Awesome first boat experience
We took a whole day trip around N-W Crete visiting 5 or 6 beaches were we could dive from the boat. The Skipper, Nikos, was very pleasant and helpful, We had a lot of interesting conversations with him and he dived at some point to fetch us some fresh sea urchin and shells to try out. Everything was provided throughout the trip: watter, soft drinks, food and most important .... BEER! Overall an awsome experience and if we return to Crete we definitely will book some other trips with them.
Response from the operator: Thank you for your amazing review! We're thrilled to hear you enjoyed your whole day trip around N-W Crete with us. It's wonderful that Nikos made your experience pleasant and engaging, and that you enjoyed diving and trying fresh sea urchin and shells. We're glad the provisions, especially the beer, added to your enjoyment. We look forward to welcoming you back to Crete for more trips in the future!

Spearfishing in Chania, Crete (price is per group): questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Chania.
How much does Spearfishing in Chania, Crete (price is per group) cost?
+
Prices start at $971 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Chania usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Spearfishing in Chania, Crete (price is per group) take?
+
Plan for about 6 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Chania is not rushed.
Is Spearfishing in Chania, Crete (price is per group) worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 63 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 19 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Chania, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Spearfishing in Chania, Crete (price is per group)?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Spearfishing in Chania, Crete (price is per group) suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 6-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Spearfishing in Chania, Crete (price is per group)?
+
Around 7 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Chania can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Chania and add a light layer if any part of the 6-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Spearfishing in Chania, Crete (price is per group) start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Chania within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Chania?
+
On Outty we rank every Chania experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Cretan Safari – 4x4 Adventure to Preveli Beach with Lunch, Elafonisi & Falasarna Small Group Tour from Chania w/snacks, Half-Day Rethymno Quad Safari. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Chania?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Chania?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
