Tripadvisor gives a Travellers’ Choice award to accommodations, attractions and restaurants that consistently earn great reviews from travellers and are ranked within the top 10% of properties on Tripadvisor.
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?

      Highlight of our trip!
      This was the highlight of our trip. We arranged a private transfer from Chania to Santorini. We knew we would be stopping off at Milos. Some of us in the group didn’t know what to expect, thought we would be just dropped off in town to walk around, have lunch and then continue to Santorini. Boy were we wrong. Panos and Dimitris were our captains. They took us to numerous locations to get off and swim and snorkel and explore caves. Demitris prepared us a little snack of fresh cucumber and tomatoes with EVOO and salt that he had harvested from a nearby island. Wow! That local salt is amazing. Each spot was more breathtaking than the previous. It culminated with us spending almost 2 hours at Blue Bay in Poliegos. This is where both of our captains prepared our lunch, fresh fish crudo, which Panos’ friend had caught the morning of our transfer, prepared simply with EVOO and more salt. Then Demitris, in the blistering heat, worked over the grill with steak, tomatoes, and red peppers with amazing fresh herbs. Everything was delicious! After a full day of lounging, swimming, eating and drinking, our captains whisked us off to our destination of Santorini. When we arrived, Panos pulled us into the first port, where Demitris jumped off to get us all coffees from a local barista, which was very much needed. Then on to our final port of call, where out driver was waiting for us. Demitris and Panos cheered us with a shot and took a great picture with us. They were heading back to Chania the next morning for another charter, so we invited them to a drink after dinner. They joined us and we had an amazing time getting to know them better. You both will forever be in our memories of our trip to Greece and remembered as the highlight of the trip!!

      Amazing experience
      Lefteri gave us an amazing once in a lifetime experience…Amazing tour to the fort and then Balos beach and I highly recommend listening to his recommendations and taking them…so many little stops on the way that made it that much more special…swims in some isolated places. We had 10 people on the tour…2 x 10 year olds, 2 x 15 year olds and 6 adults…easily catered for all of us…plenty of drinks and food… Thank you!!! From Dimitrios, Andrew, Richard, Paula, Katherine, Sarah, Hugo, Claudia, Nadia and Phillippa.

      Unbelievebly magical experience
      Big thanks to Captain Lefteris; it was the best trip for a newlywed couple I could imagine. Highly recommend! And Captain did a very tasty barbecue for us, which was better than in restaurants. The Balos bliss 6-hour trip was a dream tour for us, and I can't imagine the world where we didn't get it. Big thanks for the atmosphere and great emotions. I will make sure that it is not our last tour together. Special thanks for home-made graviera cheese; it's delicious as hell.

      An exhilarating, tranquil boat trip. The highlight of our holiday.
      The Kissamos, Balos, Gramvousa boat trip was the highlight of our wonderful holiday in Crete. There were 7 of us (aged 20-70) and we all thought it was amazing! The experience was both exhilarating and tranquil and the scenery was stunningly beautiful. Captain Lefteris made us feel safe. He was friendly, well informed and incredibly hospitable, providing sandwiches, snacks, drinks (alcoholic and non alcoholic) and fruit- including enormous juicy peaches and apples from his own garden. Captain Lefteris took us to additional crystal clear swimming and snorkelling bays, away from the crowds, with nothing but goats, birds and multicoloured fish for company! Thank you for an unforgettable experience. We loved every minute 😍 Louise, family and friends.

      The best way to see Balos beach and beat the crowds
      The boat trip to Balos and Gramvousa was our best spent day on Crete. The 6-hour journey with captain Lefteris is probably the best way to see Balos beach and spend time swimming in incredible waters. We were four adults and two children 9-10 y.o. and we all enjoyed the whole trip.

      A stunning day on the ocean
      This trip is amazing. From start to finish we were treated to non stop hospitality. It was booked as a birthday treat and it more than delivered. The views and stop offs were amazing, and perfectly timed to avoid the crowds. Our crew Demitri, Yannis and Jessica were INCREDIBLE. The food provided by Jessica was of restaurant standard (from the tiny kitchen - insane!) the two guys kept the boat steady and the drinks on tap. If anyone need a hand getting around the catamaran they appeared quickly - nothing was too much trouble. I’d highly recommend this trip.

      We had an anazing day with Captain Lefteris. The boat was spacious, clean and well stocked. Our skipper was very helpful and informative. Everything comes as advertised in terms of snorkelling, equipment, drinks and food. Great trip to Gramvousa and Balos beach.

      Fantastic - worth it for the wonderful memories
      We had the most wonderful boat trip with SEAze The Day on a half day trip (4hours) on a from Kolymvari to Menies: A Secret Coastal Gems Boat Exploration. We were 8 in total on their Luxury Cabin Boat with WC (peace of mind is always good) - and we were two families - 4 adults, and 4 children aged between 10-16. We were celebrating a 16th birthday and it was a wonderful way to do this. Whilst a private boat hire does feel like an extravagance, we decided it was a way for the kids - and us all - to experience the beautiful sea and coves of Greece without the crowds that inevitably come with summer school holidays in August. So it was an investment for great memories on a special day - and the trip and our lovely Captain Minos, did not disappoint. Food was simple but delicious and thoughtful - choice of delicious Greek sandwiches with great bread and produce, or burgers in buns for kids if they didn't fancy the sandwiches. Had we thought about it we might have asked more about ingredients but as we did this through our lovely AirBnB Host we didn't bother, but the team at SEAze The Day seem so friendly we are sure if you needed to know or specify they would be happy to discuss. Drinks were also provided, and snorkels and masks but we also had some of our own. Worth checking what they can provide if you don't have your own, they seemed to have things onboard but not sure how many. Whilst there's plenty of shade, do take plenty of sunscreen/hats, and if you plan to snorkel or swim lots, then recommend taking rash vests to extend enjoyment without risking sunburn. Captain Minos was great - very conscientious about ensuring that we were in a secluded bay or cove, soon moving on if anyone else turned up, and so we felt that he and SEAze The Day really did deliver their promise that we would experience true 'secret' coastal gems of the northern coastline, locally known as 'The Ear'. Thank you so much Captain Minos and all at SEAze The Day - we all had such a fantastic time and great memories to take home.

      Fantastic Day on the Water with Seaze The Day - Highlight of our Vacation
      We chartered a boat with Seaze The Day to visit all the main beaches in Western Crete (Balos, Gramvousa Island, Elafonisi, Falasarna…and many more). Was the highlight of our vacation and we had an amazing time with our captain and assistant, Nikos and Gregory. Very experienced sailors that kept us safe, and very personable individuals that made the day that much more enjoyable getting to know them and hear their experiences with Crete and Greece in general. We learned so much from them and had a great time getting to know them as individuals. We even had the rare opportunity to have dinner with the Keeper of the Island on Gramvousa Island. Fantastic meal in a very unique setting. Amazing day, thank you Nikos and Gregory! Best day of our vacation thanks to you and Seaze The Day!

    This is our second year having amazing boat trips with Seaze the Day! Panos and Sotiris are fabulous hosts - always great food, drinks and chat! We are all in great moods for a week after a boat trip with them. Wine glasses were brought especially for us, just showing how great their customer service is. The fish is spearfished and cooked right in front of us in the best way - olive oil, lemon and salt!

    The sunset trip is just as mesmerising, great tunes and speed along the coast of Crete! Swimming in the most beautiful blue water and pink beaches (only accessible by boat!).

    Being on this boat is better then I ever thought imaginable! I would recommend this to anyone coming to Chania or Crete!

    Had an awesome time with Panos and Nikos. We came during a tough time of year where the water was cold and fish were hidden but Panos still showed us great spots and we were able to catch many fish and two lobsters! Sign of a true fisherman who knows the area well. Would recommend highly, they will not disappoint!

    100% would recommend!! Besides the breath taking view and the amazing diving experience - the hospitality was unmatched. The guides went above and beyond from the spear fishing instruction and the safety all the way to the service on/off the boat! Don’t pass up an opportunity like this! PS - Panos is a wonderful ‘cook’!

    Great experience spearfishing with Panos and Sotiris! They were so patient explaining the basics of spearfishing and they helped us to catch out very first fish with a speargun. I would highly recommend SEAze The Day for anyone even slightly interested in fishing, it’s a great way to explore the water and have fun with good company 👍. 10/10

    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.

    Having already been on the most incredible sunset cruise - we decided to make a whole day of it with these guys.

    This trip included a visit to stunning Balos (that doesn’t need extolling as it speaks for itself in beauty and wilderness) and onto other secluded private beaches caves and little coves.

    Then our two man crew embarked on spearfishing at depths of 15 -20 metres free-driving catching what you see and cooking it straight fresh on the boat.

    The whole day was mesmerising, heart stoppingly stunning and just the best life experience of nature and scenery.

    All the crew we met have been utter professionals, passionate about their jobs and great fun too!

    Crete offer breathtaking geography and geology of mountains, sea and sand!

    It was a birthday gift... a magic and beautiful moment with Paniagotis and Sotiris. After years of snorkelling and scuba diving, the opportunity to learn spearfishing, or to practice, depending on where you are. Nice spots, great boat trip for my family and a fantastic experience which really gave me the willingness to invest in equipment and go spearfishing again !

    Grab the moment, and afterwards, you will also enjoy some fishes to cook on the grill :-)

    Fantastic day spear fishing with Panos! Panos taught me exactly how to use the speargun and took us to a great spot!

    I managed to get a few and bought them home to eat with the sea salt panos had collected from the local rocks and given to me.

    We even ate one of the fish on the boat less than 20 minutes after getting out of the water with a local lemon and olive oil.

    Amazing experience! Highly recommended

    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!
