EXCELLENTTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I recommend a private fishing trip with Manolis for a unique local experience. The three-hour trip on his boat includes snacks and drinks. Manolis is friendly and experienced, sharing interesting stories and teaching fishing techniques.Posted onTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Excellent experience.

RewelacjaPosted onTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Had a great morning fishing trip for our family of four. Great welcome with coffee, juice for children and lovely home made marble cake. Nice 20 minute trip out to sea and began the fishing. Great instruction and of us including the children caught fish. Then we had a lovely swim in some turquoise sea. Great relaxing morning out would recommend if you want a nice fishing trip in Kalyves.Posted onTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. The fishing trip was amazing! We really enjoyed fishing with the ropes and the food was delicious! Manolis was an amazing host! We will definitely go for it again!Posted onTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Ich kann diesen fishing Trip sehr empfehlen. Manolis und Jiota waren super Gastgeber. Beide sprechen gutes Englisch und die Kommunikation per Mail war schnell und verbindlich. Das Boot liegt in dem malerischen kleinen Hafen von Kalyves und ist schnell und unkompliziert zu finden. Sollten, wie bei uns, nicht alle Mitglieder mit auf die Reise kommen (Kinder dürfen erst ab 8 Jahren auf das Boot), liegt gleich neben dem Hafen ein schöner kinderfreundlicher Strand mit Bars und allem was man für einen schönen Strandtag braucht. Die Fahrt begann mit einer ca. 20 minütigen Fahrt zu Manolis Netz. An Bord bekamen wir Kaffee und leckeren selbstgebackenem Kuchen. Das Netz wurde eingeholt und Jiota erklärte uns die jeweiligen Fische. Es kam einiges zusammen. Danach sind wir an die Mündung der Souda-Bucht gefahren und haben ein bisschen geangelt. Es haben auch ein paar kleinere Fische angebissen. Danach sind wir am bemerkenswert schönen Sosorides beach vor Anker gegangen. Dort haben Jiota und Manolis für uns gekocht. Wir hatten Zeit zu Baden und uns zu unterhalten. Das Essen war perfekt. So muss Fisch schmecken. Würzig gebraten mit einer dünnen Panade. Am Ende wurden es drei Gänge, die wir zu viert trotz Hunger nicht ganz geschafft haben. Dazu ein frischer griechischer Salat Wein aus dem Ort und zuletzt auch noch einen am Vortag gefangenen Thunfisch. Alles auf wenig Platz gekocht. Respekt. Ich habe in Restaurants schon wesentlich schlechter gegessen. Danach ging es zurück zum Ausgangspunkt. Wie haben uns sehr wohl gefühlt. Die Reise hat sich absolut gelohnt. Manolis nimmt bis zu 8 Gäste mit. Dann wird es aber auch voll auf dem Boot. Wir waren zu viert. War gut. Hier bekommt ihr: Echtes Fischerei-Handwerk Wissen über Fisch im Mittelalter Angeln im Mittelmeer Baden vom Schiff aus Köstlichkeiten für aus dem Meer Freundliche und unaufdringliche Gastgeber Klare Empfehlung!Posted onTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Excursie de familie, mic dejun cu prajituri de casă, gazde primitoare ca toți grecii. Manolis ne-a ajutat cu tot ce trebuia, ca să prindem cu toți pește, spre bucuria copiilor si bunicilor totodată. Vremea a fost minunată și marea calmă. Mulțumim și să ne revedem cu bine!Posted onTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Great morning out!! We caught many different types of fish and enjoyed a great time on the water. Manolis was very kind, informative and helpful and also took us to a beautiful spot for swimming. The spinach pies were the best we have had on this trip ☺️Verified by TrustindexTrustindex verified badge is the Universal Symbol of Trust.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Not at all! Captain Manolis will guide you through everything. Whether you’ve never held a rod or you are an experienced angler, we adapt the trip to your level. We love teaching beginners and children!
Absolutely! Our boat, “CHRISTOS,” is family-friendly and safe. Fishing is a fantastic activity for kids, and we make sure they are involved in the process, from baiting the hook to catching their first fish.
Just the basics: sunscreen, a hat, sunglasses, and non-slip shoes (sneakers or flip-flops). We provide all the professional fishing equipment, baits, and safety gear. Don’t forget your camera!
We take Cretan hospitality seriously!
Morning Trips: Fresh coffee, homemade cake, and fruit salad.
Afternoon Trips: Traditional homemade kalitsounia or pies, and refreshing drinks.
Net Fishing Trips: We cook the fresh catch of the day right on the boat for you!
Yes! If the weather allows and you wish to cool off, we can stop at secluded, crystal-clear beaches around Kalyves that are only accessible by boat. Just let Captain Manolis know!
The waters in our area are usually calm, but if you feel unwell, Captain Manolis knows exactly what to do. We recommend a light breakfast before the trip and staying hydrated. We also have basic first aid on board.
Our base is the harbor of Kalyves in Chania. We will provide you with the exact meeting point and GPS coordinates once your booking is confirmed.
Depending on the season and method, we usually catch Pandora (Lithrini), Sea Bream (Fagri/Sargos), Parrotfish, and Red Mullets (Barbouni). Every day at sea is a different adventure!
Your safety is our top priority. If the weather conditions are unsafe for sailing (strong winds or heavy sea), Captain Manolis will decide to cancel the trip. In this case, we will try to reschedule for another day. If that is not possible, you will receive a 100% full refund. For more info check cancellation policies.
We understand that plans can change. Our policy is as follows:
Up to 48 hours before the trip: Full refund or free rescheduling.
Less than 48 hours before the trip (or no-show): No refund can be issued, as it is difficult for us to fill the spot on such short notice. For more info check cancellation policies.
You can book directly through our website, or by calling us at +306907566222. Since we are a professional boat with limited capacity, we recommend booking in advance, especially during the high season (June–September).
