Description
Why chartering a sailing boat for a fishing-trip is such a great idea?
There is no better thing than fishing with the power of sails. The sailing yacht speed is ideal for line fishing and is a unique experience even for experienced fishermen.
We organize special fishing trips with fishing lines or rods, tuna fishing or troll (depends on the season).
You can combine all the advantages on being on a sailing yacht and having all the amenities (toilette, kitchen, your bed, an indoors table etc) stay on board and at the same time do lots of fishing from spot to spot where you can break and enjoy swimming, snorkeling or just relaxing under the sun away from the beach and the crowds
Ideal period and duration for these trips
End of August, September and October are the best months for fishing. However, we can organize such trips even during other months, following different fishing techniques eg. Using fishing robs while the boat is not in motion.
Route (indicative)
Day Fishing trips start either early in the morning or before and after sunset and their duration is almost 5 hours (depends on your preferences). Fish are creatures of habit, and tend to feed twice a day: at dawn and at dusk. So it follows that these are the best times to try to catch them.
We organize day trips of few hours to 2&3 day trips around Halkidiki area, but we also recommend the experience of a 4 to 6-day, off- season trip (September or October) to Sporades islands, searching for the “Wicked Tuna”…
Swimming is optional during these trips.
Join us because we are well-equipped with rods and lures and we know the area and all the fishing spots like the back of our hand since we have been fishing in these waters from a really young age.
