Private Fishing in Agios Nikolaos: Fish Finder Technology

Modern fish finders replace guesswork with real-time data.

A private half-day fishing activity in Agios Nikolaos aboard a motorboat equipped with a Simrad Evo 3 fish finder and specialized rod fishing gear. Your guide George uses sonar readings to locate productive spots rather than fishing at random, which raises your chances of a catch. The boat carries snorkelling equipment and refreshments for the afternoon.

The experience

George runs the boat with a Simrad Evo 3 fish finder mounted on the console: the same sonar tool commercial operators use to read water depth, structure and fish location. Instead of anchoring at a guess, he positions the boat over the spots the fathometer shows are active. You fish from the deck with specialized rods matched to the technique, an electric anchor holding you steady, and bait containers within reach. The setup works whether you've fished before or are trying it for the first time.

The boat itself is the variable: you choose between a 5.3-meter motorboat for up to six people or a 6-meter boat for up to eight, both private to your group. Bottled water and soda come aboard. A shower is available when you return. Snorkelling gear sits ready if the fishing slows or if someone in your party wants to switch activities.

Top questions

What languages is the tour guided in?

Live guide in English and Greek.

What happens if it rains?

It may be canceled due to bad weather. If that happens, you're offered another date or a refund. Free cancellation up to 24 h before the start.

What fishing techniques can I use on this boat?

Specialized rods are set up for rod fishing techniques, and George provides the gear matched to each method. Bait containers keep your bait fresh throughout the afternoon.

How does the fish finder actually help us catch more?

The Simrad Evo 3 sonar reads the water below and shows where fish are holding. George uses those readings to position the boat over productive ground instead of fishing at random, which raises your odds of a catch.

Can I bring someone who's never fished before?

Yes. George guarantees an unforgettable experience whether you're a skillful fisherman or trying fishing for the first time. The equipment and his guidance work for all levels.

What happens if we want to snorkel instead of fish?

Snorkelling equipment is aboard, so you can switch activities if the fishing is slow or if someone in your group prefers the water.

Do I need to arrange transportation to the boat?

Public transportation options are available nearby. The boat departs from Agios Nikolaos.
