Socrates Fishing Charters

Sure ocean angling is the ultimate fishing adventure, but did you know that the Mediterranean Sea has a lot to offer, too? If you’d like to experience first-hand what it’s like to fish in the Mediterranean Sea, hop aboard Socrates Fishing Charters in Cyprus!

Socrates Fishing Charters runs trips from a couple of prominent cities on the island like Protaras, Paralimni, and Ayia Napa. Each place proved to be a prolific departure point for going after big game fish like Little Tunny, Tuna, Spanish Mackerel, Dolphin, Bonito, and Barracuda.

They specialize in bottom fishing, trolling, drift fishing, and jigging. Their boat can fit up to 10 anglers and is equipped with a toilet, fighting chair, and wireless trolling motor. Rods, reels, and tackle are included in the price, as well as the fishing license. You’ll find free snacks and drinks on the boat as well, but you’re always welcome to pack your own.

Bait, however, isn’t included, so make sure to check with the captain what your options are before the trip. Plus, be advised that the catch will be shared with the crew after the trip. The first mate will be there to assist you with the catch and tips are always appreciated for a job well done. For any further questions feel free to contact the captain.

Gear up and book your Cyprus adventure now! Oh, and kids are welcome, so bring the little ones, too!
