If you own a professional fishing vessel, you can declare the commencement of fishing tourism activity, if your vessel:

• has a total length of up to 15 metres
• has a professional authorisation to fish with gear other than bottom trawlers with nets (i.e. it is a trawling vessel) and boat-towed seine (i.e. it is a boat seine)
• meets the conditions applicable to professional tourist vessels in accordance with Article 3 par 1c of the relevant Joint Ministerial Decision
• has a certificate of seaworthiness (safety certificate, general inspection protocol, permit to operate, as the case may be)
• has special accommodation for passengers, so that they are all safe during the fishing activity and at the same time they do not obstruct it.

You will need to:

• enter your personal Taxisnet credentials
• enter your personal details (when using the service for the first time)
• fill in the application
• attach the required supporting documents (see them in the application form)
• select the way you will receive the decision

Upon submission, you will receive an email with the details of your application (reference number and application file) and the contact details of the competent regional directorate.

You will then be informed by e-mail about the outcome of the application and the document will be sent to you as you have chosen.

Currently, the service is available in the Regions of Attica and South Aegean. More regions will gradually be included in it.
