“Absolutely amazing cruise. Nice clean yacht, we got to go swimming twice during the cruise (snorkeling at the ferry wreck was so fascinating!). Also it’s the perfect opportunity for planespotting, watching planes land from the water and being right below them was absolutely special. Fantastic experience for a very low price.”

“Boat trips are usually the highlight of every holiday I've been on so I decided to treat my girlfriend to her first one... I either made the wrong choice in provider or cyprus just ain't the one for boat trips... Not enough swim stops for the heat/duration. it actually become uncomfortable waiting to go in the water. The sites we were meant to be seeing we were miles away from, dispite the pictures actually showing the shipwreck being close... We were basically just in the middle of the rough sea sailing for hours cooking on a swaying boat 😂. They should of had drinks handed out as we got on…”

3.Famagusta Chill and Relax Cruise from Ayia Napa Harbour

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 12 reviews · 4 hours (approx.) · from $42Top rated

Set out from Ayia Napa Harbour at 10:30 am for a four-hour cruise along Cyprus’s coast. Daniel’s funny commentary covers caves, the Blue Lagoon, and Famagusta Ghost Town, with two swimming stops, jump platforms, lunch, and full facilities on board. Transfers are available if selected.

“Chose this cruise because it sets off later than most, 10.30am, although I’d recommend getting there earlier (9.30-9.45) to get the best choice of seat. Great comedy routine on board, 2 swimming stops with 2 dive platforms at about 4-5 metres if you like to take the plunge. Simple yet satisfying lunch provided, chicken legs, roasted potato’s, tsatsiki and bread. Veggie options were available. Information given on all the stops, caves, blue lagoon etc and finally turned round within sight of the Famagusta ghost town. If we weren’t flying back tomorrow we’d probably book the same trip again. Recommended!!!!”
