An In-Depth Look at the Private Sailing Experience

Sailing from Latchi Harbour, this tour offers a chance to drift smoothly into the waters that surround the Akamas Peninsula. The highlight is the 37-foot Bavaria yacht, a vessel designed for comfort and performance. It’s an ideal size for small groups—up to 12 people—so you won’t feel crowded, but still get that intimate feel of being on your own yacht.

The Itinerary and What You Can Expect

Your adventure starts at Latchi Harbour, a scenic spot with a lively waterfront. You’ll pass through a security barrier at the west end of the harbor, right before Porto Latchi restaurant, where you can meet your crew and board your yacht. If you’re driving, bring your car right up to the boat—parking is straightforward. If not, a taxi can bring you directly to the harbor, or they’ll arrange to pick you up if walking isn’t an option.

Once on board, the captain sets sail into the crystal-clear waters of the Akamas Peninsula. This part of Cyprus is famous for its unspoiled nature and diverse landscapes, which you’ll see from the deck. The yacht’s design encourages relaxing on deck, soaking in the panoramic views, or enjoying the thrill of the wind filling the sails if the weather cooperates.

The day’s flow is primarily dictated by the weather. On calm days, you’ll simply cruise along, enjoying the peacefulness of the sea. When the wind picks up, you’ll feel the rush of the sails catching air, and the yacht will respond with lively speed—a joy for sailing enthusiasts or those dreaming of a touch of adventure.

Stopping for Swimming and Relaxing

One of the tour’s key highlights is the opportunity to anchor in stunning bays. The waters are crystal-clear, perfect for swimming or snorkeling with provided gear. You’ll love the way the water feels—refreshing and inviting after a few hours at sea. The crew ensures safety with buoyancy aids, and towels are available for your comfort.

The Akamas Peninsula’s Unique Charm
