What to Expect During Your Water Adventure
When you arrive at the designated meeting point, look for the flags with the Blue Water Club sign. The guides will welcome your group, give safety instructions, and help you gear up.
The activity is performed on Agia Pelagia’s calm, blue waters, with the Powerful Protagon yacht doing most of the work. Once everyone is ready, the guides will attach your Crazy Sofa or Slider to the yacht, and you’ll feel the rush as you’re dragged at high speed across the surface. The splashing water and sea breeze combine for a sensory-rich experience that’s both exhilarating and a little silly—in the best way.
The activity ends back at the starting point, with plenty of laughs and maybe a few soaked clothes. Reviewers mention that guides are knowledgeable and attentive, making sure everyone stays safe while fully enjoying the ride.
The Equipment and Safety Considerations
The equipment used is high-quality, and guides provide safety instructions before starting. It’s important to bring your passport or ID card for registration, and note that alcohol and drugs are not allowed—safety first! Participants are advised to arrive 15 minutes early to allow time for fitting gear and instructions.
This experience isn’t suitable for pregnant women or those over 70 years old, so plan accordingly. The activity is private, so you’ll be with your group, making it ideal for friends or family traveling together.
