The catamaran peels away from the jetty and the Mediterranean stretches flat and blue, daring you to climb onto the rigging net and let the sun decide what stays and what peels away. On this full-day cruise from Ayia Napa/Protaras the boat threads the Famagusta coastline—shallow bays of sand, limestone shelves, and sea caves where light turns the water into glass.

The catamaran peels away from the jetty and the Mediterranean stretches flat and blue, daring you to climb onto the rigging net and let the sun decide what stays and what peels away. On this full-day cruise from Ayia Napa/Protaras the boat threads the Famagusta coastline—shallow bays of sand, limestone shelves, and sea caves where light turns the water into glass.
This coast carries layers of history: fishing hamlets turned trading posts, and nearby Famagusta with its medieval walls and Venetian imprint. Geologically, the shoreline is carved from Miocene limestone that drops quickly into deep blue; the shallow shelves scatter sunlight and create the turquoise bays swimmers prize. Local life is still visible in small fishing boats and the monastery that gave Ayia Napa its name.
Expect a day split between sailing, swimming, and lounging. The schedule usually includes multiple swim stops in warm, clear water, time on the nets for sunbathing, and lunch with drinks on board. The crew handles lines and safety briefings; passengers get space to relax, snorkel, and explore small cliff-side coves.
Practical guidance: bring reef shoes for rocky entries, reef-safe sunscreen, and a light wind layer for the return. If you’re prone to motion sickness, take precautions before boarding. Confirm pickup time—operators typically include hotel transfers for selected hotels. Finally, respect marine life: avoid stepping on seagrass meadows and keep plastics secured. The day is easy, social, and ideal for anyone wanting a warm, scenic sea escape without technical skills required.
