The boat slips out of Latchi harbour and the coast peels away: limestone cliffs sharpen into headlands, scrubbed slopes of the Akamas push the breeze into the salon, and the Mediterranean opens like a cool invitation.

The boat slips out of Latchi harbour and the coast peels away: limestone cliffs sharpen into headlands, scrubbed slopes of the Akamas push the breeze into the salon, and the Mediterranean opens like a cool invitation.
Guests glide along turquoise water toward the Blue Lagoon, where a shallow reef holds the color and the boat drops anchor for swimming, sun, and a charcoal BBQ. Below deck a professional sommelier stages intimate tasting sessions of boutique Cypriot wines — reds, whites and rosés that rarely reach supermarket shelves — offering notes on terroir shaped by limestone soils and maritime breezes.
Akamas is both geologic and cultural: rugged Miocene limestone and Pleistocene terraces meet the island’s long human history of fishing villages and mythic place names. The peninsula is part of a protected coastal landscape, so the cruise balances leisure with local conservation practices — avoid anchoring on seagrass and respect marked turtle areas.
Practicalities are straightforward: the shared trip runs about 4.5 hours, with a BBQ lunch served aboard and guided tastings in an enclosed lower salon for quieter instruction. Expect moderate mobility requirements for boarding and short swims off the tender ladder.
Bring reef-safe sunscreen, a hat and a swim towel, time your day to avoid the peak heat, and alert crew to dietary needs ahead of time. For first-time visitors this cruise is an easy, social way to combine coastal exploration with a compact introduction to Cypriot wine and the wild west coast of Paphos.
