Operated by Latchi Sailing Charters · Neo Chorio, Paphos
On the northwest coast of Cyprus, near the tranquil village of Neo Chorio in Paphos, Latchi Sailing Charters offers a distinctive six-hour sailing journey across Chrysochous Bay. Aboard their 37-foot Bavaria yacht, adventurers cruise the coastal waters that frame the rugged Akamas Peninsula—a region distinguished by limestone cliffs, hidden coves, and crystal-clear Mediterranean waters.
This day sailing adventure goes beyond a simple boat ride. Weather here is a key player; whether caught in a gentle breeze or a stronger southerly wind, the changing sea draws a fresh mood across the landscape. The slopes of the Akamas Peninsula, shaped by millennia of tectonic shifts, rise sharply from the shore, cloaked in hardy scrub and endemic plants like the Cyprus cedar and wild thyme.
Guests are encouraged to dive in for snorkeling sessions in secluded bays where the underwater world flourishes with colorful fish and sponges. The waters of Chrysochous Bay are also a habitat for loggerhead turtles and playful dolphins, sightings that add rarity to the experience. The yacht’s intimate size means fewer passengers, fostering a personal connection with the sea and the coastal scenery.
Latchi Sailing Charters stands out in Cyprus’s outdoor scene by offering a combination of maritime skill and local knowledge, drawn from years operating from Latchi Harbour. This approach highlights the region’s ecological and cultural value, connecting sailors not just with the water, but with the island’s identity.
For those seeking an accessible marine adventure paired with a touch of wilderness, this sailing charter offers memorable encounters with nature and the distinctive geography of Cyprus’s western shore.

Latchi Sailing Charters is a sailing operator based in Polis Chrysochous, Πάφος, running departures from Latchi Harbour. The company operates trips aboard a 37-foot Bavaria yacht and advertises three main itineraries: a 6-hour Day Sailing, a 4-hour Day Sailing, and a 2.5-hour Latchi Sailing Charter: A Taste of the Akamas. Each trip centers on coastal exploration of the Akamas Peninsula and Chrysochous Bay, with scheduled time for swimming, snorkeling, and wildlife observation. Guests can expect opportunities to spot dolphins and turtles in natural settings during sailing and snorkeling stops. The 2.5-hour option specifically offers the choice to learn sailing with an expert crew member or to relax while the crew manages the yacht; that shorter trip is noted as an intimate experience with no crowds and includes refreshments. All advertised departures list Latchi Harbour as the departure point and provide fixed trip durations for planning. Activities focus on coastal scenery, marine life observation, swimming, and snorkeling rather than high-speed watersports. Crew manage navigation and guest needs during excursions and follow standard maritime procedures appropriate for coastal day sails. Latchi Sailing Charters presents clear, activity-focused offerings with concrete details on vessel type, durations, and departure location to help travelers plan visits to the Akamas Peninsula and Chrysochous Bay.
