Mediterranean One is a small boat operator based in Polis Chrysochous, Cyprus, offering curated cruises along the Akamas Peninsula. The company operates a glass‑bottom boat and runs three signature 2.5‑hour cruises: Morning Cruise, Afternoon Cruise, and Evening Cruise. Each cruise combines guided commentary on local history, opportunities for snorkeling or swimming, and scenic passages past dramatic cliffs and secluded coves.
Passengers can expect complimentary wine and fresh fruit provided on every cruise, and expert guides who point out marine life and coastal features. Morning Cruise highlights sunrise views and frequent dolphin sightings; Afternoon Cruise focuses on snorkeling, hidden bays, and underwater viewing through the glass bottom; Evening Cruise showcases twilight colors and a relaxed swim in protected coves.
Mediterranean One departs from the Polis Chrysochous area, making it easy to reach from nearby resorts and towns on Cyprus’s northwest coast. Safety briefings and snorkeling equipment protocols are part of each departure to ensure a responsible marine experience. The company’s itineraries emphasize natural and historical interpretation of the Akamas Peninsula without altering protected habitats.
Booking options include single departures for individuals and small group charters based on scheduled departure times. Reservations are recommended during peak season to secure preferred cruise times.
