What to Expect

Our team will collect your from your hotel in Kyrenia, Nicosia or Famagusta.

At the harbour, board your traditional wooden boat moored alongside fishing boats and pleasure craft. Step onto the warm wooden deck and watch our captain gently ease this lovely boat out through the harbour entrance and into the sparkling sea beyond.

Your North Cyprus coastal cruise either takes you west in the direction of Escape Beach (most of the time) or east towards Acapulco Beach, depending on the weather conditions. Admire the scenery of the coast and its beaches, framed by the magnificent Five Finger Mountains behind.

Your captain knows all the best places to swim, so he’ll drop anchor at the very best! Enjoy a refreshing swim in the sea direct from the boat, or bring your own mask and snorkel to get the clearest views underwater. 

Time for lunch! Enjoy a freshly-cooked lunch onboard, with your choice of grilled fish or chicken served with a traditional meze selection and salad, all included in this great value North Cyprus excursion. Just pay for your drinks. 

After lunch, snooze or sunbathe to the gentle sound of lapping waves on the boat’s wooden hull. Or, take the plunge and sign up for some serious watersports fun! Choose from jet skis, banana boating, or the ultimate way to experience the North Cyprus coastline from above, paragliding. (All watersports are subject to weather and sea conditions, and are provided by our trusted third party providers.)

There’s often time for an extra dip before your captain weighs anchor and head back to Kyrenia harbor. Get your camera out for some great selfies on board and lots of photos of Kyrenia and its landmarks from out at sea.

After such a delightful North Cyprus activity, our team will take you back to your hotel in Nicosia, Famagusta or Kyrenia.
