Staff are excellent very friendly and helpful. We spent 4 hours on our boat and thoroughly enjoyed every single minute. Stopped in all the various bays along the coast including The Blue Lagoon. Swam in the sea and did some snorkelling. Don't worry if you've never driven a boat before it's so very easy and you'll be given tuition on how everything works. All in all a brilliant time was had and would definitely recommend Latchi Watersports. Steve and Ellie

Brilliant trip

Samantha_K, Jun 2026

Great way to spend the afternoon. So much to see and stunning scenery. The boats are easy to use ans staff were brilliant. Safety crew out on the water if needed and makes you feel safe and comfortable. Well worth the money and not expensive for the service you receuve. We loved our self drive boat hire. A must di experience.

Ok

Neil_P, Jun 2026

It was a great trip unfortunately it didn't have snorkels on the boat as advertised and the fuel bill appears to just be estimated as they didn't fill the boat back up before charging me. All in all worth doing though we had a great time

Incredible, easy & great value for money!!

Rebecca_J, May 2026

This was by far the best thing we done!! It was so simple. All the staff were super friendly! We were nervous as we had our 6 yr old who has Cerebral Palsy & Autisim and he can be rude, but the staff took it all in their stride & were lovely. We found it so reasonably priced for what you receive! We had the boat 8 hours, had snorkel equipment & a safety boat on hand at any opportunity if we needed help! We did need a little hand on a couple of occasions & a big shout out to GiGi, she was super friendly & an actual boss at driving a boat!! We had such an incredible day & memories made with our family that we will not forget. When we return to Cyprus, this will be the first thing we book!! :)

Excellent service

Dale_C, May 2026

From start to finish the service was excellent, our boat had a crack in the screen so they didn’t feel safe giving us it, they asked us to wait 10 mins to get a replacement which needed up being a free upgrade. Staff were all friendly and helpful

Evgeny_K, Aug 2025

Near perfect experience, bit overwhelming at first. Build-in GPS would make it perfect to find actual places.

Thank you very much for your review! We absolutely take every suggestion on board and we will look into possible GPS. We hope to welcome you back again in the future! Kind regards, The Latchi Watersports Team

Nice day out, shame about the boat

Steve_M, Aug 2025

The staff at Latchi boat hire were fantastic and ran through everything we needed to know about the boat and how to get around, They definitely put our minds at ease. The boat was definitely not a luxury boat ,it had the basic 60hp engine and the steering was heavy. Next time I will look at Latchis Web site first.

Response from Host, Apr 2026

Thank you very much for taking the time to write us a review! We are happy to hear that you found the staff friendly and the explanations were clear. We are sorry that you found the steering heavy, we will absolutely check on this! We aim to maintain our boats to the highest standard! Next time you would like to visit please do contact us and we will make sure that you have the perfect boat for you! Kind regards, The Latchi Watersports Team

Well organised

Theodosis_T, Jul 2025

Plenty of sunscreen Great experience Definitely do it again very well organised We probably try a bigger boat

Response from Host, Apr 2026

Thank you for your review, we are so glad that you had a great experience! Next time you would like to join us let us know and we can let you know the bigger boats we have! Kind regards, The Latchi Watersports Team

Perfect trip for couple new to hiring boats

enorridge, Sep 2024

The trip was amazing! Lots of beautiful bays to stop at, the water was clear and lots to see with a snorkel! The team were brilliant at explaining how to use the boat, good stops to make and handy tips for along the way. We haven’t hired a boat ourselves before and I would definitely do it again! Only thing I would change is to make the trip a longer one and hire it for the day. Thank you!

Response from Host, Nov 2024

We are so pleased to hear that you had a lovely trip aboard our Luxury Eden 18 and that everything was well explained! Thank you so much for spending the time to write your review and we hope to see you again in the future! Kind regards, Latchi Watersports Team

Best experience in Cyprus

Katya_W, Sep 2024

Amazing experience, would highly recommend! We rented a boat from 8:30, had a brief about the coast in the main office followed by explanation how to drive the boat and use the anchor. It was quick and efficient! The scipper navigated the boat out of the marina to save us effort and we were off! When we arrived to blue lagoon there was nobody there, it was perfect! We had the whole place to ourselves for an hour. On way back we stopped at 2 other lagoons to have a snack. Tip: Do take bread with you to feed the fish and rent mask and snorkel. Time flew by, 4 hours was just enough. We were picked up and navigated back into marina parking lot by a friendly staff. Was such a perfect time! 🤩

Response from Host, Nov 2024

Hello Katya, Thank you for your kind words, we will be sure to pass them onto the staff! We are so glad that you had an amazing time and we do hope to see you again in the future. Kind regards, Latchi Watersports Team

Amazing from start to finish

Lewis_G, Aug 2024

Response from Host, Dec 2024

Andrej_S, Aug 2024

Everything is very professionally organized. At the beginning, you get comprehensive instructions about the boat and the bays where you can sail. You don't need much experience to rent a boat from them. The nature is fantastic, the water is crystal clear, great for snorkeling.
