This is truely nice. Rented a boat, we got a good briefing with ins and outs, do’s and dont’s. The organisation is professional and have very friendly staff. The security support is super friendly and pro-active. We had a great time, very good vibe and atmosphere! For the 75 HP boat we only paid 26 eur surcharge. Coolbox and goggles for free!

Best alternative to mass travel boats

Jonah_B, Oct 2025

Super nice team and a clear instructions at the beginning. Would recommend this to all who want to explore more of the coastline than doing a big boat trip to blue lagoon.

Response from Host, Apr 2026

Thank you so much for your review! We are so glad that you enjoyed your self-drive boat rental and that you saw more of the coastline rather than only the Blue Lagoon. Please do come back and visit us again in the future for more fun on the water! Kind regards, The Latchi Watersports Team

Stunning coastline, great boat and a great team- David & Christelle & others. Our fuel + ice + snorkelling gear bill came to total 32 euros which seemed very reasonable indeed. Beautiful boat ride, highlight of our Cyprus trip

Very enjoyable well organised boat hire.

LInda_C, Apr 2025

Fun, friendly informative efficient staff clearly show you how to navigate the coastline and operate the self boat, while being present themselves along the coast line. We had two lively children aged 2 & 5 years in our group and we felt their safety was taken seriously by this company. We often hire boat when on holiday, but this company are by far the most professional company we have used.

Fab 4 hours out exploring bays and sites. A1 experience

Great day out

Nathan_W, Sep 2024

Great value for money considering a jet ski is €60 for 20 mins. Easy to drive after a short but informative boat briefing. They take you out of the harbour so you don’t need to worry and then it’s all yours on the open water, up and down the cost anchored at blue lagoon and had a wonderful private experience on our own boat. Would definitely recommend to anyone looking at water activities.

Response from Host, Nov 2024

Thank you so much for your review Nathan! We are so glad that you enjoyed your trip and you had fun out on the ocean! We do hope to see you again for another trip. Kind regards, Latchi Watersports Centre

Great experience in Cyprus !

Jolita_S, Nov 2023

One of the best experiences during your stay in Cyprus! Highly recommended! The staff was very friendly, gave detailed instructions on how to act in any case. 4 hours of sailing is enough, but we would have liked to have spent more time like that, because it was really fun. Fun entertainment at an affordable price: 138 EUR for the boat rental and 26 EUR for the fuel used. It's really worth it!

Response from Host, Jan 2024

Hello Jolita, Thank you for taking time to write us a review. We are so pleased that when you hired on of our 50hp self-drive boats that this was one of the best experiences during your holiday in Cyprus. We hope to see you again the next time you are in Latchi for some more fun exploring the Akamas Peninsula coastline. Kind Regards Latchi Watersports Team

Excellent boat hire

Rachel_W, Sep 2023

A great 4 hours sailing along the Latchi coastline. Latchi waters ports were very professional and friendly and nothing was too much trouble. There was a safety boat within easy reach of us who would help if needed to anchor and find the best spots. Would a 100% recommend this experience and we will definitely be doing this again.
