Very nice day tour on the sea. - We rented a boat (Eden 18) for self-driving for a whole day. Rental went with a car license (I also have a boat license though). Everything was well explained. Even as an inexperienced boater you can start such a tour. You can drive along the coast about 15 kilometers. With the different bays you can easily spend a whole day with it.

A must do experience - So friendly and professional, we've never hired or driven a boat before but they took the time to help us feel confident and even came to check on us without being in anyway intrusive. Truly a fantastic experience, everyone who visits cyprus should do!

So Much Fun - 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

Absolutely amazing experience at Latchi Watersports. The best out there! - We booked the Luxury Eden 18 for 4 hours, which was more than enough time to explore the coast. Everything was super easy and well organized. The built-in speaker didn’t work at first, but it really wasn’t a big deal. After about 2 hours on the water, one of the crew came out with another boat and offered to swap ours for a different one. The rescue team had already fixed the speaker by then, but they still insisted we take the bigger, more luxurious boat and they even restarted our 4-hour rental time from that moment! In the end we spent the whole day on the water, on a much larger boat, all because of a tiny issue that they handled amazingly. The staff were so friendly and helpful — really top-notch service. There are lots of great spots along the way to stop for a swim or snorkel, like the Blue Lagoon. Everything’s clearly marked, and there’s always a rescue boat around if you need help. You stay in touch via radio, so it all feels super safe and easy. We had such a fun and relaxing day. Latchi Watersports is definitely the place to go if you want to rent a boat in Cyprus!

Beautiful - Wonderful coves. Nice staff. Even for inexperienced optimal, because you are escorted out of the port and can then drive yourself. Would book it again and again.

An Absolute Must-Do - I had an incredible time renting a boat from Latchi Watersports. I rented an Eden 18 on my own for four hours (which I extended to six hassle-free as I was having such a good time!). I showed up just before my booking time and was immediately sat down for a thorough briefing of the area, where is safe to take the boat and where to avoid. Photos and maps were provided to allow me to get my bearings and see where was safe to go. After a brief wait I was given a practical demo of raising and lowering the engine, starting the boat, manoeuvring and anchoring it, and a brief on how to work the VHF, along with a radio check. This all made me feel really reassured and safe - I have some dinghy sailing experience but nothing with engines - staff were very accommodating of this and assured me no experience was necessary. I was driven out of the harbour to a safe distance, and was checked on three different occasions by two different safety boats. I was also offered help to anchor the first time, although I was okay and had purposefully anchored a little further away for some peace from another boat that was playing loud music! The time flew in - there is a lot to see and I went snorkelling in each of the bays. In my opinion the blue lagoon is a little overrated, probably because it is very busy with the large tourist boats. The other marked bays are far nicer and quieter. I particularly liked Manolis Bay which has caves. When it was time to go back I just returned to the harbour entrance and radioed for pickup. I was then driven back to the dock and settled up my bill for fuel and the extra time. While it’s not necessarily cheap to do this on your own, the pricing is not unreasonable in my opinion, and will be cheaper when the bill is split. The only suggestion I would have would be to upgrade the buoyancy aids which are starting to look a little dated. Thanks very much to all the staff I dealt with who were very friendly, professional, and made me feel super safe and confident on the water. And also thank you to the woman who had a great deal of patience while I dealt with some card issues at the till! I will be back next year… perhaps to scuba dive?
