If you’re dreaming of soaking up the sunshine on a sleek boat, cruising along some of Cyprus’s most spectacular coastlines, this 2-hour luxury private charter on a Karnic SL800 could be just the escape you need. From everything we’ve seen, it’s a pretty tempting way to enjoy a slice of the Mediterranean without the crowds, and with the comforts of a private yacht.
What really catches the eye about this experience is how it combines comfort with adventure—you get to lounge in style, but also dive into the Blue Lagoon’s inviting waters or snorkel among vibrant marine life. Plus, the boat itself looks comfortable, spacious, and well-equipped, promising a smooth ride.
That said, a couple of things are worth keeping in mind. Since it’s a private tour designed for up to 11 people, it’s pricier than some group options, and it’s only around 2 hours long—so if you’re after a longer day on the water, you might need to look elsewhere. Still, this experience is perfect for travelers craving a personalized, relaxing, and scenic outing—especially those who enjoy a good mix of lounging and exploring.
If you’re after a memorable way to see Cyprus’s coast, especially the Akamas Peninsula and Blue Lagoon, and you appreciate a touch of luxury, this private yacht trip could be a highlight of your trip. It’s particularly suited to those who value comfort, privacy, and intimate access to nature’s beauty.
