Latchi: Private Sailing Charter on 37-Foot Bavaria Yacht

If you’re dreaming of cruising along Cyprus’s coast with the wind in your hair and panoramic sea views, a private sailing trip from Latchi could be just what you need. While I haven’t personally taken this exact tour, I’ve researched it thoroughly, and it sounds like a fantastic way to enjoy the outdoors, especially if you’re into sailing or simply want a luxurious day on the water.

What I really like about this experience is the personalized nature of a private charter—no crowds, just your own crew and your chosen company. And of course, the scenery of the Akamas Peninsula is stunning, with crystal-clear waters and dramatic coastline. One thing to consider is the weather dependency—if the wind is light, your sailing experience might be more about relaxing than racing across the waves. This tour suits those who appreciate a mix of adventure and relaxation with a touch of privacy.

Whether you’re a seasoned sailor or someone who just wants to sit back, take photos, and enjoy the views, this trip can be tailored to your preferences. It’s especially appealing for travelers who value comfort, scenic beauty, and a bit of an active day on the water.

The Experience in Detail

Starting Point and Logistics

Your adventure begins at Latchi Harbour, a charming and well-equipped spot on the Cyprus coast. The process is straightforward—arrive at the designated point, just past the security barrier at the west end of the harbour, and let the security staff know you’re there for the yacht charter. The boat itself is a 37-foot Bavaria yacht, which strikes a nice balance between manageable size and ample space for comfort.

If you’re coming without your own transport, you can arrange a taxi to bring you directly to the yacht, or if you’re walking, the team will come to meet you. Since the activity ends back at the same point, it’s easy to plan your day without worrying about transport logistics.

The Yacht and Crew

The Bavaria yacht is designed with comfort and performance in mind. It’s a modern vessel that’s well-suited for both relaxed cruising and more spirited sailing if the wind allows. The crew is dedicated to your safety and comfort, meaning you can sit back and enjoy the ride without fuss. They’re also multilingual—speaking English, Greek, and French—so communication shouldn’t be an issue.

What to Expect on the Water

Once underway, you’ll feel the sensation of sailing on a 37-foot vessel—a size that handles well, offering stability without feeling cramped. On calmer days, you might spend most of your time lounging on deck, soaking up the sun and taking in the spectacular views. If the breeze picks up, you’ll get to feel the excitement of the sails filling with wind and the yacht cutting through the water.

The crew is prepared for different weather conditions; if the wind is too light, they’ll anchor in scenic bays where you can swim, relax on deck, or snorkel with provided gear. When the wind is stronger, you’ll have the chance to experience the thrill of sailing more actively. This mix ensures the day feels dynamic without being stressful.

The Itinerary and Key Stops

The tour starts at Latchi Harbour, from where your skipper will steer toward the Akamas Peninsula, one of Cyprus’s most beautiful and protected areas. The main highlight here is the chance to sail through the Nature Reserve, marveling at the rugged coastline and pristine waters.

While the exact stops might vary depending on weather and sailing conditions, the general idea is to anchor in stunning bays. These spots are perfect for swimming in clear, inviting waters or just relaxing on the boat while soaking up the views.

Many guests mention that the panoramic vistas of the horizon meeting the sky are unforgettable. The combination of calm waters and striking scenery makes for incredible photo opportunities.

Snorkeling and Relaxing

Included in the package are snorkel equipment and buoyancy aids, which means you can easily dip into the water and explore beneath the surface. The clarity of the waters around the Akamas is often praised, making this a rewarding experience for snorkelers and swimmers alike.

Towels are provided, so you can dry off comfortably after a swim. On calm days, this part of the tour feels like an effortless way to enjoy nature’s beauty without leaving the boat.

Savoring the Moment

While the tour offers snacks and drinks—a nice touch that keeps you refreshed—there’s no mention of special meals included, so if you’re craving something more substantial, you might want to bring your own or plan to dine ashore afterward. Still, the drinks and light snacks are enough for most guests to stay energized and happy.

Weather and Weather-Dependent Sailing

Since sailing is weather-dependent, your experience can vary. If the wind is favorable, you’ll enjoy the full thrill of sailing—sails billowing, hull slicing through waves. If the conditions aren’t ideal, the crew will anchor and you can relax, swim, or just enjoy the scenery.

The good news is that if adverse weather prevents sailing altogether, you’ll receive a full refund or a chance to reschedule, so there’s little risk in booking.
