Your Own Boat to the Blue Lagoon — No Boat Licence, Just Your Car Licence

No. A full car driving licence is all you need, from any country, and the driver must be 18 or over. A learner licence isn’t accepted. Before you set off you get a 30-minute briefing on the boat and a map of the coast.

The price is for the whole boat, not per person. A standard 6-seater is from €80 for one hour, €120 for two, €170 for four and €255 for the full day. The 9-seater is €145, €220, €305 and €460. Luxury boats with a shower for 6 to 8 are from €120, €175, €260 and €380. The luxury 9–10 seaters with a toilet and shower are from €190, €290, €415 and €590. Fuel is the only extra.

You reserve with 20% of the boat price, paid online. That’s the whole amount you pay us. The rest of the boat price and the fuel are paid at the harbour office on the day.

Fuel is the only extra on top of the boat price. You pay for what you used when you bring the boat back — usually €25 to €75 for a day out. Nothing else is added.

Yes. It’s €350 on the smaller boats and €850 on the bigger ones, and we tell you which applies to your boat when we confirm it. It’s held on a physical credit or debit card, or left in cash, and released when you bring the boat back undamaged. A card on your phone isn’t enough — bring the physical card.

If the sea isn’t safe to go out, you can move your booking to another day. If you’d rather not, your deposit is refunded in full.

About 30 minutes from Latchi Harbour along the Akamas coast. Most groups take the boat for four hours so there’s time to anchor, swim and snorkel at two or three bays on the way.

We check with the harbour before you pay anything. If an online booking has taken the boat overnight, you get the closest alternative — often a bigger boat — at the same deposit.

Yes, on any boat, for €25 an hour. Worth it if nobody in the group wants to drive, or if you’d rather relax with young children on board.

The Eden 19 and every boat above it has a tow point for a tube. Tell us when you book and we’ll confirm what’s available for your boat and the price.

There’s a free car park across the road from the harbour office. There’s no pickup: Latchi Harbour is about 40 minutes by car from Paphos, and you drive there yourself or take a taxi.

Yes. Self-drive boats take up to 10. For 11 or more, message us and we’ll book a captained yacht for up to 20 people.

Tell us how many of you there are and how long you want to go out for, and we’ll offer the most comfortable boat that fits. Up to 6 people fits a standard or luxury 6-seater; 7 or 8 fits a luxury boat with a shower; 9 or 10 needs one of the big boats with a toilet on board.

Half-day slots run 09:00 to 13:00 and 14:30 to 18:30; the full day is 08:30 to 17:00. Shorter hires fit inside those slots. Arrive 30 minutes before your start time for the paperwork and the briefing.

Yes. Every boat carries a VHF radio, life jackets for everyone, flares and a first-aid kit, and a safety boat patrols the Akamas coast all day. You’re shown how everything works before you leave, and if you need a hand with the anchor or anything else you call on the radio and they come to you.

Every day until early to mid November, then again from mid April. In the winter months the boats go out with a captain only.
