Brilliant hire centre - This place should be number one in your list for a day at Latchi. Price was best by at least 30 euros with all the competitors let alone the quality of the boat and the induction which was first class and well worth paying attention to. We all enjoyed it (1 hr hire) and would definitely go back again!

Excellent, would highly recommend - Fabulous experience, especially as we had to change the date due to poor weather, which the team were very flexible about. It was so easy to take the boat out, the team at Latchi watersports gave us a briefing (I can't remember the man's name, but he was super helpful and made us feel at ease on an unfamiliar coastline) and took card details for a £350 deposit. A lovely lady then took us on to the boat and went through all of the handling instructions, and let us take photos of the propeller to compare at the end of the trip for any damage. Another man kindly took us out of the harbour in to open water, and jumped out on to another boat to let us get on our way. The coastline was beautiful and we were the only people at the blue lagoon when we arrived! The safety boat stopped by multiple times to check on us in various bays, and was very reassuring to know that it was nearby if we needed help. Fuel cost €26, which was very reasonable. Would highly recommend to anyone even with no prior boating experience.

Latchi Watersports Boat Hire is a must! - An absolute must whether living in or visiting Cyprus. Cruising the Akamas in your own self-drive is a brilliant day out. There are several boat hire shops, I've hired from another myself, but much prefer Latchi Watersports. They’re a very professional bunch and a great team. You will receive a full brief and training prior to leaving in your boat. The safety will also come to your rescue, should you need help, when you’re out on the sea. They have tons of boats of varying sizes and they're very easy to operate, so don’t worry if you’re bot sure whether you’re brave enough to take a boat out yourself. The staff will get you out of the port and bring you back in again, so all you have to do is cruise out at sea. Dropping anchor in the Blue Lagoon is a must. It’s a beautiful place to visit and great for a boat picnic and snorkel. Hire a boat, you absolutely won’t regret it! 🛥️

Fantastic experience - A great 4 hours spent in the beautiful clear blue waters. All the staff were very friendly and helpful. They have a safety talk and demonstrated how to use the boat. Which is very simple, even for novices like us. Staff reassured us they were only a radio call away if we needed them for anything. They suggested the best places to go to avoid the crowds and bigger tourist boats. They provided life jackets, a map, snorkels, cooler box and ice. There are even shower facilities available at the end of your trip. Great service. We spent blissful 4 hours in the various beautiful bays along the coastline. The waters are clear blue and warm with fishes swimming around our feet. The only thing that I would warn of, is that when you have been swimming in the water, the climb back on to the boat via the ladder is not easy and requires a lot of body strength. Not easy at all and may prove very difficult for some people. I would highly recommend Latchi Watersports centre. Great customer service and fabulous experience.

Wow wow wow! - What a day ! Was booked out when originally enquired but David got us a boat a little more expensive. From the moment we arrived we were greeted by friendly staff and check in process was easy. Then onto a safety briefing of maps etc and then onto the boat for checks and familiar yourself with it. Johnny looked after us so well and a lovely guy too . We were then on our own for the next four hours … Sheer bliss in calm seas . A wonderfully half day spent . On return you radio in and they come get you to sadly end our day. What a day ! Thank you .

Amazing first-time boating experience - I booked my first ever boating experience with Latchi Watersports. We had previously visited the blue lagoon and Arkamas on the excursions however this was truly on another level. We were a bit nervous given how fsr we would be away from the coastline (200m) due to shallow waters. However the team went through the safety and the regions to stay far away from thoroughly, we also were given an anchoring demonstration after being taken out of the harbor. We went as a couple and struggled with the anchoring however the safety boat was constantly patrolling and we could easily contact them on the radio and they were more than willing to help us at any given point. We were also extremely luck to see 2 turtles! A big thank you to the staff who were friendly, knowledgeable and wanted us to have a great time! Easily the best part of my holiday.

Great day out - 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.
