Your sea day starts with a champagne welcome. This adults-only catamaran cruise from Protaras stitches together swim time, a coastline cruise, and Famagusta Ghost Town views from the water, with hotel pickup and an easy day rhythm that runs about five hours.

What I like is that you’re not just sightseeing. You get an unlimited open bar feel alongside a buffet lunch (plus seasonal fruit, sweets, and a glass of champagne), so the whole day feels like a proper treat.

The only real catch: this cruise depends on sea and weather conditions. Routes can change for safety and comfort, and you should plan your day flexibly in case the schedule shifts.

Key highlights to look for

• Adults-only, age 18+ atmosphere that stays calmer than mixed-guest boats
• Hotel pickup (8:00–8:45am pickup window) plus an end return at the same meeting point
• Swim and snorkel stops with scheduled breaks to get in the water
• Open bar included, with lunch and drinks priced into the experience
• Famagusta Ghost Town views from the sea paired with coastal cruising
• Max 70 travelers, so it’s not built for a packed party vibe

Why an adults-only catamaran from Protaras feels different

If you’re after Cyprus by water, this format makes a big difference. An adults-only cruise means the vibe is usually more relaxed and more couples-friendly, without the energy swings you can get on family boats. The catamaran layout also helps: it’s spacious enough to spread out, eat comfortably, and still have a place to watch the coastline.

You’re also not stuck staring out from one angle the whole time. The day is built around movement: you cruise the coast, then you pause for swim time, then you cruise again. That mix is perfect if you want the scenery but also want to actually use the water.

And yes, the “small perks” matter here. Guests get a glass of champagne when they step onboard. It’s a nice start, and it sets the tone for the rest of the trip.

Price and what you actually get for $106.93

At $106.93 per person, this is priced like a day cruise where food and drinks are part of the deal. Here’s the value angle that matters for real life:

• Pickup and drop-off are included, so you’re not spending time or money figuring out transport.
• Buffet lunch plus seasonal fruit and sweets are included, not just a snack.
• Unlimited drinks (open bar) are included, along with alcoholic beverages and a glass of champagne at boarding.
• Swim stops are scheduled, which is usually where “cheap” cruises start to disappoint.
• Free WiFi is included, useful if you want to post photos or just stay connected.

So you’re paying for a full package: transport + meals + drinks + a route with swim breaks. If that’s what you’d otherwise piece together on your own, this tends to feel fair.

Getting picked up: timing, meeting point, and what to plan

The cruise starts at 9:00am, and pickup begins in the 8:00–8:45am window. Pickup details are sent by email no later than 1 day before the excursion, which is helpful because it means you won’t be guessing your exact pickup time.

Your start and end point is tied to East Coast Cruises, 2329+2C2, Famagusta, Cyprus, and the trip ends back at the meeting point. It’s not a “different port in, different port out” setup.

Two practical notes that can save you stress:

• Pickup is from designated meeting points or hotels. If you’re staying in a private place like a holiday villa, pickups may not be available.
• You’ll receive a mobile ticket, so make sure your phone battery is healthy on travel day.

What to pack is straightforward. Bring sun protection and a hat—you’ll be out on the water for hours, with long stretches where there’s not much shade.

Green Bay Beach and the ghost-town coast from the sea

Stop 1 centers on the Green Bay Beach area and then the route shifts toward Famagusta Ghost Town. Even if you’ve never seen this part of Cyprus before, the sea approach gives you a different kind of perspective. You get to watch the coastline unfold, then you get views of the ghost town from the water rather than trying to squeeze everything into one land visit.

This portion includes time for cruising and sightseeing, plus an admission ticket included for the planned stops. You’ll also spend time moving toward the Famagusta Ghost Town viewing and along the Fig Tree Bay stretch.

A quick reality check: if you want deep history lectures, this isn’t built like a museum tour. It’s more “see, learn a little, then enjoy the water.” That works best if you like history as context, not as a full-day classroom.

Swim and snorkel here

You’ll have scheduled water time during the day, and Stop 1 is part of that rhythm. It’s a good section to start your day’s swim momentum—just be sure you’re ready with swimwear and a mindset that you’ll be in and out with the schedule.

If sea conditions change, the crew may adjust routes for safety and comfort. That’s common on open water tours, and it’s better to expect it than to get annoyed if plans shift.

Blue Lagoon time: Konnos Bay or Cape Greko

Stop 2 is where the itinerary turns into pure sea-time: Blue Lagoon, with the location set as either Konnos Bay or Cape Greko, depending on conditions and the plan for that day. You get about 2 hours here, and the itinerary notes admission tickets included as part of the stop.

This is the part of the day you’re booking for. The Blue Lagoon stop is the break where you can relax, swim, and snorkel, and where the views tend to be the reason you’re taking a boat cruise instead of just staying on shore.

What you should expect during the stop

You’ll be on a relaxed clock: get in when you want, come out for drinks or photos, then repeat. Because this cruise is adults-only and capped at 70 travelers, it doesn’t feel like a school trip scramble when you reach the water.

If you’re the type who likes to photograph from the boat, this leg also tends to deliver. You’ll see the coastline and shoreline angles that don’t look the same from land.

The food-and-drinks setup: lunch, champagne, and open bar flow

This is one of the highest-praise parts of the experience, and it makes sense. You’re not just offered lunch—you’re given a full buffet lunch with seasonal fresh fruits and sweets. Add a glass of champagne at boarding, then layer in an open bar with unlimited drinks, and suddenly the day feels like a true “we’re on holiday” package.

A detail worth knowing: service is table-based, and the crew is attentive. In particular, names like Katarina and Captain Mohammed show up in guest feedback, which lines up with the kind of hands-on, check-in style you want on a moving boat.

Alcohol and non-alcohol options

The open bar covers alcoholic beverages, and you can also find non-alcohol cocktails. That matters if you want the social feel of the bar without needing alcohol the whole time.

Free WiFi

You also get free WiFi, which is rare enough on day cruises that it’s worth mentioning. It’s useful for sending photos, checking maps, or just keeping up with your day.

How crowded will it feel on board?

This cruise caps at 70 travelers. That number alone is a clue: this is not designed for “we’ll sell every seat we can” chaos.

In practice, people describe the boat as clean, spacious, and not overcrowded. Even when the group is larger than a tiny private charter, the catamaran layout helps you find space to eat, sit, and enjoy the view.

If you’re traveling as a couple, you’ll likely appreciate the calmer atmosphere. It’s one of those days where you can talk, relax, and feel like the boat is working for you—not against you.

Who this cruise suits best

I’d point you toward this cruise if:

• You want a relaxed adults-only water day out of Protaras
• You like a mix of sightseeing + swim time rather than one long viewing session
• You’d rather pay once than piece together lunch, transport, and drinks separately
• You want to see parts of Cyprus from the sea, including coastline cruising and Ghost Town views

It may be less ideal if:

• You hate schedule-based plans and prefer total control
• You’re counting on a specific route every time, since the operator may adjust the route due to sea or environmental conditions
• You need pickup from a private holiday villa, since pickups are limited to designated meeting points or hotels

Should you book the Catamaran Adults Exclusive Cruise from Protaras?

If you want a classic Cyprus day at sea—with swim breaks, open bar, and an itinerary that actually uses the water—you should seriously consider booking this one. The price is easier to swallow when you see what’s included: lunch, drinks, champagne, pickup, WiFi, and scheduled swimming.

Book it especially if you’re coming to Protaras for the coast and you want a smoother, more comfortable alternative to doing multiple spots on your own. The only thing to keep in mind is weather and sea conditions. If you can stay flexible and you pack for sun, this cruise is the kind of day that feels like a highlight rather than just another excursion.
