Luxury Yacht Cruise in Protaras with BBQ, Drink & Giant slide

Description

I Boarded for the Slide… I Stayed for the BBQ

I’ll be honest: I first booked the Family Dream – Luxury Yacht because of the massive inflatable slide from the top deck. Yes, I’m an adult. No, I have no regrets.

But what I got was much more than a splashy entrance into the Mediterranean.

I got a 3.5-hour cruise along the stunning coastline of Protaras, crystal-clear swim stops, live commentary about the region (including a glimpse toward Famagusta and Varosha from a distance), and a freshly prepared Cypriot BBQ that tasted like someone’s grandmother was secretly cooking in the galley.

If you’re visiting Protaras and want something fun, relaxed, delicious, and genuinely memorable — this is it.

Why This Cruise Is a Must in Protaras

Protaras is all about turquoise water, dramatic cliffs, and sunshine that practically demands you jump in the sea.

This cruise wraps all of that into one easy, comfortable, luxury-yacht experience.

You’ll:

• Swim in the Blue Lagoon

• Cruise past the iconic sea caves of Cape Greco

• See Lovers Bridge from the water

• Sail toward the border of the occupied zone (viewed from a distance)

• Relax on a spacious luxury yacht with WiFi and a restroom on board

And if the wind and sea conditions cooperate? You’ll fly down the giant inflatable slide like a kid on summer holiday.

Blue Lagoon & Swim Stops (Yes, It’s That Blue)

We sail straight into the famous Blue Lagoon area near Cape Greco National Park.

The water here is almost unreal — clear, bright, and perfect for swimming.

There’s plenty of time to:

• Jump in

• Float with life jackets

• Swim to the nearby rocks

• Snorkel (equipment available to rent with a refundable deposit)

And if we’re lucky? Sea turtles sometimes glide by. Just remember — nature doesn’t sign contracts.

Turtle sightings are never guaranteed… but hope floats.

Sea Caves, Pirate Legends & Lovers Bridge

Cruising along Cape Greco is like watching a postcard come to life.

You’ll see:

• Shark Mouth Cave

• Pirates once used the natural sea caves

• The famous Lovers Bridge

• The Church of Agioi Anargyroi perched dramatically above the sea

The captain takes the yacht impressively close to the rocks — close enough that you’ll feel part of the coastline itself (don’t worry, they know what they’re doing).

A View Toward Famagusta & Varosha

One of the most unique parts of this cruise is sailing toward the viewing point near the border of the occupied area.

From the sea, you’ll see Famagusta and the ghost town of Varosha from a respectful distance.

The live English commentary adds fascinating context to what you’re seeing — it’s not just beautiful, it’s meaningful.

The BBQ That Deserves Its Own Cruise

Let’s talk about the food—because this is not a “sad sandwich at sea” situation.

Everything is freshly prepared on board using local ingredients. You’ll enjoy:

• BBQ chicken (halal)

• Homemade Cypriot chipped potatoes (dangerously good)

• Pourgouri (Cypriot couscous)

• Fresh salad

Vegetarian options and kids’ chicken nuggets are available upon request at boarding.

Plus, you get one complimentary drink — wine, beer, soda, or fruit juice. Simple. Perfect. Summer in a cup.

The Giant Slide (If the Sea Says Yes)

The inflatable slide from the top deck is the star of the show — especially for families and anyone who refuses to grow up.

Important note:

The slide depends on wind and sea conditions. Safety comes first, so it’s not guaranteed on every departure. But when it’s on? It’s pure Mediterranean joy.

Comfort, Facilities & Easygoing Vibes

The St Georgios II luxury yacht offers:

• Restroom on board

• WiFi

• Life jackets as flotation aids

• Friendly crew and live English commentary

It’s stroller accessible, pets are allowed, and public transport is nearby.

However, it’s not wheelchair accessible, and there are steps from the pier to board and from the washroom down to the water.

Alcohol is served only to guests aged 18+. Please don’t bring drinks on board.

What to Bring

Bring the essentials:

• Swimwear

• Towel

• Sunscreen

• Mask & snorkel (or rent onboard)

• Cash or credit card (snorkel equipment requires a refundable cash deposit)

And maybe your inner child — especially for that slide.
