Latchi: Akamas Peninsula Self-Drive Boat Rental｜Cyprus

Experience the freedom of the Mediterranean with a self-drive adventure aboard the Karnic SL702, available to hire from Latchi Watersports Centre. Combining comfort, style, and excellent performance, this spacious 8-meter boat is an ideal choice for families and groups wishing to discover the spectacular coastline of the Akamas Peninsula at their own pace.

The Karnic SL702 can accommodate up to nine passengers and offers plenty of space for relaxing throughout the day. Its raised bow sunbathing area is perfect for stretching out beneath the Cyprus sunshine, while the comfortable seating and shaded sections provide somewhere to unwind between swimming stops. The boat also includes a private cabin, toilet, freshwater shower, and Bluetooth sound system, giving you everything you need for a comfortable and memorable day on the water.

Before departure, the experienced team at Latchi Watersports Centre will provide a comprehensive safety briefing, explain how to operate the boat, and guide you through the permitted cruising area. No powerboat license is required—only a valid car driving license and a physical credit or debit card for the insurance excess. Once your briefing is complete, you can leave Latchi Harbour and begin exploring one of the most beautiful and unspoiled coastlines in Cyprus.

Cruise alongside the dramatic landscape of the Akamas Peninsula, an area celebrated for its crystal-clear waters, rugged cliffs, hidden coves, and rich natural and cultural history. Accessible mainly by boat or adventurous coastal trails, this protected region offers a wonderful sense of peace and discovery away from the island’s busier resorts.

One of the highlights of your journey is the world-famous Blue Lagoon, known for its dazzling turquoise water and exceptional visibility. Drop anchor, swim in the calm Mediterranean Sea, use your snorkeling equipment to explore beneath the surface, or simply relax on board while enjoying the breathtaking surroundings. The clear, shallow water makes the Blue Lagoon a particularly enjoyable swimming stop for families.

Continue along the coastline towards Manolis Bay, often referred to as Manolis Caves, where striking rock formations and sea caves create a dramatic coastal setting. The bay’s clear water and sheltered atmosphere make it another beautiful place to stop for swimming and snorkeling. Surrounded by naturally carved cliffs and fascinating geological formations, it offers a glimpse into the ancient landscape that has been shaped by the sea over countless years.



Hiring the Karnic SL702 is more than just a boat trip—it is an opportunity to become the captain of your own Mediterranean adventure. With the reassurance of Latchi Watersports Centre’s detailed briefing, VHF communication, and safety boat support along the coastline, you can explore with confidence while enjoying the independence of a private self-drive experience.
