What a fabulous day! It has become a holiday tradition of ours to private charter a boat. We had two teens with us; one who loves snorkelling and one whose first opportunity today offered. Both have said it’s been the best bit of the holiday. Three of us had our own snorkel and mask but they were available onboard for those who had not.

Our Captain Dave was a pleasant, knowledgeable and interesting guy. He offered some tutoring and my son did some first mate duties whilst my husband took the helm for a time. Under sail, working with the elements was great. It was fabulous weather for testing out the boat too sometimes the wind getting up to 22 knots.

We had two extensive opportunities to snorkel in warm, calm, quiet, blue waters. Our lunch of chicken kebabs, Greek salad, hummus, tzatziki and bread was delivered by speed boat and was delicious.

A superb 6-hour trip. A highly recommended treat.

My husband and I had our honeymoon in Cyprus this year and had a truly unforgettable yacht charter with latchi charters in August. We chose the Jeanneau yacht as there was just two of us and it was amazing to try sailing for the very first time.
