About this experience
Join locals Captain Chris and hostess Anna for a memorable family cruise along the beautiful Protaras coastline.
Set sail from Protaras Pier and enjoy stunning shoreline views as we navigate close to the water’s edge. The cruise includes two extended swimming stops, ideal for snorkeling among colorful fish and, with a bit of luck, sea turtles, or simply soaking up the sun. Snorkeling gear is available from our friendly crew, and we provide noodle floats and life jackets for everyone.
Onboard, savor a variety of drinks and snacks while you relax . The Sirena One offers luxurious seating on its spacious deck, accommodating just 30 guests for a personalized experience. Captain Chris and Anna ensure a warm atmosphere where lasting memories are made.
Important Update:
From today until May 18th, this cruise will be operated with our boat Aretousa. You’ll still enjoy the same stunning coastline, swimming stops, and friendly service — just aboard a different boat!
