About the operator
Don’t take it from us – here’s what people have to say about this operator:
- Jon S0 contributionsSpeedboat with a guide and snorkelling for 23 hour speedboat tour of the whole coast, then stopped for snorkelling at the blue lagoon where we swam with some fishes. It was January, and weather was clear, sunny and about 19 degrees, but the water was actually warm enough to swim comfortably. Our tour guide (Mike I believe from memory) was a lovely guy, as was everybody at the company. Would absolutely use these guys again. Also, the fish restaraunt at the harbour when we got back was lovely, and the fish was absolutely delicious.Written 5 January 2025
- Colin S0 contributionsFantastic birthday charter.Chartered their 43 foot bavaria for the day for my wife’s birthday. We had an amazing day cruising up the coast stopping to swim and snorkel. David the skipper was brilliant, so knowledgable and friendly and made sure we had a great time. Latchi Waterports sorted everything for us, with birthday decorations in the cabin and even a great fish and meat meze that was delivered by speedboat to the yacht. Thank you for making my wife’s birthday really special.Written 4 November 2024
- Roving5190970 contributionsA great full or half day out on the water.We have used Latchi Watersports a number of times over the years. The boats are all in great condition and clear instruction is given. Pick a boat suitable for you numbers and performance required. You can bomb about towing skiers or inflatables, or gently pootle down the coast to picnicand swim. We had an overcast but warm day in October and swam in various bays.Written 25 October 2024
- Peteski20160 contributionsGreat time on the water..Excellent experience - my friend had rented before - great self drive boat tour out to the Blue Lagoon and a few other areas. Great instruction and the bot had everything we needed and we got help parking in the Blue Lagoon which was good as there was lots of boats. Will do again for sure. 3 - 4 hours was plenty. We had some swims, lunch etc. It was perfect.Written 23 October 2024
- AndiNorth0 contributionsAmazing self-drive boating and snorkelling experienceWe rented a private self drive boat for half a day and loved every moment of it! The whole experience was super smooth all the way from booking onsite in the shop, to the briefing about the area, how to safely operate the boat, and of course how to enjoy yourself! Highly recommended even for those with no or little previous boating experience.Written 19 October 2024
- Beep1230 contributionsExcellent couple of hrsWe hired a boat for 2 hrs. It was easy to book online I chatted to a lady who was helpful. It was booked and paid for online and quickly. We had a small briefing and then were taken to our boat. A lovely girl drove us out of the harbour and was collected by the support boat and then we were off…. Such a fun couple of hrs. We went to a little cove a few other people were there but we parked up and dropped anchor. We got into the sea. It was beautiful blue and clear we snorkelled around for a while saw some fish and had a lovely time. It’s quite hard to get back in the boat though. We didn’t know it would be quite so difficult lol. But we got in. And laid on the front eating crisps and drinking coke. Wishing we had booked for longer!! Absolutely bliss. That photo of the boat wasn’t ours but thought it was an amusing nameWritten 10 October 2024
- similac20200 contributionsWonderful Day OutFantastic Day out ! We had a wonderful day out on Princess Leah today celebrating my wife’s birthday. Our Captain took us to some beautiful secluded bays for swimming and exploring. The boat was ideal for our large family group and everyone had space to relax and have a great day. Thank you to Tom and his excellent team for making this a special day.Written 9 October 2024
- annekQ7951DW0 contributionsThe best Watersports company in Europe!Latchi Watersports is honestly fantastic, we had a 4 hour boat trip with a captain who looked after us so well, we visited several stunning coves, including the Blue Lagoon, we snorkelled, wake boarded and had the doughnut, it made our holiday. they are all so friendly and professional, my son is disabled and nothing was too much trouble to make the trip great for him too. We also took out jet skis which was great fun! This is our second trip to Latchi just for Latchi Watersports. The best in Europe for sure!!Written 7 October 2024
- Z7348BUanitam0 contributionsGreat fun fun fun!!We had a wonderful time! 😁 Brilliant snorkelling. Beautiful scenery and clear water. The boat was very easy to drive and exhilerating picking up speed.Written 6 October 2024
- lukecL1470IY0 contributionsAmazing experienceSo easy and simple to hire. Staff friendly and any questions answered. We had the best time. Definitely the easiest and most welcoming place to hire a boat fromWritten 3 October 2024
- MrsLisaBoyce0 contributionsExcellent boat hire experienceOutstanding service from Anna when my initial enquiry was made. She passed my details across and we got booked. We arrived and were briefed very thoroughly. We had been out with another company last year but your safety brief was far superior. We had a great day even though it was cloudy a lot. Thanks so much. We will be back 🫶🏽Written 3 October 2024
- _D2983YZ0 contributionsAmazing experienceEverything was so perfect, we had a great time thanks to the yacht crew - Holy and the Captain are incredible guys that did everything for our comfort. Great music, great service, the yacht itself, watching sunset at the end - will definitely return more and more.Written 27 September 2024
- claird5410 contributionsFantastic experienceA great 4 hours spent in the beautiful clear blue waters. All the staff were very friendly and helpful. They have a safety talk and demonstrated how to use the boat. Which is very simple, even for novices like us. Staff reassured us they were only a radio call away if we needed them for anything. They suggested the best places to go to avoid the crowds and bigger tourist boats. They provided life jackets, a map, snorkels, cooler box and ice. There are even shower facilities available at the end of your trip. Great service. We spent blissful 4 hours in the various beautiful bays along the coastline. The waters are clear blue and warm with fishes swimming around our feet. The only thing that I would warn of, is that when you have been swimming in the water, the climb back on to the boat via the ladder is not easy and requires a lot of body strength. Not easy at all and may prove very difficult for some people. I would highly recommend Latchi Watersports centre. Great customer service and fabulous experience.Written 25 September 2024
- ruud10 contributionsWow wow wow!What a day ! Was booked out when originally enquired but David got us a boat a little more expensive. From the moment we arrived we were greeted by friendly staff and check in process was easy. Then onto a safety briefing of maps etc and then onto the boat for checks and familiar yourself with it. Johnny looked after us so well and a lovely guy too . We were then on our own for the next four hours … Sheer bliss in calm seas . A wonderfully half day spent . On return you radio in and they come get you to sadly end our day. What a day ! Thank you .Written 20 September 2024
- Priya M0 contributionsAmazing first-time boating experienceI booked my first ever boating experience with Latchi Watersports. We had previously visited the blue lagoon and Arkamas on the excursions however this was truly on another level. We were a bit nervous given how fsr we would be away from the coastline (200m) due to shallow waters. However the team went through the safety and the regions to stay far away from thoroughly, we also were given an anchoring demonstration after being taken out of the harbor. We went as a couple and struggled with the anchoring however the safety boat was constantly patrolling and we could easily contact them on the radio and they were more than willing to help us at any given point. We were also extremely luck to see 2 turtles! A big thank you to the staff who were friendly, knowledgeable and wanted us to have a great time! Easily the best part of my holiday.Written 20 September 2024

My son and I signed up for the Open Water Scuba Course. From start to finish, Latchi Watersports knows how to put on an efficient and safe course. JD was our course instructor and he was fantastic, patient and safety-first oriented. He was also entertaining and a lot of fun. Joining him in helping us was Marcus, Andy, Harvey and Matt. They were great as well.
We felt very safe the entire time as they always had plenty of eyes on us to make sure we did everything correctly. The diving itself was a great experience and I highly recommend this team of experts.

After doing the discover scuba dive in october 2021 we had such a good experience that we took our friends to latchi dive centre to get our open water PADI. Again we had the best experience. The staff is amazing (you gotta love JD). They are really helpful, especially with me having a mild handicap, they really did something extra to give me the best dives possible. Thank you so much for everything! Will reccommend to anyone considering becoming a scuba diver.

Highly professional and great fun diving with Anna Warburton, Dave, Johnny A and all the team at LWS. Diving with professionals who love what they do adds to the pleasure of diving in Cyprus. I’ve completed many courses plus loads of great diving. Can’t wait to go back to do more. I can’t recommend this outfit high enough.

I completed my PADI open water diving course with Latchi Watersports this year, I had never dived before and this was my first step into becoming a scuba diver! It was great! The team are so friendly and professional, this course was only 2 and a half days long but it was by far the best 2 and a half days I’ve spent in latchi😊 diving down to 12 meters and exploring some of the Akamas coastline was so good! St. George’s island was our main dive site for the course and we came face to face with some lovely fish and tunas under the water. I would recommend this course for any beginner divers as it is so smoothly ran and they are with you every step of the way! Thank you Latchi Watersports for a lovely time😀 i will be seeing you in the very near future to enjoy some more diving and loads of the activities you offer👍 See you soon👌
