Alex's Honest Take

I've been on every boat that departs from Ayia Napa Harbour. Here's the honest breakdown: Blue Star is the best overall operator for 2026 — new ship, high standards, great food. Ocean Queen is the best for families who want a proper full-day cruise. Fantasy Boat Party is the best if you want energy, music and a young crowd. The Shirley Valentine in Protaras is the best private option. If you tell me your group and what you're after, I'll tell you exactly which boat to book — and I can sort the booking for you directly.

💬 Ask Alex for advice

A boat trip from Ayia Napa is one of those things you absolutely cannot skip. The coastline between Ayia Napa and Protaras is genuinely one of the most beautiful stretches of water in the entire Mediterranean — sea caves, crystal clear turquoise bays, sea turtles and the famous Blue Lagoon. No photo does it justice.

Every Type of Boat Trip in Ayia Napa

🐠

Glass Bottom Boat

From €10 per person · 2–3 hours

👨‍👩‍👧 Families 🕐 Short trip 💰 Budget

The most affordable option and great for families with young kids. You cruise along the coastline in a boat with a glass panel in the hull so you can see the sea life underneath without getting wet. Routes cover the sea caves and Cape Greco coastline.

🌊

Sea Caves & Blue Lagoon Day Trip

€25–€40 per person · 4–5 hours · Lunch usually included

🏊 2-3 swim stops 🍖 Lunch included 👪 All ages

The trip I recommend to most tourists. A shared boat departs from Ayia Napa Harbour past Cape Greco, through the sea caves, and out to the Blue Lagoon off Protaras. Usually 2–3 swim stops, BBQ or buffet lunch, bar on board and snorkelling equipment. The water at the Blue Lagoon is an incredible shade of turquoise.

🎉

Party Boat

€60 per person · 4–6 hours · DJ & open bar

🎵 DJ on board 🍺 Open bar 18+ recommended

Ayia Napa is famous for its nightlife and the party boats match the energy perfectly. Music, dancing, a DJ, open bar options and a crowd there to have a good time. The Blue Star Castle Club Boat Party is the best option in 2026 — Castle Club DJs and MCs, pizza before boarding, games and prizes. The Fantasy Boat Party is another great option with 4 hours at sea and swim stops at the Blue Lagoon.
