Description

Set sail from Latchi Harbour on a private charter along Cyprus’s Akamas coastline. Climb aboard the Bavaria C42 yacht, 'Breaking Wind,' and enjoy a hands-on sailing experience.

With your experienced captain supervising, and when conditions allow, discover the skills and teamwork behind sailing a yacht. Take the helm and feel how the yacht responds as you steer across the water. Learn about wind direction, how the mainsail and headsail work together, and why sailors adjust their sails as conditions change.

You may be able to assist with simple sail-handling tasks, learn basic sailing knots, and discover how the captain uses instruments, coastal landmarks, and the weather to navigate safely. A highlight is when the sails fill and the engine goes quiet. Glide across the Mediterranean with only the breeze and waves around you.

Participation is entirely optional. There is no pressure to take part, and all activities are subject to the captain’s instructions and safety assessment. You do not need sailing qualifications or previous experience.

Set off from picturesque Latchi Harbour and enjoy views of the unspoilt coastline as the yacht heads towards the Akamas Peninsula. Depending on the length of your charter, the wind, and sea conditions, your route may include St George’s Island, the striking Manolis Bay and Sea Caves, Fontana Amorosa, and the world-famous Blue Lagoon.

Combine hands-on sailing with swimming and snorkeling. When conditions permit, your captain may anchor in a sheltered bay so you can enjoy the clear water with snorkeling equipment provided.

Prefer to stay on board? Stretch out in the sunshine, unwind in the spacious cockpit, enjoy a refreshing drink, or simply watch the coastline drift past. Whether you are in the water or on deck, there is plenty of opportunity to make the day your own.
