      What's not to like?
      All good with this three hour trip along a good part of the coast. If I would add some constructive criticism that would be to have more commentary. But my wife says I'm a boring history buff. I disagree - I'm a boring factual buff. When a 'pirates cave' is pointed out, I want to know which pirates used it and for what (I seriously doubt it ever saw a pirate). I've been fascinated by the different types of rock along the coast but I still know nothing. There was a good history of Famagusta but (my bad) thought we could get closer. Oh jeez, sounding really boring now - hope the wife doesn't read this! Actually, she's the boring one as she didn't jump in at either of the two swim stops. Which were lush. You really need to take a face mask/snorkel to appreciate the turtles and clear waters. Just to recap - we paid €25 each, boat was lovely, staff lovely - nothing to complain about - just is what it is. Oh, and bloody wife never told me there were two (albeit) small glass observation windows downstairs by the toilets. Wish I hadn't pee'd in the sea now!

      Fabulous afternoon cruise!
      Everything from start to finish was amazing with this company! We were warmly greeted by Demi at the ticket booth in PROTORAS . We explained that my husband had recently had a hip replacement and that he was a little anxious about boarding the boat and being able to get a seat onboard the lower level. She was wonderful and assured us that everything would be sorted. So we booked three tickets! Upon arrival at Protoras pier we were welcomed by the delightful Antonia who said she had received a message from Demi explaining our concerns. Such a lovely girl who was polite, professional and a real credit to the company! She allowed us to board the boat first and made sure we were happy. The three hour cruise was wonderful, taking in lots of nearby beauty spots. The onboard staff were also excellent, running a bar and snacks service throughout the three hours of our trip. The two stops we made for anyone who wanted a swim were very entertaining for those of us who stayed onboard, seeing young folks jumping off the top of the boat was fabulous! All three of us have throughly enjoyed our afternoon with Aphrodite Cruises and would highly recommend that you use them! You won’t be disappointed, it’s been the best €25 each we’ve spent in a long time!

      Bad experience
      Don't book this company !!! We had a very terrible experience ... We paid through get your guide for our tickets .. We were three and one cancelled so we asked for a refund Just for for the person who is not coming, we were told that they will issue a refund 27$ for the person who cancelled .. after the boat trip we were shocked to recieve a very rude phone call from one of the company's employees that acussed us of theft ... that saying they refunded all the tickets and regardless of we went into the boat .. she was shouting and cursing non stop .. and threatned to call the police .. we had all the proofs that we paid for our tickets so we didnt care .. after telling her that we had all the proofs and we dont care ... she started saying that she is very sorry and she didn't mean it !!!!! They were only hungry for money and acussed us of theft without any proof ... its the last time we ever book with you although we come and book every summer !!!

      Very good value for money
      Was very VERY good value for money and would recommend. Staff were very friendly and the bar served lovely drinks and ice creams. Was really fun to swim in the lagoon with my boyfriend. Only thing I wish that the tourists we were with wouldn’t crowd the turtles in the water as they were freaking out a little bit.

      Don’t book this trip too many passengers on board !!
      Went on the boat trip today from Penerea harbour The boat arrived from Protaras already at full occupancy before we even set foot on the boat there was no seating available for other passengers Absolutely shocking to load more passengers on board it’s not the best boat trip we have ever been on standing room only for 3hrs I would not advise anyone else to take this trip I would say it’s all about profit and not customer satisfaction absolutely disgusting I’ve been coming to the area for the last 18 yrs and have never experienced anything like it

      A must do 4 hour cruise
      Well worth the price we paid on their website. Fantastic cruise with 2 swimming spots and one where you swim in the water with turtles. Beautiful clear waters and the boat wasnt overcrowded. The boat is well maintained and the staff are friendly

      TURTLES
      WE GOT TO SWIM WITH SEA TURTLESSSSS!!!! That of course was a very good aspect of the trip. The crew were also very informative about the ghost town of Famagusta and the Greco Caves.

      The Trip not to be missed!!!
      We have been out with Captain Andreas and his crew many times over 25 years. He along with his local knowledge and experience of navigating the boat so professionally make a trip so thoroughly enjoyable. The boat is immaculate and safe making everyone feel the benefit of a sea trip and stopping for swims with turtles. The atmosphere on board is very relaxing and everyone leaves with a smile. We will definitely return for another visit. Once again, Captain Andreas , YAMMAS.

      Great cruise and luck enough to swim with a turtle
      Highlight of our holiday and such good value. We went on a morning 2.5hr cruise for just 15EUR each. Had 2 swimming stops, free melon towards the end of the cruise. Glass bottom boat, jumping/didving platforms on boat. We were lucky enough to see a turtle (just the one !) at second swim stop and managed to swim very close to it, a great experience! Would definitely go on this cruise again, perhaps for one of the longer cruise options and would recommend to others.

      Aphrodite rules the waves!
      An amazing experience. We have been on this boat several times and it's always exhilarating. Captain Andreas and his wife Sara make you welcome and his skills at maneuvering the boat near the rocks are breathtaking. You get local knowledge of the area and its history, 2 stops for swimming, one with the turtles, great music, food and drinks available. The boat is spotless and a real credit to Captain Andrea's and his crew. We wouldn't hesitate to recommend.

    After doing some research on boat trips around Protaras and hoping to pick the best one to see some turtles we booked this trip and we weren't disappointed! We couldn't believe how many we saw and swimming with them around you in the sea was such a fantastic experience! The crew were all lovely and the selection of drinks/food you could purchase was great. Two 30 minute swim stops (one at the turtles bit and one at the blue lagoon) were the perfect length of time and for people who perhaps don't want to be away the whole day on a boat its ideal. We thought 25 euros each was very reasonable and would highly recommend booking this trip it was fantastic!

    Fantastic boat trip. Excellent value for money . Friendly and helpful staff and was very well organised. Nice balance of music on board with some commentary about the key locations. Snacks and drinks available on board , all reasonably priced. We didn’t see any turtles but the views and swimming in the blue lagoon was amazing. So glad we booked as feel our holiday rep was promoting more expensive trips and said the boat would be crowded and full of young people, which wasn’t the case. Lovely atmosphere on the boat and plenty of space. All in all, a great experience . Would highly recommend 😊

    We actually did this trip in 2018 but it wouldnt let me select that date but just goes to show how great this trip is if its still going strong 5 years later AND after covid ruined a lot of small operators/businesses. We came on our honeymoon and it was amazing!! Such a beautiful trip and at a great price for 3 hours out we even got a free soft drink and fresh watermelon which was a lovely touch. We are going back to Silver Sands,protarus nextvl week and we will definately be doing this boat trip again

    Had THE best time !
    Always reluctant to go on boat trips , as I choose to holiday alone and I’ve been on some, that believe you can’t enjoy a boat trip without blasting noisy music.
    The Aphrodite cruise was perfect, I booked the 10.45 one and it was not too busy , plenty of room and background music which was fab.
    The captain was informative and got sooo close to the caves etc so everyone could have a good look.
    The swimming stops were just beautiful and well managed , the team took great care to explain about the turtles and the need to not crowd them, which was good. We saw a beautiful Turtle right up close .. simply beautiful.
    An unforgettable experience, three hours flew by !

    Cpt Marco and The crew were great, not overly pushy with getting people involved in games etc and allowed you to just chill in the sun. They gave you upto date info of the tourist spots and the history behind them. Really reasonably priced compared to others trying to sell the same trip for double the price. Would highly recommend this tour operator

    We went on the day and the sunset cruise with Aphrodite and we loved both. We were privileged to see turtles during the daytime cruise and saw an amazing sunset on the evening cruise. The crew are just amazing - helpful, professional, fun, kind and fabulous sailors which makes you feel very safe. Would totally recommend - great value, do both if you can!

    Was a pleasant trip with both places in the sun and shade. A bit too many passengers but went well.
    The captain was good at steering the boat to nice photo spots and we both appreciated the swim stop.
    We managed to see some smaller turtles, however, they were difficult to capture in pictures.
    We had been given the impression that the boat offered snorkels to the guests, so a small minus.

    We went with our 3 teenagers. Lovely service and right amount of time. We saw 3 turtles and the captain ensured the boat was turned so everyone could see them. The blue lagoon was - well so blue! Great fun jumping in from either deck, or simply climb down the steps. Local history was mentioned along the trip.
    Great music (70”s&80”s) , clean and well worth the money.

    Great boat cruise with family. Very reasonably priced. Although we did not see any turtles we still had a fab time. Staff very helpful including the captain who very kindly let me use his snorkel. Take your own snorkel although they do have some you can use for a returnable 10 euro refund. Small bar where you can purchased food and drinks. Great day out. We went on the morning trip as not so busy. Definitely recommend.

    Once again and lovely to see captain Andreas, a very relaxing trip. Staff and captain Andreas can never do enough for you from helping you onto the boat and off to making sure you feel at ease, the skills of this man maneuvering his boat so near the cliffs is unbelievable such a skill. And the knowledge of the staff regarding different places is second to none...Well done. Its normally Victoria who does the info but unfortunately she couldn't be with us for reasons beyond her control lol 😆 as she had given birth that morning...congratulations to you Victoria on the birth of your baby 👶 boy. This is the 3rd trip with captain Andreas as I wouldn't go with anyone else. Would recommend this boat trip to anyone 100%.
