☘️🌅Awsome experience 🌅☘️
From the start to finish these guys take care of you . Full induction and escort you in and out of the harbour . Safety boat on hand for any issues via hand held radio . They even helped anchor the boat for us . Do listen to all they say , also all the staff have a great sense of humour . Fuel charge at the end was €29 that was great value . Honestly never used a boat in me life but was very easy lol so don’t be off . Great experience, good value . Also free parking facing the centre so don’t pay local. Good array of shops and nice place to eat out and spend the day . We had 4 hours from 14.00hrs and was enough for us . Book it’s well worth it . 🙏☘️❤️

4 hour AM self drive
Highly recommend this self drive boat experience! Me and my partner said we will do this again when we’re next in Cyprus. So much freedom whilst out at sea, the boat is extremely easy to sail and the views all combine for a 10/10 experience.

Great experience
Great activity to try if you always wanted to sail but don't have a valid licence. Most EU countries do not allow people to sail this type of boats without a valid "boat licence", while Cyprus do. It's great fun, the team is very friendly and helpful, the boat is easy to ail and it is 10x more enjoyable than paying €25 to get on a crowded boat with 100s of other people just to go play in a little creek alongside other boats carrying the same amount of passangers.
Response from the operator: Thank you for your review, we are very pleased you enjoyed the experience and hope to see you again soon.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Absolutely Amazing Day – 10/10!
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Absolutely Amazing Day – 10/10! We had an absolutely amazing day with Latchi Watersports hiring a self-drive boat, and honestly, we couldn’t recommend them highly enough! From the moment we arrived, all of the staff were fantastic — friendly, helpful and really welcoming. The instructions before heading out were excellent and gave us complete confidence, especially as it was our first time hiring and driving a boat. We’re a family of five, and the boat was absolutely fantastic. It was great fun, comfortable for all of us and gave us the freedom to explore the coastline at our own pace. The different stops along the coast were incredible, with some amazing places to stop, swim and snorkel. The water was absolutely stunning! One thing that really stood out to us was the safety support. Even though you’re out enjoying the freedom of having your own boat, you’re never far away from help, with the Latchi safety boat constantly keeping an eye on everyone. It gave us a real sense of reassurance and allowed us to relax and enjoy the day. A special mention to Luke on the safety boat. When we reached the Blue Lagoon, it was extremely busy and we were a little unsure about anchoring, as it was our first time doing it. Luke came over to check everything was okay and personally talked us through exactly what to do, showing us how he would do it himself. That level of help and customer service was absolutely brilliant and really made a difference. The other thing that really impressed us was the value for money. For a family of five, we thought the boat hire was extremely reasonably priced and fantastic value for money considering the experience you get. It genuinely felt like we had a full day of adventure and fun without it costing the earth. The whole experience was 10/10 from start to finish. Fantastic staff, an amazing boat, beautiful coastline, brilliant safety support and excellent value for money. If you’re coming to Cyprus, self-drive boat hire with Latchi Watersports is an absolute must! We would 100% do it again and would recommend it to anyone looking for an unforgettable day out. 🚤🌊🤿 Thank you to everyone at Latchi Watersports for an incredible day!

Self-drive Amathunta Private Speedboat to Blue Lagoon, Caves etc: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Paphos.
How much does Self-drive Amathunta Private Speedboat to Blue Lagoon, Caves etc cost?
+
Prices start at $194 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Paphos usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Self-drive Amathunta Private Speedboat to Blue Lagoon, Caves etc take?
+
Plan for about 2 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Paphos is not rushed.
Is Self-drive Amathunta Private Speedboat to Blue Lagoon, Caves etc worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 74 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 174 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Paphos, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Self-drive Amathunta Private Speedboat to Blue Lagoon, Caves etc?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Self-drive Amathunta Private Speedboat to Blue Lagoon, Caves etc suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 2-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Self-drive Amathunta Private Speedboat to Blue Lagoon, Caves etc?
+
Around 61 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Paphos can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Paphos and add a light layer if any part of the 2-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

On Outty we rank every Paphos experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Blue Lagoon Cruise with Sightseeing from Latchi Harbour, Troodos Mountains Villages: All Inclusive Food & Wine Day Tour, Wave Dancer Half Day BBQ Cruise - All Inclusive. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Paphos?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Paphos?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
