Tripadvisor Testimonials
Best Boat Trip in Cyprus

What an experience.....such a friendly family run business !!! This is the third time we have been on the Yellow Boat Cruise, and we have also been on the Serena Fast Boat Trip which is something not to be missed!!! Andreas the Captain along with Anna, Chris, and Lauren cannot be any more helpful, from when you book the trip until you get off the boat, such a relaxed trip around the bays of Protaras!!! If you visit the Protaras or Pernera area of Cyprus these boat trips are a must!!!!
A Must

My wife and I spent a week in Protaras with family. In July and August the beaches are packed. We found a hidden gem in the yellow boat. absolutely fabulous!!!! Andreas and his daughter who both captain the ship provide a day of laughter information and incredible swimming. We liked so much we did two days in a row. The meal they provide is simple, delicious, and fresh. Even better are the drinks, they are great and an incredible value. Both days we were on the boat with people who were repeat customers from previous years. That pretty much says it all. We cant wait to do it again.
Relaxing, chilled, perfect day!!

We asked for a small, chilled, adults only boat trip and that’s exactly what we got. It was perfect, 4 swim stops, opportunity to swim with Turtles in the stunning clear blue lagoon. Easy of getting on and off the boat when swimming and snorkeling equipment if required. BBQ (at the rear of the boat) lunch was incredibly good, how this lovely family run business produced such great food from the boat is amazing. Great value for money…. We really had the best day. Thank you so much, definitely one of our holiday highlights. 😎
Family Lazy Day Cruise!!!

Our second time on Aretousa - a wonderful cruise!!! Excellent value for money, delicious lunch and drink included - a well stocked bar for further refreshments. The cruise is second to none, taking you around the coast line and very informative. Beautiful stops for swimming and even with the lovely turtles. Andreas, Anna and the whole family are so welcoming, friendly and helpful while on board. We will definitely book again, no other cruise can compare!!!!
