Crewed charters · Limassol Marina
Two motor yachts and a sailing catamaran, crewed by our own team, from Limassol Marina. Half days, full days, sunsets, or a few nights down the coast to Paphos and Akamas.
Aponera: Greek for a boat’s wake
We’re a small Limassol company. Three boats, our own crew, and a coastline we have known since we were kids.
Figures are illustrative. Aponera is a fictional business.
The fleet
Every price includes crew, VAT and fuel on our standard routes. A half day is four hours on the water, a full day is eight.
Flagship
01 / 03For groups and overnight trips
28 m tri-deck motor yacht
Roomy and steady, even when the afternoon breeze picks up. A shaded lounge aft, sunpads on the bow, and four cabins for the nights you stay out.
Overnight from €5,200 a night, up to 8 guests. Fuel included up to 30 nm on a half day, 60 nm on a full day.
The quick one
02 / 03For couples and small groups
16 m flybridge motor yacht
Orea gets to Governor’s Beach in half an hour and to Pissouri in under ninety minutes. Good when you want more time in the water and less time getting there.
Day charters only. Fuel included up to 30 nm on a half day and 60 nm on a full day; beyond that it’s charged at cost.
Under sail
03 / 03For sunsets and slow days
14 m sailing catamaran
A wide, flat deck, trampolines on the bow to lie on, and quiet once the engines go off. It’s also the boat we use for the shared sunset cruise.
Overnight from €1,900 a night, up to 8 guests. Fuel always included.
Trips
Most days start as one of these and change along the way, depending on the wind and how you feel. Your skipper will suggest the best spots on the day.
01
We leave ninety minutes before sunset, head out towards Akrotiri, and switch the engines off as the light goes. Cypriot Xynisteri, a few meze plates, and back in with the city lights.
€75per person, shared · private from €650
02
East to the white rocks at Governor’s Beach, or west along the Akrotiri and Cape Aspro cliffs. Two or three swim and snorkel stops, lunch at anchor.
€900and up, for the whole boat
03
First night in Paphos harbour, the second at anchor in the Blue Lagoon. Fish at Latchi, an early swim before the day boats arrive, and home with the westerly behind you.
€3,800for 2 nights on Pelagia, plus a 20% provisioning advance
04
Take a whole boat for your own occasion. We bring food from a Limassol taverna or your own caterer, dress the deck, and sort the cake or the champagne.
€1,150and up, for a half day
The coast
Distances from Limassol Marina in nautical miles. Times are for a motor yacht at 20 knots; on the catamaran, allow about three times as long.
Start0 nm
We meet you at pontoon C by the marina reception, fifteen minutes before departure. White-soled shoes or bare feet on deck.

East · half day11 nm · 33 min
White marl rocks, clear deep water and small coves where we anchor to swim. Our closest trip, and the one we suggest for families.

West · full day31 nm · 1 h 33
Past the Akrotiri cliffs and Cape Aspro, a swim in Pissouri Bay, then Aphrodite’s Rock from the sea, the way few people see it.

North-west · 2+ nights72 nm · 3 h 36
Round Cape Drepano and up the wild west coast to the clearest water on the island. We keep this one for overnight trips, with a night in Paphos on the way.

“The skipper changed course when the wind picked up and took us to a cove we’d never have found on our own.”
Hannah, United Kingdom · Orea, full day
“We booked it for my mother’s fiftieth. Everything was ready when we arrived, and nobody was in a hurry to get back.”
Marina, Cyprus · Kalyka, half day
“Quiet, simple, good wine. The sunset with the engines off was worth the trip on its own.”
Jonas, Germany · shared sunset cruise

Questions
Your skipper checks the forecast the afternoon before. If Beaufort 5 or more is expected, we offer another day or a full refund. Often we simply change direction: when the westerly builds, the sheltered side of Limassol Bay stays calm.
A 30% deposit by card or bank transfer confirms the date. The balance is due seven days before, or on the day for last-minute bookings.
Full refund up to 14 days before, 50% from 13 to 7 days before, and no refund after that, unless we cancel for weather.
From Limassol Marina, pontoon C. There’s public parking at the marina, and one of the crew meets you at reception and walks you to the boat.
Of course, at no charge. We just ask for no red wine and no glass bottles on the foredeck, for the cushions and the bare feet.
Yes. We carry child life jackets in every size, and children count towards the guest number. With babies, Pelagia is the steadiest boat.
Mornings are nearly always calmer. Tell us when you book and we’ll plan short legs with more time at anchor. We always carry tablets on board.
