Two hours

Sunset cruise from Ayia Napa

Out at golden hour, back after dark. Two hours, the whole boat to yourselves, and the coast lit from the side instead of overhead.

The last two hours of daylight are the best of the day on this coast, and the worst time to be on a crowded beach. We leave the harbour as the light turns, run along Cape Greco while it is still gold, and drop anchor somewhere quiet for the sunset itself.

It is the shortest charter we run and the easiest to say yes to — no full day to plan around, no early start. Sparkling wine comes out as the sun goes down, and you are back at the harbour in time for dinner.

The right two hours

We time the departure to the actual sunset, which moves through the season. In August that is around seven; by October it is closer to six.

A swim in the last of the light

Most charters stop once. The water is at its warmest at the end of the day, and the bays are empty by then.

Sparkling wine on board

Included, along with soft drinks and water. Anything else you want on board, tell us in advance and it will be in the fridge.

Just the two of you — or twelve

The same two hours work for a proposal and for a group of friends. The boat is yours either way; only the size changes.

What works for this

How it works

From first message to leaving the harbour

  1. 1

    Pick a date

    Sunset charters fill up first in July and August — a few days ahead is usually enough, the same day sometimes works.

  2. 2

    We give you the departure time

    It depends on the date, so we work it out from the actual sunset rather than a fixed schedule.

  3. 3

    Come to the harbour

    Twenty minutes before departure. Captain, fuel, drinks and insurance are already covered.

Questions

Frequently asked questions

What time does a sunset cruise leave?

It moves with the season. In midsummer we leave around 19:00, in September around 18:15, and in October closer to 17:30. We confirm the exact time when you book.

How much does a sunset cruise cost?

From EUR 450 for two hours on the Sea Ray SDX 250, up to EUR 1400 on the Ferretti 592. That is the whole boat, not per person, with captain, fuel and drinks included.

Can we swim during a sunset cruise?

Yes, and most people do. We anchor in a bay on the way out — the sea is warmest at the end of the day and there is nobody else there.

Is two hours long enough?

For a sunset, yes. If you want a swim, dinner on board and the sunset, book three or four hours instead — we will suggest it if it fits what you describe.
