THE WILDLIFE

Chrysochous Bay’s marine life

Chrysochous Bay is rich with marine life: dolphins, monk seals and sea turtles (including Loggerhead and Green Turtles) are regularly seen, making wildlife encounters a core reason to sail this coastline.

THE VESSEL

A comfortable 37-foot Bavaria for private charters

The experience is delivered on a 37-foot Bavaria yacht configured for private charters out of Latchi Harbour, offering space for cruising, sunning and easy access to the water.

THE WATER

Clear bays for swimming and snorkeling

When conditions are calm the boat anchors in crystal-clear water so passengers can swim and snorkel directly from the yacht; on windier days the emphasis shifts to sailing and making the most of the breeze.

What the day feels like

What the six hours feel like

The trip alternates between the focused, kinetic energy of sailing when the wind is up and slow, sunlit interludes at anchor when the crew serves cold drinks and snacks and guests head into the water. Weather and wind shape each outing—on breezy days you’ll feel the yacht lean into the swell; on calm days the bay becomes a private playground for snorkeling and swimming.
