Latchi Icon

Polis Crysochous, on the northwest coast of Cyprus, is the jump-off point for one of the island’s most glamorous day-boat experiences: a private charter aboard the Latchi Icon. This 11.99-meter Jeanneau Cap Camarat 12.5 WA carries up to 16 guests and was built to turn the Blue Lagoon’s crystalline bays into a private playground. Why book it? Because it blends high-performance thrills — triple 300hp Mercury engines and a drop-down electric “beach club” terrace — with genuine onboard hospitality, perfect for everything from milestone birthdays to corporate retreats.

From the moment you step aboard in Polis Crysochous, the Latchi Icon reads as a sea-going suite. Two social hubs — a forward sundeck with raised chaise lounges and an aft cockpit — give groups room to spread out without splintering. The vessel’s clever lower-deck layout converts comfortable berths into king-sized sleeping areas, and a fully equipped galley plus a separate shower stall mean a sunset overnight is possible without sacrificing comfort.

The Blue Lagoon itself is the star: glassy, turquoise water cut into coves carved from limestone and fringed by posidonia seagrass meadows that feed local fisheries and support sea turtles. Anchoring in these shallow bays lets guests dive straight from the platform, paddle through kelp forests, or drift and stare at the Akamas Peninsula’s rugged headlands. Wildlife sightings — especially loggerhead turtles and shoals of bream — are frequent near the coves.

The Icon’s electric beach club is more than a gimmick; it creates an expansive swim platform for post-dive lounging and sunset champagne that changes how you use a boat in these waters. Triple Mercury engines mean swift transfers between coves, so you see more of the coastline in a half-day than many day boats offer. For photographers, the boat’s elevated bow and aft terrace provide clean sightlines for low-angle sunrise shots and golden-hour portraits.

Logistics are straightforward: charters typically run from two to six hours and depart from Polis Crysochous, where provisioning is easy and parking is available. bluelagooncharters.com operates the vessel — the listing names the Latchi Icon as the fleet’s flagship for larger groups. Whether you want a lively swim-and-snorkel day, a secluded anchorage for an intimate dinner, or a moving vantage point for an Akamas coastline cruise, the Latchi Icon is a high-end, flexible platform that feels simultaneously racy and relaxed. It’s the rare boat that invites both celebration and quiet immersion in Cyprus’s clearest water.

Crews are professional, safety briefings standard, and customizable extras like watersports gear, catering, and sunset soundtracks make each charter bespoke — ask ahead about dietary needs, marine park rules, and preferred anchorages to craft an itinerary that fits your group’s pace and interests, and weather windows, and crew.
