Paphos: Ocean Flyer Adults-Only Cruise with Lunch & Open Bar

Summary

Adults-only yacht cruise from Paphos with swim stops and open bar

You’ll feel instantly relaxed boarding this adults-only yacht cruise from Paphos — sipping welcome champagne, swimming near St George Island, tasting fresh buffet lunch and unlimited drinks with new friends. With hotel pickup included and no kids around, it’s all about unwinding at your own pace beneath Mediterranean skies.

What’s the experience like?

I’d been craving a real break — not just a day off, but that floaty feeling you get when the world goes quiet. So when we boarded the Ocean Flyer in Paphos harbour (after a hotel pickup so smooth I almost forgot my towel), I felt this odd mix of excitement and calm. The crew greeted us with chilled champagne — not too sweet, just cold enough to make you pause. There weren’t crowds everywhere, just small groups chatting quietly or watching the water flicker under the hull.

Our guide, Andreas, kept things light — he joked about how locals can spot tourists by their sunscreen stripes. We drifted past Coral Bay and those wild-looking sea caves; I tried to capture them on my phone but honestly, the photos don’t do it justice. At St George Island we anchored for swimming — I’ll admit I hesitated at first (the sea’s colder than it looks), but floating there with a noodle and hearing nothing but laughter and distant gulls… that’s stuck with me. Someone handed me a local cocktail from the open bar while I dried off in the sun. It tasted like summer, if that makes sense.

The buffet lunch was better than I expected — fresh salads, grilled chicken, fruit that actually tasted ripe. People wandered between tables or lounged on deck chairs with plates balanced on their knees. There was this moment where Andreas pointed out Akamas in the distance and told us stories about old fishermen who still work these waters. Made me think about how slow time moves out here compared to back home. WiFi worked fine (my friend sent jealous photos), but honestly, most people just let their phones sit face-down for once.

I didn’t expect to laugh as much as I did — maybe it was the cocktails or just being around other grown-ups who wanted something mellow instead of loud music or kids running around. On the way back to Paphos harbour, sunburned and a bit sleepy, I caught myself wishing we could stretch it out longer. That light on the water at the end… still think about it sometimes.
