Paphos Yellow Submarine Cruise: Swim, Shipwreck & Open Bar

Two hours in a semi-submarine: a shipwreck, two swim stops, and drinks on board

A 2-hour yellow semi-submarine cruise from Paphos Harbour combines underwater sightseeing with swimming and an open bar. The boat passes over the Vera K shipwreck (viewable from the cabin), stops for 40 minutes at Atlantis Beach, and makes a 20-minute swim stop at Pirates Cove near Aphorae cave. Unlimited beers, wine, soft drinks and water are included throughout.

The experience

The cruise departs Paphos Harbour and heads out to the Vera K, a 1950 shipwreck you watch from the semi-submarine's underwater cabin as the boat passes over it. The semi-submarine design means you stay dry while looking out at the seabed and whatever sits on it: no diving required, no gear beyond what you choose to use. After the wreck, you get 40 minutes at Atlantis Beach to swim and float, then a shorter 20-minute stop at Pirates Cove next to Aphorae cave, weather permitting. The whole outing runs 2 hours from start to finish.

An open bar runs throughout the cruise: ice-cold beers, wine, soft drinks and water are unlimited. Snorkelling equipment is available if you want it at either beach stop. The boat has a restroom on board, and an English-speaking guide is with you for the full journey. The route works for all fitness levels, and parents traveling with infants or small children can bring a pram or stroller.

What’s included

• Unlimited beers, wine, soft drinks and water at the open bar.
