Rent Sun Odyssey 409 Yacht in Protaras: Private Sailing Charter

The yacht holds up to ten people and you steer the pace, from a two-hour sunset to a full week at sea.

Rent the Sun Odyssey 409, a 39-foot Jeanneau sailing yacht, for a private charter departing from Protaras Marina on Cyprus's east coast. You choose the duration (half-day, full-day or weekly), and the captain handles the sailing while you swim, snorkel and relax at secluded anchorages like Cape Greco and the Blue Lagoon. The charter includes captain services, fuel, wine, beer, soft drinks, water and seasonal fruit. Groups up to ten.

The experience

What makes this different from a guided tour is that you're not following an itinerary. You're renting the boat and deciding where to go. The Sun Odyssey 409 departs directly from Protaras Marina with an experienced captain and crew who handle the sailing. After a safety briefing, you cruise the Protaras Riviera, taking in the dramatic eastern coastline and its turquoise waters. The boat anchors at prime swimming and snorkeling spots along the way, and you spend as much time in the water or on deck as you want.

The yacht itself is the difference: a spacious 39-foot sailboat with a wide cockpit for sunbathing, shaded areas for rest, and room to move around. Wine, beer, soft drinks, water and a seasonal fruit platter are included on charters longer than seven hours. You can book a half-day (four hours), a full-day (seven hours) or rent it by the week, so the length fits your schedule and your budget. The captain navigates. You relax, swim, and watch the coast slide past.

Groups up to ten work well on the boat: families, friends, or a small gathering all have space. The crew manages the technical side. Your job is to show up at Protaras Marina, get the safety briefing, and then decide how long you want to stay out. The return to the marina is timed to whenever your charter ends, so there's no rush and no fixed schedule pulling you back.
