Setting Sail from Protaras Pier

The sun was just beginning to peek over the horizon as I made my way to Protaras Pier, a place where the sea meets the sky in a dance of colors that only the early risers get to witness. The pier was alive with the gentle clinking of boats, each one promising a day of adventure and relaxation. As a seasoned surfer, I’ve spent countless mornings chasing the perfect wave, but today was about something different—a Magical Boat Trip that promised relaxation and coolness at sea.

The crew welcomed us aboard with warm smiles and a laid-back vibe that immediately set the tone for the day. The boat was spacious, with plenty of room to stretch out and soak up the sun. As we set sail, the gentle breeze carried the scent of the ocean, a familiar and comforting aroma that always feels like home.

Discovering Hidden Gems

Our first stop was the enchanting Fig Tree Bay, a place that had been on my radar for a while. Known for its crystal-clear waters and soft sandy beaches, it was easy to see why this spot is a favorite among locals and tourists alike. The boat anchored just off the shore, and we were given the chance to dive into the inviting waters. Swimming here felt like gliding through liquid glass, the water so clear that you could see the seabed below.

Next, we cruised towards the Blue Lagoon, a hidden gem that truly lives up to its name. The water here was a shade of blue that seemed almost unreal, a vibrant hue that beckoned us to jump in and explore. I couldn’t resist the call of the sea and found myself snorkeling alongside colorful fish and, much to my delight, a few curious turtles. It was a magical experience, though I did notice some tourists getting a bit too close to the turtles, causing them to scatter. A gentle reminder to respect the wildlife would have been appreciated.

A Perfect Day at Sea

As the day unfolded, we made our way to Konnos Bay, a secluded beach that offered a peaceful respite from the world. Here, we had the chance to relax on the boat, enjoying the sun and the gentle sway of the sea. The onboard bar served up refreshing drinks and ice creams, the perfect treat to cool down under the warm Mediterranean sun.

The crew’s hospitality was top-notch, making sure everyone was comfortable and having a good time. Their friendly demeanor and attention to detail added to the overall experience, making it a day to remember. As we sailed back to the pier, the sun began its descent, painting the sky in hues of orange and pink—a perfect ending to a perfect day.

This Magical Boat Trip was more than just a day at sea; it was a reminder of the simple joys that the ocean offers. Whether you’re a seasoned surfer like me or just someone looking to unwind, this trip is a must-do when in Pernera. Just remember to give the turtles their space and let them enjoy their home as much as we do.
