I recently Boat charter Ayia-Napa, so I can help with some details. Booking in advance is definitely smart, especially from April to October, when it gets really busy. You don’t need a license if you’re chartering with a skipper. Kids are fine onboard, especially if you choose a family-friendly yacht, but always ask about safety gear for them. The coastline is beautiful, and I’d recommend heading towards the Blue Lagoon—perfect for a swim stop. As for the type of yacht, go for a motor yacht if you want comfort and stability. It’s usually smoother, which helps with kids. For a reliable option, check out this company:
