From the moment we booked at the kiosk everything was perfect! A really polite lady who explained the tour, cost and facilities on board. The trip was 4 hours which includes food, drinks and stops for swimming.
We were brought to the boat and safety aboard.
I can't praise the staff enough.....they were funny, professional, kind and polite.
We had a beautiful trip around the island and after a few hours stopped for food. Hot roast chicken, fresh pasta salad, rice, Greek feta salad, white wine, red wine and juice all of which was of a better standard than our hotel!!
This boat is not a huge commercial crazy party boat but felt more personal and we loved it. If you want to see the island from the sea, eat lovely food, be looked after and entertained this is perfect. I'd book again in a heart beat.
We paid 30 euros each which is incredible value (the food alone would have probably cost 20 in a restaurant) and I'd recommend this boat to all.
Book it and enjoy.
Thankyou guys for a great day

Lovely to be back in Paphos again and be back on a half day cruise with Venus Sea Cruises and Captain Ahmed. We saw a sea turtle in the harbour while we were waiting to depart. Ahmed’s enthusiasm and love of the local wildlife is so infectious to all on board. When we last went on this cruise in 2019 we saw a dolphin! Because of the wind direction on the day we sailed, the sea was quite choppy and we couldn’t go down to Coralia bay, but instead went up to Timi bay. This was a lovely sail down the coast of Paphos past the airport to Timi bay where we anchored for swimming, snorkelling and lunch. According to Ahmed, Friday was a good day for swimming as it was the sharks day off LOL. We had a fantastic homemade lunch with chicken, rice, salad, pasta, baked potatoes, bread and fruit plus wine, juice or water if you preferred. After lunch Ahmed encouraged the fish to come to see the snorkellers which was great as visibility was not good due to the sea being choppy. Our return was a lively sail back to the harbour. Photos taken by Ahmed from the bowsprit. Our feet hanging over the side getting sprayed by the bow wave. Perfect on a hot day! This is a lovely day out on a traditional type vessel with some holiday hits playing in the background, not a party boat like some of the other boat trips. Ahmed and the crew absolutely look after everyone on board and make sure that they are enjoying themselves. We think that it was great value for money and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend it to anyone looking for a great day out.

I was on an amazing half day sea cruise last week thats why its worth doing a post here and tell you guys what you shouldn't miss out on your stay in Cyrpus!
I wanna use this post to thank the Captain Ahmed for being a very caring, friendly and always happy captain who really makes sure everyone one board is having a good time. He fullfilled all the guests wishes, was very friendly and also put special attention to the kids on board.
The food he prepared was delicious! He also offered to take pictures of whoever wanted a nice memory with cool spots out there on the sea. I can fully recommend this cruise to anyone and i wanna give a BIG THANK YOU to the Captain for the special time he gave all of us! Great Cyprus memories! 🤗

Totally enjoyable experience. Had a fabulous half day cruise from 11-3! Bbq lunch was delicious and plenty for at least two
Servings each. Wine and orange quash included and the bar serves other drinks at a surcharge but still very reasonably priced.
The crew were AMAZING! Went out of their way to personally ensure everyone was catered for. Made us laugh and also just generally attentive to everyone’s needs.
They encouraged fun and a nice atmosphere without being pushy.
We sat on top deck where there were mattresses to lie on in the sun all day.
Wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Venus Sea Cruises as the smaller more personal service was far better than the larger cruises where people were seemingly rowdy and out of control.

Saturday 7th May 2022 Booked a 4 hour/half day cruise for 2 moms and two 18 year old girls.
Lila sold us the tickets from her stand at the harbour in Paphos and showed us which boat we would be cruising on. She was very informative and everything she said was accurate.
The boat was just big enough which made it more personal. All age groups were on board and everyone was happy and friendly towards each other. Lovely music playing which made for a happy atmosphere.
The Captain was so attentive and spoke to Everybody on board and made you feel included in everything without intruding on your personal space.
The buffet at lunch time was delicious and included wine, beer and soft drinks. There was more than enough for everyone and second helpings were most certainly encouraged.
The Captain was on hand to take photos for you with your camera and especially a Titanic pose for those who wanted one.
Swimming breaks were such fun and you didn't have to swim if you didn't want to.
If I ever come to Paphos again I would certainly book another cruise with Venus sea cruises, it was just perfect and great views of the coastline.

I have regularly booked with this company either a lazy day cruise, half day cruise or sunset cruise. Every trip has been amazing and cannot fault anything. Have done other boat trips in the area but this one is far the best one.
Captain Ahmed is a very warm and sincere person and takes time to speak to everyone on the boat to make them feel welcome and to put them at ease.
Recommended this trip to friends who have holidayed here and they have thoroughly enjoyed themselves on this boat.
Venus sea cruises are definitely the best and as soon as we land in Paphos our first visit is to book with Venus Sea Cruises

Really happy we chose this trip! It doesn't have the blaring music & 'whoop whoop' animation crew I was hearing on other boats. Instead it offers a smaller, more authentic & family friendly trip with 20 or so other people, with a great crew lead by captain Ahmed, who genuinely cares about all the passengers. He took time to ensure everyone saw turtles, flying fish, and got the best photos. Food was fantastic, music was a combination of authentic Greek and not too loud holiday favourites. Was my wife's birthday so Ahmed even cracked open a bottle of fizz to help celebrate. Totally recommend the Adonis trip for people who want an authentic feeling 4 hours out at sea. 10/10. 👍🏻

We booked the trip to Blue Lagoon, Aphrodite’s Rock, and Coral Bay. Then, after paying, the captain says, change of plans, waves too strong, but they were the same as on any other day of the week which didn’t disturb any other cruises! But okay, they said is’t fine this way too, we’ll go see a shipwreck and such. Guess what, we didn’t even go there either! The cruise took us just over the airport which is less than 1/3 of the original distance, no landmarks, fully random stops and like 20 meters feom the beach, you could swim there you don’t need a 45€ cruise per person. I’m fully convinced this is a scam. You shlould look literally anywhere else, or just set your money on fire because you’ll get more enjoyment from that than this absolute atrocity. Furthermore, the ship is small, it’s a glorified ferry, there’s no umbrellas and they allow way too many people to be comfortable. The food was nice, but you’ll obviously get better anywhere on shore. I strongly advise to never ever book this cruise. Ever.

We have been on this trip a couple of times each visit since 2012. Every single trip has been brilliant. Ahmed is the perfect host, funny, polite and welcoming. Look forward to seeing him next year. Would recommend this trip to anyone who likes a relaxing trip with no loud music and hundreds of people.

We hired the boat privately to have a more personal experience and it was such a lovely trip! Ahmed our captain was amazing, took us where we wanted to go, he was so friendly. We spotted turtles in the harbour before we even set off on our trip and he was shouting to nearby boats so they didn't miss the opportunity either. He really was a lovely man who really made this cruise. We had lunch on board which was amazing. We had such a fab day! Thank you again!

Hello, we apologize for the late reply. Unfortunately the weather does not allow us to operate cruises during winter time. Usually the schedule runs from mid April to start of November
Written October 26, 2017
L.S.,
Do you have boat trips starting from Paphos in the period of 16-21 March?
If yes, please answer also my other questions:
-We are a family of 3 with a baby of 1 year 10 months old. Are the cruises suitable for this small a child?
-Is a child younger than 2 years being charged?
-Would a reservation in advance be needed (and how far in advance)? Is it possible to reserve and how do I contact you?
-Taking for instance the half day (4 hour) cruise: how is the trip schedule in regards to sailing / time to swim (is this possible in this time of year) / other activities?
Thank you, Fred
