Planning a Family Day out from Latchi Harbour aboard Nafsika II along the Akamas coastline to the Blue Lagoon.
Planning a day out with children is its own kind of logistics. You want somewhere they’ll be properly entertained, somewhere you can actually unwind, and ideally the same place for both. A cruise to the Blue Lagoon aboard Nafsika II is built around that balance.
Here’s how the day tends to unfold.
A Family Day out from Latchi
The boat leaves Latchi Harbour and heads along the Akamas coastline towards the Blue Lagoon. For younger passengers, the departure is half the fun — the harbour, the other boats, the first stretch of open water. There’s space to move around on board, so nobody’s pinned to a seat for the journey out.
The water slide
The feature that wins children over is the slide off the side of the boat. Once Nafsika II is anchored, it becomes the main event: climb up, down, splash, back on board, and again. Parents get to sit back with a coffee while the kids happily wear themselves out, with the crew close by and keeping an eye on the water.
Swimming at the Blue Lagoon
The appeal of the Blue Lagoon is clear the moment it comes into view — bright, sheltered water that suits families well. Confident swimmers can venture out a little; younger ones can stay close to the boat. And because Nafsika II anchors rather than pressing straight on, there’s real time in the water instead of a rushed dip before moving along.
Lunch on board
A barbecue is prepared on board, so there’s no cool box to pack and no rationing snacks to make the day stretch. Everyone eats together, the crew takes care of it, and even reluctant young eaters tend to do better with food straight off the grill than with anything carried from home.
Why a Family Day out from Latchi works?
The day is easy on parents by design. Three sailings a day means you can choose a departure that fits around the heat, the nap schedule, or simply how the morning’s going, rather than bending your day around a single fixed time. Everything the children need — the slide, the swimming, the food — is on the boat, so you’re not juggling separate stops or plans. And the crew do this every day through the season; they’re used to families and to the small things that make the difference on a day out with kids.
