Protaras: 80s and 90s Sunset Cruise with Cypriot Dinner & DJ

Imagine sailing along Cyprus’s beautiful coast on a luxury yacht, with your favorite throwback hits playing in the background, a delicious local dinner in your hands, and the sun dipping low over the horizon. That’s exactly what this Protaras sunset cruise offers — a lively, adults-only evening filled with scenic views, great music, and a chance to cool off in the Blue Lagoon.

From the moment you step aboard the St Georgios, you’ll notice the boat’s welcoming vibe — stylish yet comfortable, with plenty of space to relax or dance. What we love about this experience are three things: the stunning coastal scenery, the lively atmosphere created by the resident DJ, and the authentic Cypriot dinner served on board.

Perfect for those who enjoy good music, scenic adventures, and social vibes, this cruise is especially suited to adults looking for a memorable night out at sea. It’s also well-suited for anyone craving a taste of Cyprus’s natural beauty with a fun, upbeat twist.
