Estrela do Mar | Cruzeiro de meio dia

Booked with Joe the harbour. From pick up to drop off we had a fantastic day. The boat was very clean, all staff were friendly and while it holds 150 people there were around half at best so it was a very chilled day. The Barman was very attentive and made sure everyone had drinks. There was music playing and it would be interrupted when passing something of interest. Once we arrived at Coral Bay we were able to swim in the lovely warm sea. Lots of noodles available and an other water toys. The food was delicious and plentiful and catered for all diets. Would highly recommend .

Excellent cruise. Very attentive crew. Couldn't do enough for us. Cocktails, brilliant, well made. Fabulous choice of food. Amazing trip.

Was collected from our hotel and taken to the boat, staff were very professional and polite, at the end of trip was taken back to our hotel. This was an excellent 4 hour trip and great value. 100% definitely recommend this trip.

Fantastic day on the water with a friendly team who made it fun throughout The boat was clean, safe and enough space for everyone. The lunch was delicious and more than plenty to go round If you’re looking for an activity this is the one to choose. Turn up early so you can choose your place on the boat

A really great trip out - left at 11 - back just after 3pm. Lovely staff on board - so helpful and made the stop to swim in the lagoon amazing for our kids.

It was great fun. Good food. Great drinks. Fantastic staff. Excellent swimming spots. Super day out!! Great way to explore the Isla d and swim in beautiful spots.

Same thing happened to us that has been stated by some previous reviewers so I guess it’s not a unique scenario. We have paid 50€ per person to see the coral bays, st George’s island and the sea caves, but instead we headed to the nearest bay where we spent 2 hours approximately with options of swimming and eating (poor food, usual swimming experience). Not to mention our way there that was stretched to almost 80 minutes to fill the 3 hour cruise time, interesting detail that our way back was around 20mins. After the trip we complained via email but have not received any reply since. Total disappointment.

We enjoyed our time on the Sea Star half day cruise. We were lucky on our trip that the boat wasn’t very busy at all - which meant we had plenty of space and a choice of sun beds on board. The team on the boat were very welcoming and we particularly enjoyed the opportunity to swim in Coral Bay, which was beautiful and refreshing. The lunch selection was excellent - the best we’ve ever had on a boat trip… it really was delicious! As it was a very hot day - the unlimited drinks on board from the friendly bar man were much appreciated. This was a relaxing trip, not too crowded with some entertainment from a singer on board. We were thankful that we chose this option as opposed to one of the other ‘party boats’ which pulled into the harbour at the same time as us, which seemed very busy and loud! Obviously it depends what experience you are looking for as to what you might prefer, but for us the Sea Star was perfect!

Our party of 14 booked the day before with Sam at the harbourside and arrived the next day to a warm welcome. We arrived an hour early so that we could all sit together at the upper deck as we were such a large group. Drinks flowed and music was great as we sang along and had a fantastic time dancing. We stopped off for a lovely dip in the sea. I used a noddle they provided and felt very safe under the supervision of the crew. Lunch was a lovely chicken, pasta & salad buffet. I have been on many boat trips on many holidays destinations and I would say this was the best I've been on.

We were wandering though the harbour in Paphos and one of the guys sold us the trip. We were shown aboard the Sea Star and got our sunbeds on the top deck. As soon as you set sail, the host will tell you loads of info and facts about the coast and the sights. You can also go to the bar - the barman was brilliant and made every cocktail we asked for (we loved the Pina coladas!). The all inclusive is great and we had plenty of drinks. We saw a few of the sights including two shipwrecks, the sea caves and Shakira's house (apparently) before stopping in coral bay for a swim and lunch. The host guy was brilliant at hosting games in the sea and helping people get into the provided kayaks. Then we had lunch which was actually really good. Fresh salads and other carbs and then BBQ'd meats. (You can see them doing the BBQ whilst you sail at the back of the ship - very skilfully done). Then we set sail again to return to Paphos Harbour. There's live singing and there was a brilliant atmosphere on the boat. Everyone having a great time. They also have a professional photographer on board who will take loads of photos and you can buy them if you want. We weren't pressured at all which was nice but bought two anyway (5€ a photo). Overall this was one of our best days of the whole holiday. Staff, food, drink, entertainment were all really great!! Our only regret was not going on the longer cruise as the 11-3 felt quite short.. Definitely do it - try and find the hottest day you can as the breeze and the sea dip might be a little chilly in earlier months. Thanks to all the staff onboard - incredible day!
