Sea Star Coral Express Cruise from Paphos

Awful experience. We look forward to the boat trips on holidays and this one is by far the worst we’ve experienced. Weren’t informed that there would be a 90 min coach to the boat with no toilets on bus. Once we got there the trip started off well for first 1 hour I was really enjoying the sail. We paid for 6 stops around Cyprus and got 1 stop which isn’t what we paid for. We sailed to blue lagoon which was beautiful then had to head back to blue lagoon because weather was choppy which I understand you can’t help how weather going to be but it was a sunny day and didn’t seem bad at all. The food was so dry and cold. The drinks were watered down. Really bad experience. We were also told it was a 3 hour sail and it turned into 6 hours of being stranded in one place. Would not do this again.

We booked the approximately 4-hour Sea Star cruise and had a wonderful experience. The hotel pickup was smooth, and the boat itself was very clean, spacious, and well maintained. My friend and I spent most of the trip at the front of the boat instead of on the sun loungers—a hidden gem for anyone who wants to enjoy the views, sunshine, music, and fresh sea air. The lounge music throughout the cruise created a very relaxing atmosphere. The crew was friendly and attentive, and one of the highlights was being invited into the cockpit and even getting the chance to steer the boat for a moment. Drinks were good (we enjoyed water and Aperol Spritz), the toilets were clean, and the buffet offered plenty of fresh food, including salad, bread, chicken, and fruit. The group of people was a mix from young to elderly people, all getting along very well. We also had a swimming stop where guests could swim, use pool noodles, kayak, or simply enjoy the crystal-clear sea. An onboard photographer captured great memories, and photos were available afterward for 5 EUR per picture incl. the digital version sent to your email address. Overall, a relaxing and well-organized cruise with a great crew, good food, beautiful scenery, and a fantastic atmosphere. Highly recommended!

Best day trip ever. The bar man zezo was amazing. Served best cocktails ever. This guy is the best. Definitely recommend this trip

We booked with Emma in the office on the sea front in Paphos. She was really informative and lovely . It was a fabulous day out. The staff were so helpful and the Sea Star boat is lovely. The food and drinks on board were excellent. I would definitely recommend this trip.

We paid 79 euro each for this trip , being a couple who do boat trips every holiday we thought this was a tad expensive however were really looking forward to it. So we were picked up on a big coach which eventually was full by the time we got to the harbour only to be met with another coach load and walk ons .. oops bad vibes from the start . We found a bed on the top most part of the boat which were rammed together we were starting to really have 2nd thoughts . No shade whatsoever so if you wanna cook in the sun all day this will tick your box .. We set sail into choppy waters which rolled the boat about to the point people were being sick , no shade , heat and rolling seas will do this .. Tried to get refreshments but with people now sitting on the stairs and hogging as much shade as possible along with a rocking boat didnt make it easy . 1st stop coral bay , a bit of a rest bite to cool off great , I really wanted to get off here as our hotel wasnt to far away !!! Back on board and off again on rolling seas , NOW THIS IS WHERE WE WERE REALLY DISAPOINTED.. Food was served couldn't sit in the galley as some families decided to sleep on the loungers around the few tables that were there , at no point did the staff move these people so diners could eat , so guess what on rolling seas you had to go back to your sunbeds to eat ! Absolutely terrible. We could see we wernt the only ones upset with this cruise 5mins later the boat pulls in for a swim !!!!! Really couldn't make it up .. Couldn't wait to get off and mark this up as the WORST boat trip we've ever been on for the price we paid !!! Sorry sea star but not sorry at all

Half a day Cruise. Everything worked well and was well managed. Nice ,relaxed time swimming and eating Lunch. Good experience.

We had originally booked a different cruise with another company, but they had cancelled on us last minute ☹️ Me and my partner ended up walking to the Harbour during the day, and by the off chance ended up speaking to Tom who was at the stand. He was very helpful! He told us about all the cruises the company offered and we eventually picked out this half day one. The boat was spacious and clean and had lots of facilities onboard. The staff were very polite, and for the price, you just couldn’t have gone wrong, especially with all inclusive drinks (disclaimer don’t have too many cocktails, or you will get off the boat drunk like I did 🤦🏼‍♀️🤣) the food was lovely too especially the chocolate vanilla ice cream cake 😍! The staff provided life jackets and noodle floaters to those who weren’t confident swimmers. There was also a lovely photographer on board who took pictures and sold them for 5€ a picture. She also printed them out for me as well as emailed a digital copy across - excellent service! 👌🏼 All in all was a great day, would recommend! Thanks again!

Was quiet rough at times with people n drinks spilling over, been on better cruises but not much choice in Paphos

The boat was very clean, staff very polite and helpful. The journey was pleasant with great views and good commentary along the way. Later on the singer started and she was really good. The only negative was the food was very basic. Good range of drinks available on board, we loved the cocktails. We travelled with our 9 month old and was able to have our pushchair up in the deck which was ideal. Overall a very good trip and would recommend to others.

What an incredible experience, myself and my partner were treated like royalty as soon as we stepped on the transfer at our hotel, all staff involved were amazing. Some of the crew on board were summoned to dance and obliged (although this may have been to stop them falling over haha) The drinks on offer were great (sweet vodka cocktail was the best) and the bar man had a fantastic sense of humour, we also didn’t have to wait too long for a drink. There were a lot of options for food which included bbq chicken, pasta, salad, bread and much more. There was also live music which added a special touch as we were sailing. The stop at coral bay was lovely, the water was crystal clear and we even spotted a turtle. I would most definitely return and do this trip again, one of the highlights from our holiday to Paphos.
