A 50 to 60m motor yacht Cyprus through the 2026 peak window (June through September, longer than the structural Aegean and Adriatic seasons) runs $325,000 to $485,000 per week plus 26 to 28 percent APA, takes 10 to 12 guests on the 6-cabin standard, and carries 14 to 17 crew. Cyprus runs two structural 50 to 60m bases: Limassol Marina on the central southern coast (the only Cypriot marina with the full 50 to 60m commercial outer-T-pier allocation) and Larnaca Marina on the southern east coast as the structural alternative on the 55m and upper end. Paphos Old Harbour and Pafos Marina on the western coast hold the structural 30 to 35-metre line only and the 50 to 60m bracket runs no allocation on the western Paphos berths. The structural arrival runs Larnaca airport (LCA) at 70 kilometres east of Limassol Marina or 6 kilometres from Larnaca Marina on the captain's car or the bracket-fit 15 to 25-minute helicopter leg, with the Cat A helipad operation the standard. Roughly 2 to 4 yachts in this LOA work the Cypriot circumnavigation through a typical August week, the lowest 50 to 60m density on the eastern Mediterranean outside the dedicated Lebanese-coast and Israeli-coast brackets because the Aegean-Greek-island fleet density does not extend structurally east of the Rhodes-Dodecanese corridor.
Why the bracket works Cyprus
Limassol Marina. The Limassol Marina on the central southern Cypriot coast in the Limassol Old Town western face holds the structural 50 to 60m allocation on the outer T-pier on prior Limassol-Marina commercial-management agreement, with the bracket-fit overnight reading through the protected outer-mole enclosure on the leeward face of the prevailing summer westerly system. The Limassol shore programme runs the captain's car 5-minute transfer to the central Limassol Old Town, the prior reservation at Pyxida (the central Limassol-marina seafood bench on the inner marina), Columbia Steak House on the central Marina row for the steakhouse call, Karatello on the eastern Limassol harbour quarter for the Mediterranean tasting, and the supplementary Ta Piatakia on the central Limassol Old Town for the Cypriot-meze tasting bench. The Limassol Marina is the structural Cypriot 50 to 60m primary base.
Larnaca Marina alternative. The Larnaca Marina on the southern east Cypriot coast in the central Larnaca palm-promenade face holds the structural 55m and upper-end allocation on the outer T-pier on prior Larnaca-Marina commercial-management agreement (the Larnaca Marina runs the structural alternative when the Limassol outer-T 60m line allocation reads tight at the August peak). The Larnaca shore programme runs the captain's car 3-minute transfer to the central Larnaca palm promenade, the prior reservation at Captain Andreas (the central Larnaca palm-promenade seafood bench), Art Cafe 1900 on the inner Larnaca Old Town for the central Mediterranean call, and the supplementary 1900 Art Cafe on the eastern Larnaca face for the central wine-bar tasting. Larnaca Marina reads as the structural 50 to 60m alternative and the LCA proximity reads as the structural-fit guest-air-window option.
The Akamas peninsula and Lara Bay. The Akamas peninsula on the western Cypriot coast (the protected national-park headland north of Paphos) holds the structural daylight programme on the western face, with the captain's prior anchor on the Lara Bay sandy-bottom swing (the sea-turtle-protected nesting bay on the western Akamas face) on the Cyprus Marine Park no-anchor-on-the-Lara-beach buffer compliance and the supplementary anchor on the inner-Akamas Blue Lagoon (Chrysochous Bay) on the calm-water turquoise daylight swing for the shore-tender lunch and the inner-peninsula daylight rotation. The Akamas peninsula is the structural Cypriot western-coast daylight centrepiece at the bracket.
Paphos Old Harbour daylight call. The Paphos Old Harbour (the historic small-boat harbour on the central Paphos western face) 4 nautical mile north of the modern Pafos Marina holds the structural daylight call on the prior tender-shuttle to the Paphos Castle and the Paphos UNESCO archaeological park (the Roman mosaic-floor villas and the early-Christian basilicas), and the bracket-fit operation runs the daylight anchor on the Paphos outer-bay sandy-bottom swing 1 nautical mile offshore. The Paphos Old Harbour holds the structural 25-metre line only on the inner harbour, and the 50 to 60m bracket runs the structural anchor-and-shore-tender programme only with no stern-to allocation. The Paphos daylight is the structural Cypriot UNESCO-archaeology call.
Aphrodite Rock and Petra tou Romiou daylight. The Aphrodite Rock (Petra tou Romiou) 25 kilometres east of Paphos on the southwestern Cypriot coast holds the structural late-afternoon daylight call with the captain's prior anchor on the outer-bay sandy-bottom swing 1 nautical mile offshore on the calm-water golden-hour shore-tender brief, and the bracket-fit operation runs the no-shore-landing compliance on the protected-zone Aphrodite-Rock perimeter. The Petra tou Romiou daylight is the structural southwestern-coast cultural call and the bracket-fit programme runs the outer-bay anchor on the prior Cyprus-Marine-Park notification.
Weekly rate map for the 2026 season
Rates below are for peak weeks (June through September, the structural Cypriot extended peak) for the 2026 East Mediterranean charter season, before APA at 27 percent and gratuity at 10 to 15 percent. The Cypriot charter VAT at 19 percent on the charter fee, the Limassol Marina commercial outer-T berth fees, the Larnaca Marina alternative commercial fees, the Cat A helipad LCA airport agency notification, and the bunker fuel allocation through the Cypriot circumnavigation corridor run through the APA.
| LOA bracket | Motor yacht (low to high) | Sailing yacht and large sailing tri (low to high) |
|---|---|---|
| 50 to 53m | $325K to $385K per week | $290K to $345K per week |
| 53 to 57m | $370K to $435K per week | $325K to $390K per week |
| 57 to 60m | $415K to $485K per week | $370K to $440K per week |
The 50 to 60m Cyprus bracket prices 8 to 12 percent below the 50 to 60m Rhodes at the same LOA because the Cypriot 50 to 60m fleet density runs structurally lower than the southern Dodecanese Rhodes structural Aegean-base fleet, and the Limassol Marina outer-T allocation reads more open at the August peak than the structural Aegean Mandraki or Mandhraki-equivalent base. For corridor context see the 50-60m Rhodes bracket, the 50-60m Dodecanese bracket, the 50-60m Crete bracket, the 50-60m Marmaris bracket, and the 40-50m Cyprus bracket for the smaller LOA shoulder.
What the bracket buys you in this bracket in Cyprus
Cabins. Six standard. The 6-cabin August week reads through the Limassol-base circumnavigation shape with two to three nights at Limassol (the structural Marina base) and the supplementary Akamas-Paphos western-leg plus Larnaca-Cape Greco eastern-leg rotation.
Crew. Fourteen to seventeen. Cypriot, Greek, and Maltese-flag charter list dominates the East Mediterranean fleet at the bracket. The captain plus chief stew hold the Greek-and-Cypriot-language operational fluency on the Limassol-Marina commercial-management portmaster, the Larnaca Marina alternative berth tenure, the Cyprus Marine Park Akamas-Lara-Bay protected-zone notification, and the LCA airport general-aviation pre-clearance. The chief stew's prior bench on Pyxida Limassol, Karatello Limassol, Captain Andreas Larnaca, and the Paphos-Old-Harbour-shore-side restaurant reservations is the structural broker-side question at inquiry.
Tenders. Primary 11 to 12m for the Paphos Old Harbour daylight shuttle and the Akamas-Lara-Bay shore-tender, secondary 7 to 8m beach-landing for the Lara Bay sea-turtle-buffer compliance landing on the inner-Akamas Blue Lagoon, and a chase boat for the Aphrodite Rock and the Cape Greco daylight rotation. The Cyprus tender programme runs the structural extended-coast daylight rotation hard at the bracket and the chase-boat-and-glass-bottom kit reads as the structural-fit option for the Paphos UNESCO and the Akamas marine-park overlay.
At-anchor stabilizers. Required. The Akamas-Lara-Bay, the Blue Lagoon inner-Akamas, the Paphos outer-bay, the Aphrodite Rock outer-bay, and the Cape Greco eastern-coast outer-bay anchors all run the at-anchor stabilizers through the August westerly window, and the supplementary southerly-event holds the at-anchor load on the protected northern face on the Akamas inner-bay leeward shoulder. The 2018-and-newer hulls run the structural zero-speed product at the bracket.
Beach club. Required. The Akamas Lara Bay outer anchor, the Blue Lagoon inner Akamas, and the Paphos and Aphrodite Rock outer-bay anchors run the beach club open hard through the structural Cypriot water band of 26 to 29 degrees (the warmest charter water in the central Mediterranean at the August peak), and the fold-out terraces run the daylight platform load through the bracket-fit Cypriot circumnavigation programme.
Helipad. Cat A required at the upper end. The Larnaca airport (LCA) 70 kilometre transit to the Limassol Marina holds the structural 15 to 25-minute helicopter leg, and the Larnaca Marina alternative runs the structural 6-kilometre LCA proximity on the captain's car 10-minute transfer. The bracket-fit Cypriot operation runs the Cat A standard through the LCA proximity and the structural eastern-Mediterranean guest-air-window arrival, and the captain's prior helipad protocol on the LCA controlled-airspace agency holds the bracket-fit operation. The Paphos airport (PFO) on the western face holds the supplementary general-aviation allocation on the prior agent notification.
Trip shape that fits the bracket
The Cyprus bracket reads through the Limassol-base circumnavigation shape as the structural opening anchor at the bracket. The 7-night Limassol-base shape runs Limassol Marina embarkation (one night), Akamas Blue Lagoon daylight and overnight (two nights with Lara Bay daylight), Paphos Old Harbour daylight (UNESCO archaeology shore call), Aphrodite Rock daylight, Cape Greco eastern-coast daylight (one night Larnaca Marina alternative with Captain Andreas dinner), return Limassol (two nights close with Pyxida and Karatello dinners). Seven nights. The Limassol-base shape suits the structural Cypriot circumnavigation as the standard bracket-fit programme.
For the 10-night Cyprus-Rhodes-southern-Dodecanese eastern Mediterranean cross-border the bracket runs Limassol embarkation (one night), Akamas-Paphos western leg (two nights), Cape Greco daylight, Larnaca port-of-clearance, eastern-Mediterranean transit 250 nautical mile to Kastellorizo (Greek port-of-entry on the smallest Dodecanese island), Rhodes Mandraki two nights, Symi inner-bay one night, Kos two nights close at the 50-60m Dodecanese bracket. Ten nights. The 10-night Cyprus-Rhodes-Dodecanese cross-border is the structural bracket-fit option when the closing destination weight sits at the Aegean Dodecanese disembark and the Cypriot eastern leg reads as the opening shoulder. For destination context see Charter Greece, Charter Turkey, and the Mediterranean charter weekly rates report.
What the bracket does not do well in Cyprus
The Paphos Old Harbour or Pafos Marina overnight at the bracket. The Paphos Old Harbour inner berth and the modern Pafos Marina commercial allocation both hold the structural 30 to 35-metre line only and the 50 to 60m bracket runs no allocation at the western Paphos berths. We would pass on any broker representation of a Paphos overnight stern-to or marina-overnight at the 50 to 60m bracket and hold the Akamas-inner-bay anchor overnight or the Limassol Marina structural-base return overnight instead.
The Lara Bay anchor at the bracket through the sea-turtle nesting window. The Lara Bay on the western Akamas face reads through the Cyprus Marine Park sea-turtle-nesting buffer compliance window (the structural green-and-loggerhead-turtle nesting season runs June through August on the western Akamas Lara-Bay sand-spit), and the bracket-fit operation runs the no-shore-landing-on-Lara-Bay compliance hard through the nesting window. We would pass on any captain's plan that books a Lara Bay shore landing in the June through August window and hold the inner-Akamas Blue Lagoon shore-tender alternative instead.
The full-circumnavigation 7-night week at the bracket. The Cypriot full circumnavigation (Limassol to Akamas to Paphos to Cape Greco to Larnaca to Limassol) runs structurally tight on a 7-night week with the 280 nautical mile total transit and the bracket-fit programme compresses the Cape-Greco-and-eastern-coast leg to a single daylight call. We would pass on any captain's plan that books a "full Cyprus circumnavigation" 7-night week and recommend the Limassol-base-with-Akamas-and-Paphos-western-leg shape (the structural western-half programme) or the 10-night cross-border Rhodes-Dodecanese extension instead.
Our pick
For two couples, 7-night Limassol-base western-half shape in late June at the structural shoulder peak with Limassol embarkation, Akamas Blue Lagoon two nights with Pyxida dinner, Paphos UNESCO daylight, Aphrodite Rock daylight, return Limassol with Karatello and Columbia Steak House: a 52 to 54m motor yacht with the 6-cabin layout, Cat A helipad, full beach club, at-anchor stabilizers, primary plus secondary tender plus chase boat, captain holding prior Limassol Marina outer-T berth tenure and Cyprus Marine Park Akamas notification, and the Pyxida plus the Karatello plus the Columbia Steak House reservations arranged at contract. Budget $370K per week, all-in roughly $485K including APA at 27 percent. Booking lead time: 7 to 10 months because the Limassol Marina outer-T 53-metre allocation is the binding constraint.
For a family of 10, 10-night Cyprus-Rhodes-Dodecanese eastern-Mediterranean cross-border in early August at the bracket peak with Limassol as the embarkation, Akamas as the western anchor, the 250 nautical mile Kastellorizo transit as the cross-border port-of-entry, and Kos as the disembark: a 56 to 58m motor yacht with the 6-cabin layout, Cat A helipad for the LCA embark and Kos (KGS) disembark transit, primary plus secondary tender plus chase boat, captain experience for the Cypriot-Greek cross-border port-of-entry protocol and the 250 nautical mile eastern Mediterranean transit, and the Pyxida plus the Captain Andreas plus the Marco Polo Rhodes plus the Manolas Kastellorizo reservations arranged at contract. Budget $440K per week, all-in for 10 nights roughly $815K. Booking lead time: 10 to 14 months.
For a friend group of 8, 7-night Limassol-base shoulder-shape in late September at the season close with the August Limassol Marina outer-T allocation more open, the Akamas Marine Park sea-turtle buffer closing (the nesting window structurally closes early September), and the LCA general-aviation window quieter: a 54 to 56m motor yacht with the 6-cabin layout, Cat A helipad, primary plus secondary tender plus chase boat, captain experience for the Akamas late-season anchor swing and the Paphos UNESCO daylight extension, and the Pyxida plus the Karatello plus the Ta Piatakia reservations arranged at contract. Budget $385K per week, all-in roughly $510K. Booking lead time: 6 to 9 months.
