Drifter 7 Towable Ride in Protaras & Ayia Napa

Catch the ultimate glide and slide across the Mediterranean! Experience the high-speed thrill of the Drifter 7 towable tube at Mike’s Watersports in Konnos Bay.

Requirements

• Group Size & Age: The Drifter 7 is specifically designed for larger groups. We can accommodate anywhere from 3 to 7 passengers simultaneously. Children are welcome to join the fun, provided they are comfortable in the open water and accompanied by a riding adult.
• Mandatory Safety Gear: Regardless of your swimming proficiency, every rider is required to wear a high-impact, specialized life jacket for the entire duration of the experience. Safety is woven into our DNA; Mike’s Watersports was founded by a champion water skier and jet bike racer, meaning you receive an elite standard of care and maritime expertise.
• Captain’s Briefing: Before you step onto the inflatable, our professional speedboat captain will conduct a short briefing on essential hand signals. You dictate the pace—signal the captain to increase the drift speed for an extreme rush, or dial it back for a smoother, family-friendly glide.

What to Bring

• Highly Secure Swimwear: The drifting and sliding action over the wake generates strong water resistance. Make sure you wear tightly fitted, secure swimwear, such as board shorts with tight drawstrings or a sporty, secure bathing suit.
• Leave Valuables Ashore: The lateral forces on this ride are strong. Hats, sunglasses, loose jewelry, and standard smartphones will easily be lost to the Mediterranean during a fast drift. Please leave them safely on the beach!
• Action Cameras (Optional): If you want to capture the excitement, ensure your waterproof action camera (like a GoPro) is securely strapped to your chest or wrist. Handheld recording is strictly prohibited for your safety.

The Drifter 7 towable is a premier, wide-stance inflatable ride available exclusively at Mike’s Watersports in Protaras. Accommodating larger groups of up to 7 passengers, this high-velocity water sports activity is priced at just €15 per person. Pulled by our high-performance speedboats, the Drifter 7 utilizes a uniquely flattened hull design to skid, slide, and drift dramatically back and forth across the boat’s wake. It delivers a thrilling, gravity-defying whip effect that guarantees an unforgettable adrenaline rush for families and thrill-seekers on the Cyprus coast.

Why try the Drifter 7 towable ride in Protaras?

If you are traveling with a large family or a big group of friends, finding a single water sports activity that everyone can enjoy together can be challenging. The Drifter 7 solves this by seating up to seven people on one massive, ultra-stable platform. Unlike traditional tubes that bounce sharply, the Drifter 7 is engineered to glide laterally.

As our 400HP tow boat executes turns in the crystal-clear waters of Konnos Bay, the tube acts like a rally car drifting on ice—sliding wide outside the wake and accelerating rapidly before swinging back through the center. At an affordable €15 per person, it is one of the most exciting, communal ways to experience high-speed action in Ayia Napa and Protaras.

The Thrill of the “Whip Effect”

The defining feature of the Drifter 7 is the exhilarating “whip effect.” Because the tow rope is long and the inflatable is exceptionally wide, any directional change made by the speedboat is amplified for the riders. When the boat turns left, the Drifter 7 swings out wide to the right, picking up immense speed as it skims across the top of the water. Riders must work together, shifting their weight and holding on tightly to the reinforced nylon handles as centrifugal force tries to push them outward. It is a fantastic test of grip strength and teamwork, accompanied by endless laughter and refreshing sea spray.

Drifter 7 Specs and Pricing

Engineered for rapid lateral movement and maximum group capacity, the Drifter 7 delivers a dynamic, sliding ride unmatched by standard inflatables.

What to expect during your Drifter 7 ride?

Once your group is securely positioned on the wide deck of the Drifter 7 and gripping the handles, our speedboat will navigate out into the open, azure waters of Konnos Bay:

Tailored to You: We put you in control of the intensity. If the lateral whipping gets too intense for younger riders, simply give the “thumbs down” hand signal. The captain will instantly reduce the speed and widen the turns, converting the extreme drift into a fun, breezy cruise along the scenic Protaras coast.

The Launch: As the captain applies the throttle, the massive tube smoothly planes over the surface. You will feel an immediate surge of acceleration as the coastline shrinks behind you.

The Drift Cycle: As the boat reaches cruising speed and begins to carve S-turns through the water, the real fun begins. The Drifter 7 will slide outside the boat’s wake, accelerating through the turns and creating massive walls of splash.
