Hotel pickup & transfer to Antalya harbor
We pick up guests at their Belek hotels and transfer by vehicle to the meeting/boarding point at Yeni Liman (Antalya). Pickup times vary by hotel; your exact pickup time will be confirmed the day before the tour.
Tips from local experts:
- Be ready at the main entrance gate of your hotel at the confirmed pickup time — do not wait in the lobby due to hotel privacy rules.
- Bring a small dry bag with essentials (towel, sunscreen, ID); there will be limited space on board for personal items.
- If travelling with a baby, bring your own infant seat or carrier — infant seats are not provided on vehicles.

Why this experience
Some days on water are meant for calm rather than excitement—swimming in clear bays without crowds, conversation that doesn't compete with a DJ, and the kind of pace where lunch tastes like a reward rather than fuel between events. The Antalya coastline from the boat reveals cliffs, inlets, and the Lower Düden Waterfall spilling from land into sea, views that make the landscape coherent in a way driving along it never quite does. Swimming stops at anchorages mean you float in turquoise water without the adrenaline of a party boat, just the simple sensation of being held by the Mediterranean. Lunch onboard brings fresh food and time to sit, talk, and digest both the meal and the morning. The guide knows which bays have shade, which have the calmest water, and which times of day avoid crowds—details that separate a pleasant boat day from one where you're rushing between Instagram moments. Vakare Travel Service shapes this experience for couples and travelers seeking ease, not intensity.
Before you go
- Best time: April–October. Water is warm enough for swimming April through September. October offers quieter crowds and still-pleasant conditions. Avoid November–March when water is cool and winter storms occur.
- Budget: Includes boat, crew, guide, all swimming stops, lunch onboard, soft drinks, and hotel round-trip transfer. Bring cash for alcohol, extra snacks, or tips.
- Difficulty: Easy. The boat supplies all motion; you provide the relaxation. No swimming experience required, though water comfort enhances enjoyment.
- What to bring: Swimwear, towel, sunscreen (bring extra and reapply), hat or sunglasses, light layers for sea breeze, waterproof camera, and a book or audiobook for downtime.
- Getting there: Hotel pickup from Belek early morning, return mid-afternoon. Boat runs approximately 6–7 hours including all stops, swimming, and meals.
- Accessibility: Boat boarding involves climbing steps. Deck areas can be slippery when wet. Seating is available for those who prefer not to stand. Swimming is optional. Ask operator about railing access and mobility assistance.
Frequently asked questions
How is this boat tour different from the party boat? This tour emphasizes calm, swimming, and scenery without loud music, foam parties, or high-energy crowds. Both include meals and swimming, but the atmosphere and pacing are fundamentally different.
Will we spend enough time at each swimming stop? Yes. The boat anchors for 45 minutes to an hour at each bay, giving you real time to swim, float, and explore rather than a quick splash and move on.
What's included in the onboard lunch? A leisurely Turkish meal featuring grilled meat or seafood, fresh salads, bread, and tea. Vegetarian options are available. Soft drinks are included; alcohol is extra.
Is the Mediterranean water cold? Not in the season this tour typically runs. April through October, water temperatures range from refreshing (April–May) to warm (June–September). October is still pleasant. Bring a light wetsuit if you're sensitive to cold.
Can we bring snorkel gear? Often, yes. The boat stops in clear bays where snorkeling is possible. Check with the operator about gear rental or bringing your own.
Is this tour good for solo travelers? Absolutely. You'll meet other travelers onboard, and the pace allows for both social time and solitude. No awkwardness in being alone.
Complete your trip in Belek
For more active water days, try the all-inclusive party boat, the Antalya city tour with boat section, or the Green Canyon boat ride. For land adventures, book the jeep safari or quad safari. To extend culture and history, the Demre, Myra, and Kekova private tour pairs well with water time.
