Antalya Boat Trip — Private Tour from Antalya

The Antalya Boat Trip showcases the city from its most photogenic side, the sea. Most cruises set off from the historic Old Harbour (Kaleiçi marina), the small Roman-era port tucked beneath the old town walls, with views up to the minarets and ramparts of Kaleiçi.

Once out on the water you glide beneath the high cliffs that line Antalya's shore, with the Beydağları mountains rising behind the city. A highlight is the Lower Düden Waterfall, where the Düden River tumbles over the cliff edge and falls directly into the Mediterranean, a sight you can only fully appreciate from a boat.

The trip usually includes stops in calm, clear bays for swimming and snorkelling. The exact route depends on your chosen boat and the day, but the coastline, the cliffs and the waterfall are the classic sights of any Antalya Boat Trip.

Because the Antalya Boat Trip is private, the day is built around you. After hotel pickup you take the short drive to the harbour area, where you board your boat for a cruise along the coast.

A typical outing runs for a few relaxed hours on the water, cruising past the cliffs and the Lower Düden Waterfall and pausing in sheltered bays so you can swim, snorkel or simply soak up the sun. Many boats offer shaded deck space and music, and longer cruises may include a meal on board.

The timing is flexible. You can pick a shorter midday cruise, a longer half-day on the water or a sunset sailing, and your driver coordinates the pickup time to match. When the boat returns to the marina, your private car is ready to take you straight back to your hotel, with no group waiting around.

Your Antalya Boat Trip is door to door. We collect you directly from your hotel anywhere in the Antalya region, from the city centre and Lara to Konyaaltı, Belek, Kemer and beyond, and return you to the same door once the cruise is over.

The drive to the harbour is short, only around 15 km and roughly 22 minutes each way from central Antalya, so you spend your time on the water rather than on the road. You travel in a clean, air-conditioned vehicle with a courteous English-speaking driver; multilingual drivers can be arranged on request.

Because it is fully private, only your own party shares the car. There is no waiting at other hotels, no crowded shuttle and no fixed group schedule, just a comfortable, direct ride to the boat and back.

The transfer for your Antalya Boat Trip is priced per vehicle, not per person, so the whole party shares one clear fare. Prices start from €28 for a sedan suitable for up to about three guests, and from €37 for a Mercedes Vito minivan for larger families or small groups.

This price covers your private vehicle, fuel and driver for the door-to-door pickup and return. The boat ticket itself, food and drinks on board, and any personal extras are paid separately at the marina, which keeps the quote transparent.

There is no prepayment for the transfer. You simply pay the driver directly, in cash or by card, and the price you are quoted is the price you pay. With no big groups and a vehicle reserved just for you, getting to and from your Antalya Boat Trip stays private, calm and easy.

Pack for a day on the water. Bring a swimsuit and towel, sunscreen, a hat and sunglasses, and a light cover-up for the breeze out at sea. Non-slip sandals are handy on deck, and a waterproof bag protects phones and cameras.

The Antalya Boat Trip runs from spring through autumn, when the sea is warm and calm; the summer months are the most popular for swimming, while late spring and early autumn are quieter and very pleasant. Allow roughly half a day, including the short transfers each way.

The trip suits families and all ages, as the boats are stable and there is plenty to enjoy without leaving the deck. With your own private car you can keep children close, set your own timing and add a stop on the way back if you wish. Carry some cash for the boat ticket and refreshments.
