How does the yacht trip from Alanya work?
Hotel pickup and the drive to the harbour
We pick you up at the hotel gate, by the security post, just past the barrier, between about 08:30 and 09:30. We’ll put the exact pickup time for your hotel on your e-ticket once your booking is confirmed.
The harbour is about 5 km from Alanya centre. Depending on where your hotel is, the drive takes 10–40 minutes.
A bar, a dance floor and a sun deck on board
The yacht is waiting for us at the pier. Seating on board isn’t reserved, so you can pick your own spot: the lounge area with sofas, the bar, or the deck with sunloungers, where you can sunbathe while the yacht moves between stops. There’s also a dance floor, where the foam party takes place later in the day.
First swim by the Seljuk-era Tersane shipyard
The first stop is near the Tersane shipyard, built by the Seljuks in the 13th century. Its old docks now house a museum of shipbuilding and seafaring (the museum visit isn’t part of the tour). Here you can go for a swim.
Three sea caves, seen from the water
The yacht then follows the coast and pulls up at the Lovers’ Cave, the Pirates’ Cave and the Phosphorus Cave in turn, so you can take photos. The Lovers’ Cave is a grotto in the cliff about 7 metres above the sea, the Pirates’ Cave is linked to a legend of hidden treasure, and the Phosphorus Cave is named after the glow of its walls. You see all three caves from the water only.
Games, contests and a foam party on the dance floor
On the way to the next stop the entertainment team starts its programme: games and contests first, then the dance floor fills with foam. If you’d rather not dance, you can relax on deck or watch the coastline.
Lunch between the two swims
Lunch is served on board. Cola, Fanta and water are unlimited; tea, coffee and alcohol cost extra.
Clear turquoise water in Ulaş Bay
Ulaş Bay is the last stop of the route and the longest of the day. The water here is clear and turquoise blue. From here the yacht heads back to Alanya harbour.
Back to your hotel by bus from the harbour
At the pier the bus is waiting, and we head back to the hotels.
How long the drive takes depends on where your hotel is and on traffic; guests are usually back at their hotels around 15:30–16:00.
A day at sea for families and groups of friends: swims by the Tersane shipyard and in Ulaş Bay, Alanya’s caves from the water and lunch on board.
