You step onto Kemer Marina as the pirate-flagged boat hums awake—salt on your lips, gulls arguing overhead, and the mainland cliffs sliding aft like a slow film. The vessel peels away from the harbor, engines finding rhythm, and the Mediterranean opens: a bright, restless surface that dares you to jump in.

You step onto Kemer Marina as the pirate-flagged boat hums awake—salt on your lips, gulls arguing overhead, and the mainland cliffs sliding aft like a slow film. The vessel peels away from the harbor, engines finding rhythm, and the Mediterranean opens: a bright, restless surface that dares you to jump in.
The route threads past rocky headlands hewn from the Taurus Mountains’ limestone, then eases into Phaselis, the ancient Lycian port whose stone quays and cedar-scented ruins still shape the shoreline. Geology here favors sheltered coves carved by millennia of wave and wind; culture favors hospitality, evident in the on-board BBQ where skewers and flatbreads arrive warm and immediate.
After lunch the boat moves to Cennet Bay—its calm water pulling at swimmers—and then to Lovers Bay, a quieter inlet ideal for late-afternoon floating. Guides point out historical markers and local fishing practices while allowing long windows for swimming and sunning.
Practicalities: the full trip runs about 5–6 hours with roundtrip hotel transfers from Antalya. Expect multiple swimming stops, basic on-board seating, and a casual BBQ lunch. Bring swimwear, reef-safe sunscreen, water shoes, and a light layer for the sea breeze. If you’re prone to seasickness, take precautions before boarding. The tour is suitable for most fitness levels but requires basic swimming comfort for open-water stops.
Timing tips: morning departures mean calmer seas and clearer water; late-afternoon runs slice the sun golden across the water. Respect marine life and local rules—carry out any trash and follow guide instructions to protect the bays’ clear water and rocky shores.
Yes—roundtrip transfers from Antalya hotels are included; you’ll confirm pickup point at booking.
No; trips are suitable for most fitness levels, but basic swimming comfort is recommended for open-water stops and ladder exits.
A BBQ lunch is prepared on board, typically including grilled meats or vegetarian options and bread—notify guides of dietary needs when booking.
Yes—infants may need to sit on laps during transfers; supervise children during swimming stops and follow guide instructions.
