What each boat's record says
Every product page on this site carries a safety section built from that boat's own operational record, and it differs between boats because the records differ. The pirate galleon lists maritime insurance and life jackets; the Starcraft lists passenger insurance; the night boat lists mandatory boat insurance; the private yacht lists full boat insurance and on-board safety equipment.
Two boats — the sunset cruise and the Suluada day — list neither insurance nor safety equipment. Rather than copy a neighbour's line onto their pages, we say so and invite you to ask. That is the difference between a safety section and a safety decoration.
What the sea here actually does
Alanya sits behind a limestone headland that blocks the prevailing swell, so the water inside the bay is usually calm through the season. An afternoon breeze can still put a chop on it, particularly on the open stretch west of the caves.
If you are prone to seasickness, take something before you board rather than after. The boats sail in light rain; only severe weather cancels a departure, and if it does you pay nothing because you pay on the day.
Who should think twice
Anyone with serious mobility limitations. None of these boats is step-free, you board from the quay, and there are stairs between decks — the Starcraft record says outright that it is not recommended for guests with serious mobility limitations.
Anyone who needs a short day. The Starcraft and Manavgat days are nine hours and the Suluada trip is a full day with a long road transfer. If that is too much, take the sunset cruise or the pirate galleon instead.
The claims we will not make
We do not publish a star rating for these boats, because we hold no verified reviews for them. A rating you cannot trace is worth nothing.
We do not claim crew certifications, vessel inspections or safety standards that we cannot point at in a record. If a page tells you something about safety, it is either quoting the operational record or telling you the record is silent.
What to tell us before you sail
If someone in your party cannot swim, is pregnant, has a heart or back condition, or takes medication that matters across a long day, tell us when you book. It changes nothing about the price or the booking — it simply means the crew knows.
Children stay with the adults they came with. There is no supervised area and no childminding on any of these boats.
