The six boats at a glance
Every boat on this page leaves from Alanya harbour, under the Red Tower, and every price includes round-trip hotel transfer along the Alanya strip. What differs is the length of the day, whether a meal is on board, and the mood. All of them run the same cave coastline west of the harbour — that stretch is the reason the route goes west rather than east.
- Pirate galleon — €20 adult / €14 child, 7 hours, lunch included, foam party. The cheapest and busiest day.
- Starcraft — €35 / €25, 9 hours, lunch included. The same coastline, more time on it.
- Night disco boat — €48 / €34, 4 hours, bar on board (drinks paid separately). Teens and adults.
- Sunset cruise — €35 / €25, 4 hours. The castle and the cave coast in evening light.
- Suluada island — €43 / €30, a full day, Mondays, Wednesdays and Saturdays only. A long road transfer each way.
- Manavgat river & bazaar — €43 / €30, 9 hours, buffet lunch. Mondays and Thursdays only.
If you are choosing on price
The pirate galleon is the cheapest full day at €20 per adult, and it is the only boat here where that price still includes a cooked lunch. A family of two adults and two children aged 4 to 11 pays €68 for the day, transfers and lunch included.
The Starcraft is €35 for a longer version of the same coast. Whether the extra two hours are worth €15 depends on whether you like being at sea; the route is not dramatically different.
If you are choosing on the kind of day
A boat with a foam party and animation is a good day with children and a poor day if you wanted quiet. The pirate galleon and the Starcraft both run one. The sunset cruise does not — it is four hours of coastline and light, and it is the boat we point people at when they say they want to see Alanya rather than party on it.
The night disco boat is the opposite end. Its own record says the atmosphere is best suited to teens and adults and that under-18s must be accompanied, so it is not a family evening.
The two boats with fixed days
Suluada sails Monday, Wednesday and Saturday. The Manavgat day runs Monday and Thursday, because that is when the Manavgat bazaar is actually held — a market tour on a day the market is shut is a wasted day, so we do not sell one.
If your holiday is short, check those days before you plan around either trip.
What none of them can promise
A flat sea, a dolphin, or an exact pickup time. The Alanya coast is sheltered and usually calm, but the Mediterranean is still the sea. Pickup is confirmed the evening before, because the hotel strip runs more than forty kilometres.
You pay on the day you sail, and you can cancel free up to 24 hours before, on every boat here.
