Highlights

  • Departs daily from Alanya harbour
  • A slower evening sailing, with more deck time than the day boats
  • The cave coastline — Pirates' Cave, Lovers' Grotto, Phosphorus Cave
  • Alanya Castle and the Red Tower from the water, in evening light

About this boat trip

Alanya is a rock, a castle and a harbour, and the only way to see all three at once is from the sea. This is the evening sailing: the boat leaves the harbour in the late afternoon and turns west along the headland, so the Seljuk walls climbing the cliff and the Red Tower guarding the port sit against the light instead of in front of it.

The route runs past the cave coastline — Pirates' Cave, the Lovers' Grotto and Phosphorus Cave are all on this stretch — while the water goes from turquoise to bronze to ink. It is a slower, quieter trip than the daytime boats: fewer stops, more deck, more coastline.

Four hours, departing daily. Round-trip hotel transfer from the Alanya resort strip is arranged when you book.

Pickup areas

We collect from hotels along the Alanya strip, from Okurcalar in the west to Mahmutlar in the east. Staying further out? Ask us and we will tell you honestly whether we can reach you.

Before you board

Safety on board

What is actually recorded for this boat, what the sea does, and what we will not promise you. This section is different on every boat on this site, because the boats are different.

Cover and equipment on this boat

Our record for this boat does not list insurance or safety equipment. Rather than repeat another boat's line here, we would rather tell you that and let you ask — message us and we will confirm exactly what is carried before you book.

We do not sell or arrange travel insurance. If you want personal cover for the day, arrange it before you travel.

Sea conditions and weather

The Alanya coast is sheltered by the headland and is usually calm through the summer, but the Mediterranean is still the sea and an afternoon breeze can put a chop on the water. If you are prone to seasickness, take something before you board rather than after.

“The boat sails in light rain; only severe weather cancels a departure”

If the weather turns and the boat does not sail, you pay nothing — you pay on the day you sail, and you can cancel free up to 24 hours before in any case.

Swimming, and when to tell us

Swim stops are part of the day where the itinerary includes them. You are never required to get in the water — the deck is yours for the whole trip if you would rather stay dry.

Tell us in advance if someone in your party cannot swim, is pregnant, has a heart or back condition, or uses medication that matters on a long day out. It changes nothing about your booking; it just means the crew knows.

Children on board

Infants aged 0–3 travel free, children aged 4–11 pay the reduced child price, and from 12 the adult fare applies. Those are the bands the booking system actually charges from.

Children remain the responsibility of the adults they travel with. There is no supervised area and no childminding on any of these boats.

Boarding and access

This boat is not step-free. You board from the quay in Alanya harbour, and there are stairs between decks. Nobody is carried aboard — if walking a gangway and a few steps is difficult, tell us before you book and we will be straight with you about whether the day will work.

The boat takes up to 40 guests.

What we do not promise

  • An exact pickup time. The hotel strip runs across 10 resort areas and more than forty kilometres, so yours is confirmed the evening before rather than guessed at here.
  • Dolphins, turtles or any other wildlife. They are wild; some days you see them and most days you do not.
  • Flat water. We will tell you the sea is usually calm, because it usually is. We will not tell you it always is.
  • A star rating. We hold no verified reviews for these boats yet, so we publish none — a number we cannot show you the source of is worth nothing.
