The classic Belek boat trip: a colourful pirate galleon, swim stops in clear turquoise coves, a foam party on deck and a barbecue lunch straight off the grill. Adults €25, children 4–11 exactly half at €12.50, infants free — with hotel pickup from Belek and Kadriye included.
The boat tours
Three real boat days from Belek: the pirate galleon on the open Mediterranean (adults €25, children half price), the glassy Green Canyon reservoir cruise, and the Manavgat market day with a river cruise. Every one includes hotel transfer, lunch and free cancellation up to 24 hours.
Most booked Hotel pickup in Belek, then aboard a colourful pirate galleon at Side Harbour for a full day of turquoise swim stops, a foam party and a barbecue lunch at sea.
Trade the coast for a cool freshwater reservoir behind the Oymapınar Dam: an emerald-water cruise between pine-clad cliffs, with swim stops and a grilled lunch on deck.
Haggle your way through one of the coast's liveliest bazaars, then drift down the calm Manavgat River with a riverside lunch. Culture, colour and pure relaxation in one easy day from Belek.
The experience
Belek is famous for its manicured side: golf greens, palm-lined lobbies, pool bars. The sea in front of it is something else entirely — turquoise coves you can only reach by boat, a coastline of pine and mountains drifting past, and water so clear you watch your own shadow on the seabed while you swim.
The day starts with a knock at your hotel door and a transfer along the coast to Side Harbour, where the galleon is waiting — painted hull, rigging, pirate flags, the lot. From there the crew take over: anchor drops in sheltered coves for long, easy swims straight off the boat, music and a foam party on deck between stops, and pirate animation that keeps children entertained while the adults claim the sun deck.
Around midday, lunch comes freshly grilled from the on-board barbecue and is eaten in the sea breeze. After a last swim and some free time to sunbathe, the galleon glides back to port and the transfer returns you to your hotel — salty, sun-warmed and fed.
Stage by stage
You are collected in the morning and back at your hotel in the afternoon, with roughly 6–7 hours of that spent on the boat. Exact timings vary with your hotel location and the day's pickup schedule — we confirm your pickup time after booking.
Morning collection from the main entrance of your hotel across the Belek and Kadriye area, in an air-conditioned vehicle.
The transfer runs along the coast to Side Harbour — Belek has no boat harbour of its own, so the drive is part of the deal and it is included in the price. The painted galleon is moored and waiting: step aboard, find a spot on deck and settle in.
The ship pushes off into open turquoise water and cruises the Side coastline, with the shore and the mountains behind it drifting past from the sun deck.
The crew drop anchor in sheltered coves where the water shifts from deep blue to glowing emerald — plenty of time for long, easy swims straight off the boat.
Between swims the deck turns into a party: upbeat music, foam spraying over cheering guests, and pirate animation that keeps kids giggling while grown-ups join the dance.
Around midday a hearty barbecue lunch comes straight off the on-board grill, eaten in the sea breeze. Drinks from the bar are extra, so bring a little cash.
After free time to sunbathe or take one more dip, the galleon returns to port and the transfer drops you back at your hotel.
