The straight answer: yes, and the boat is ours
There is a private yacht charter from Belek on this brand, it is bookable on this site, and it belongs to our own operation rather than to a partner we found for the occasion. If you have landed here from a search for a Belek yacht charter, that is the sentence you came for, and it belongs in the first paragraph rather than in the small print.
The shape of it is short enough to read in one breath. From €750 for the boat, for up to 12 guests, with hotel pickup from Belek or Antalya, and nobody else aboard. "From" is our own word and we are keeping it honest: €750 is where the charter starts rather than a ceiling, and we have not published what sits above it, so we are not going to imply that the starting figure is the last word.
It is worth saying plainly that this page said the opposite until the charter was priced and put on sale. That answer was true for as long as there was nothing to sell, and it stopped being true the day there was. A whole boat is a different purchase from a seat on one, and the rest of this page is about that difference.
Priced for the boat, not per head
A charter is not priced the way a seat is. You are buying the vessel for the day, with its captain and crew, which is why one more guest does not add one more fare. Ours is set up exactly that way: the €750 buys the boat, and up to twelve guests it does not change. Two of you pay it and ten of you pay it. At the starting figure a full twelve works out at €62.50 a head, which is the arithmetic that makes a charter worth doing once there are a few of you — and the arithmetic that makes it an expensive way for two people to spend a day.
What we will not do is print somebody else's number. Prices move, and a figure copied onto a third website is the one most likely to be stale on the day you read it. Our own fares appear all over this site because we are the ones who charge them, the charter included; the other boats in the group publish theirs on their own pages, for exactly the same reason.
The trade is worth stating plainly. You are not buying a better boat trip, you are buying the boat: the deck, the day and the absence of anybody else on it. For a party of six or eight the sum closes up quickly. For a couple it rarely does, and anyone telling a couple otherwise is selling rather than advising.
What we have not written down, and will not guess
A charter buyer expects to talk to someone, so here is the honest inventory, once, instead of a "contact us" at the foot of every section. We have not published this yacht's route, we have not published how long the day runs, and we have not published whether a meal is served on board. The route is agreed with the captain rather than fixed in advance; the rest is settled when you tell us your date and the size of your group, and you get the answer from somebody who knows rather than from a paragraph written to fill a gap.
The same goes for the vessel itself — its length, its cabins, how many crew, whether there is a sun deck. The listing carries no photographs of its own yet either, and we would rather show you none than show you a boat that is not the one you would be sailing on. Every one of those blanks is a question we can answer in a message; not one of them is a question we are willing to answer by guessing.
Where it collects you, and the harbour question underneath it
Pickup is published as Belek or Antalya, and it is part of the charter rather than an extra line on the bill. For the three shared days we collect from hotels in Belek, Kadriye, Boğazkent and Serik as a matter of routine; a hotel well beyond that belt is answered case by case, and we tell you honestly whether we can reach you instead of promising it on a web page.
Belek has no boat harbour of its own in our records, which is the fact behind most of the confusion on this coast: a Belek pickup always means a drive to the water first. Our galleon day makes exactly that journey — it begins with a hotel pickup in Belek or Kadriye and a transfer to Side Harbour, where the boat is moored, and that transfer sits inside the €25 rather than being added to it. Which harbour the yacht boards at belongs on that list of things we have not published: we confirm it with you rather than print it here.
That is also what makes this charter unusual inside our own group. Every whole boat we can point you to publishes a pickup list that follows its own harbour, and none of those lists names Belek. Ours is the one that does, and that single line is the reason this page exists at all.
Is a charter worth it for two people?
On plain arithmetic, rarely — and we would rather say so now than after you have paid us. €750 is ten times what two adults and two children pay for a full day of seats on our galleon, which is €75. Because you are paying for the vessel rather than the seat, the case for a charter improves with every person you add and is at its very weakest with two.
That does not make the shared days a consolation prize; it makes them a different product. The galleon sits at the opposite end of the same scale: a foam party, music and pirate animation running for the whole deck, which is precisely why families love it and precisely why nobody should book it hoping for peace and quiet.
And if what you actually wanted was quiet rather than exclusivity, then among the shared boats the closest thing we run from Belek is the Green Canyon day, and it deserves an exact description rather than a hopeful one. It is a freshwater reservoir behind the Oymapınar Dam near Manavgat — a deep-green, cool, calm lake between pine-clad cliffs, not a stretch of Mediterranean coast. The captain anchors in sheltered coves, there is free time on the open deck, and it is the calmest water in our programme, at €42 for adults and €25 for children aged 4-11, about 8 hours door to door. It is still a shared boat with other guests aboard.
Booking every seat on the galleon still does not make it yours
One more thing, because it tends to be asked in a hopeful tone. A single booking on the galleon can cover a large party, which genuinely helps a family group that does not want to split across several reservations. It does not buy the boat. Other guests are still aboard, the foam party and the pirate animation run for the whole deck rather than for your group, and we cannot rope off a section of it for you.
If a boat to yourselves is the actual requirement, then the shared day is the wrong product and no number of seats fixes that. That is what a charter is for, and it is why having one to sell changes the answer we give to this question rather than the answer itself.
The other whole boats in our group
Ours is not the only whole boat in the family, and if you want a different vessel or a different piece of coast you are genuinely better served elsewhere in it. The rest are published by bestboattour.com, the sister brand that actually charters whole boats on this coast, and it publishes in the same four languages as this site, so a German, Russian or Polish reader is not dumped onto an English page.
The fleet it publishes runs to five boats, and they are genuinely different days rather than five names for the same boat. What none of them does is name Belek in its published pickup list — that is the one thing ours has and they do not. If a Belek hotel pickup is what makes or breaks the day, start here; if the boat matters more than the doorstep, start there.
- Private yacht from Kumköy — about seven hours out of the Kumköy and Side coast, with lunch served on deck and a round-trip air-conditioned hotel transfer from the Kumköy and Side area included in the charter.
- VIP private boat from Side — about six hours on a traditional wooden boat or a yacht, along the Manavgat River and the Side coastline, with a freshly cooked lunch on board; the hotel transfer here is optional rather than automatic.
- Private yacht in Alanya — about six hours past Alanya castle, the Red Tower and the sea caves, with the round-trip transfer from the central Alanya districts included in the charter; food and drinks here are arranged in advance rather than served as standard.
- Luxury motor yacht — about six hours off Antalya, with the meal agreed with you in advance and, on request, a return late enough to bring you home under a sunset; hotel transfer is arranged on request.
- Private gulet — about seven hours with your own crew and a lunch menu put together for your group; hotel transfer on request, and deck decoration for a celebration arranged before the day rather than improvised on it.
What we still do not run from Belek
One product does not turn into a fleet, so the rest of the honest noes stand exactly where they were. There is no Suluada day from a Belek hotel on this brand, and the same is true of the sunset cruise, the fishing boat and the diving boat that people ask us for most weeks. Those searches are real, and we would rather answer them with a plain no than with a page pretending otherwise.
That is the standard this page is held to in both directions. A page here says yes only when there is a boat priced, entered into the system and open to book, and says no for as long as there is not — never because a yes converts better.
The three shared days, and how the booking works
So that the alternative sits on the table rather than being implied, here is the rest of the programme. Three days, three genuinely different kinds of water, all with the round-trip hotel transfer from Belek or Kadriye included and all paid in euros on the day of the tour.
- Alibaba pirate galleon: a full day of around 7 hours, roughly 6-7 of them on the boat, boarding at Side Harbour after the morning transfer from Belek. €25 for adults, €12.50 for children aged 4-11, infants 0-3 free.
- Green Canyon reservoir cruise: freshwater rather than sea, about 8 hours door to door including the scenic drive inland each way. €42 for adults, €25 for children aged 4-11, infants free.
- Manavgat market and river boat: the open-air market plus a traditional wooden riverboat on the Manavgat River, 7 hours, running on Mondays and Thursdays only because those are the market days. €43 for adults, €30 for children aged 4-11.
- All three: hotel transfer included, nothing prepaid, no card taken online, free cancellation up to 24 hours before departure.
Reserving a date, on the charter and on the rest
Nothing here is prepaid, the charter included. You reserve a date and pay nothing at that moment, no card details are collected online, and the balance is settled in euros on the day of the tour. On the three shared days cancellation is free up to 24 hours before departure, so holding a date early costs you nothing if the week changes shape.
Pickup times are confirmed the day before and depend on where your hotel falls in the route, which is why you will not find a departure clock time anywhere on this site. Belek, Kadriye, Boğazkent and Serik are all on that round as a matter of routine. If your hotel sits well beyond that belt, message us and we will tell you honestly whether we can reach you rather than promising it on a web page — the same answer we would want from anyone else.
