The pier thins into salt-sprayed wood as the pirate ship horn calls: by 10:00 a.m. you’re aboard a low-slung vessel that cuts through the Mediterranean with a rollicking crew and families scattered across the decks. Sunlight slides off limestone cliffs and the coves ahead dare you to dive in; gulls circle like curious guides as the ship threads toward Bosphorus Cave, Lovers’ Cave and Maiden’s Cave.

Pack reef-safe sunscreen
Use mineral-based sunscreen to protect your skin and local marine life; apply before boarding and reapply after swimming.
Bring a snorkel mask

Take seasickness prevention
If you’re prone to motion sickness, take medication or wear acupressure bands before departure to ensure you enjoy the day.
Keep ID and cash handy
Carry a photocopy of your passport and some Turkish lira for souvenirs or tips; lockers may not be available onboard.
