Board a private luxury yacht for five hours of coastal cruising off Alanya. Swim in turquoise coves, snorkel or fish from the stern, and pass the Seljuk castle and Red Tower while enjoying lunch and all-day soft drinks.
More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
You push off from Alanya’s harbor just after the driver drops you at the quay; the Red Tower watches you go, a brick eye fixed on the Mediterranean. The yacht eases past the castle’s stone teeth—Seljuk walls carved into the cliff in the 13th century—while the sea unfurls a wide, glittering lane ahead. Guests find a place on deck, towels and chill boxes within hand, and the captain asks where you want to go: around the peninsula, toward the Pirates’ Cave, or straight to Cleopatra Beach.

Bring reef-safe sunscreen

Sea breezes can be chilly once you’re moving—bring a lightweight jacket for comfort during morning or evening cruises.
Take seasickness precautions
If you’re prone to motion sickness, take medication before boarding and position yourself mid-boat where motion is least felt.

Ask the captain to avoid anchoring on seagrass (Posidonia) and follow guidance when entering shallow coves to minimize impact.
