Quick answer
Charter your own yacht along Antalya's turquoise coast, with the captain anchoring wherever the swimming is best and lunch served on deck. No crowds, no fixed schedule, just your group and the open sea.
Some days on the water belong entirely to you, and this one starts the moment our driver picks you up from your hotel in Kumköy or Side. It's a short, easy coastal run down to the marina, no crowded coach and no rush, with the first flashes of blue Mediterranean appearing between the rooftops as you approach the quay. Once you step aboard your private yacht, the captain casts off and the whole day opens up. You cruise the turquoise shoreline toward quiet coves the big day-boats simply pass by, and the anchor drops wherever the water is clearest. Dive straight from the deck, drift over the rocks with a snorkel, or sink into the sun cushions while the yacht rocks you gently, every swim stop lasts exactly as long as you feel like staying. Around midday a freshly prepared lunch is laid out on deck as the boat drifts lazily offshore. The afternoon is pure, unhurried free time, more swimming, more sunbathing, and the coastline sliding by while the only sound is water against the hull. As the light turns golden the captain points the bow back toward Kumköy, where your transfer is waiting to carry you home, relaxed and sun-warmed. Reserve your private yacht today and swap the packed tourist boats for a slice of the Antalya coast that is yours alone.
