Top options for Alanya
Beneath Alanya Castle, enjoy the Mediterranean with our luxury motor yachts. Private day tours and weekly charters - tailored for you.
Alanya is a vibrant jewel on Turkey's Mediterranean coast, a city where a rich history, crowned by a magnificent Seljuk castle, meets the turquoise sea. While famous for its bustling beaches and resort life, chartering a private yacht from Alanya unlocks a completely different perspective. It’s a chance to trace the coastline of ancient Pamphylia, discovering sea caves, secluded beaches, and historic ruins from the unique vantage point of your own boat.
Chartering from Alanya offers a blend of city excitement and coastal exploration. The city's iconic peninsula, with its formidable castle and Red Tower, creates a stunning backdrop for any sea voyage. The coastline here is dramatic, featuring fascinating grottoes and caves carved by the sea. Alanya also serves as a strategic starting point for longer, more adventurous routes eastward towards the unspoiled shores of Taşeli or even across to Northern Cyprus.
Alanya boasts one of the longest and warmest tourist seasons in Turkey.
This is the classic Alanya experience. Depart from Alanya Marina and cruise along the base of the historic peninsula. You'll visit the famous sea caves accessible only by boat: the Pirates Cave, Lovers Cave, and the luminescent Phosphorus Cave. Anchor for a swim off the world-famous Cleopatra Beach before enjoying lunch with an unparalleled view of the Red Tower. Circle the peninsula and return to the marina in the late afternoon.
Alanya is served by two airports. The closest is Gazipaşa-Alanya Airport (GZP), a convenient 45-minute drive from the city. Antalya International Airport (AYT) is a larger hub with more flight options but is a 2-hour transfer. Charters depart from Alanya Marina, a modern facility west of the city center. Check-in is usually on Saturday afternoon.
The private charter fleet in Alanya is well-suited for coastal cruising along the Riviera.
Your charter vessel will be fully insured and compliant with all Turkish maritime safety regulations. The captain is responsible for the safety of everyone onboard, and their decisions regarding weather and itinerary are final. Pay close attention to the initial safety briefing, which will cover the use of life jackets and other emergency equipment.
Alanya offers a different kind of coastal experience. The shoreline is marked by dramatic cliffs, historic fortresses, and long sandy beaches rather than the sheltered, pine-clad coves of the Aegean. It's a fantastic base for exploring ancient Roman and Seljuk history from the sea.
The season is long, from late April to early November. May, June, and September offer the most pleasant weather, with warm seas and plenty of sunshine. July and August are very hot and are the peak tourist season. For a quieter experience, October is beautiful.
While Alanya is famous for its daily boat trips, it also serves as an adventurous starting point for longer charters. You can embark on a one-way trip towards Antalya, exploring ancient sites, or head east to the less-traveled, wild coastline towards Anamur and Mersin.
Yes, Alanya is one of the closest points in Turkey to Northern Cyprus. The open sea crossing is approximately 12-15 hours by motor yacht, depending on the vessel and conditions. This is a journey for more experienced seafarers and requires careful planning and customs arrangements.
Alanya's harbor is famous for its large, themed daily tour boats. For private charters, you'll find a good selection of motor yachts of various sizes, ideal for coastal cruising. Classic gulets and sailing yachts are less common for weekly charters directly from Alanya but can often be arranged.
The most convenient airport is Gazipaşa-Alanya Airport (GZP), located just 45 minutes from the city center and marina. Antalya Airport (AYT) is another major international hub, though it's a longer transfer of about 2 hours.
The coastline east of Alanya towards Gazipaşa and Anamur is more rugged and open than the Aegean. While there are beautiful and secluded beaches, there are fewer deep, fjord-like bays. Your captain will know the best and safest anchorages for overnight stays.
Absolutely. Alanya is perfect for this. You can spend a few days on a boat exploring the coast and then enjoy the city's attractions, like the Dim River, Damlataş Cave, or take a day trip to the Taurus Mountains.
Determine your group's size, preferred travel dates, and the type of experience you desire-be it historical exploration, beach hopping, or simply relaxing at sea.
Choose a boat that fits your style. A motor yacht is perfect for efficiently cruising the coast, while a traditional gulet offers a more classic and spacious experience.

Carefully review the charter contract. Once you are satisfied with all the terms, a deposit will confirm your yacht for your chosen dates.
Work with your agent to plan your itinerary, food and beverage preferences, and any special occasions you might be celebrating onboard.
Book your flights to Gazipaşa (GZP) or Antalya (AYT) and pack your bags. Get ready to experience the unique beauty of the eastern Mediterranean from your private yacht.
