Quick answer
A painted pirate galleon, a deck full of music and foam, barbecue smoke drifting from the grill and long swims in clear Mediterranean coves — Belek's most theatrical day at sea.
Belek is famous for golf greens and long sandy beaches, but its most entertaining day happens offshore. The Alibaba is an excursion ship in full pirate costume — bright paintwork, rigging overhead, a crew who play their parts — and for around seven hours it turns the water between Belek and Antalya into a floating playground.
The day starts at your hotel door: transfers collect guests across the Belek belt, Kadriye and Boğazkent included, and deliver you to the boat. Once under way, anchor drops for swimming alternate with entertainment on deck — pirate games for the kids, dance music for everyone else, and the famous foam party somewhere in the middle.
Lunch is a barbecue cooked on board, and the bar sells cold drinks all day (they are not part of the ticket). Wear shoes with grip: a galleon deck has steps, ropes and ladders, which is precisely the fun of it — though it makes the trip a poor match for guests with limited mobility.
The mix is deliberately broad: children get animation and foam, teenagers get music and swimming, adults get the sun deck and the coastline sliding past. Friends book it as a party boat; families book it as the easiest full day of the holiday. Local travel insurance is included for everyone on board.
