Quick answer
A seven-hour quiet-concept cruise along the Side coast built for switching off: every guest keeps a reserved sunbed, lunch is an open buffet, and loud music never comes aboard.
Most excursion boats compete on volume; this one competes on silence. The relax concept means no thumping playlist, no animation team, no scramble for deck space — a personal sunbed is set aside for each guest before you even step aboard. Collection from your hotel happens in an air-conditioned vehicle, and the whole day, transfers included, runs to about seven hours.
The route drifts through the prettiest water Side has: the point where the Manavgat River empties into the sea, then the coves near Dolphin Island and the Caretta Caretta bays. The crew reads the water each morning and anchors for swims where conditions are gentlest, so exactly which bays you float in depends on the day's sea.
Between swims there is nothing to organise. A fresh open-buffet lunch appears on board, soft and alcoholic drinks are already part of the price, and a professional service team plus insurance cover quietly take care of the rest. Tipping the crew stays entirely optional.
Couples marking an occasion, solo travellers with a book, anyone whose idea of holiday damage is falling asleep in the sun — this is their boat. Families are welcome too, though children hoping for foam cannons and dance-offs will honestly be happier on one of the party-style days; the reduced child rate covers ages 4 to 10 and infants up to 3 sail free.
We collect from hotels in Side, Kumköy, Evrenseki, Çolaklı, Titreyengöl, Sorgun, Gündoğdu, Kızılağaç, Kızılot. Staying somewhere else along the coast? Message us and we will tell you honestly whether we can reach you.
