What to bring on a day charter
Less than you think, because most of it is already aboard.
- The short answerHat, reef safe cream, soft shoes, a layer for the evening. The rest is aboard.
Bring a hat, sunglasses and reef safe sun cream in a factor you would use on a glacier, because the water reflects and the deck offers no shade unless you go under the awning. Soft soled shoes or bare feet only: hard soles mark teak and the crew will ask you to take them off anyway.
Bring a light layer for the run home. Once the sun is down and the boat is making way, a wet swimsuit and twenty knots of apparent wind is colder than the air temperature suggests, and people who ignore this end up wrapped in a towel.
Towels, snorkel masks, fins, paddle boards, drinking water, soft drinks, tea and Turkish coffee are all aboard already. So is lunch. There is no need to carry food unless somebody has a requirement worth telling us about the day before, in which case tell us and it is handled quietly.
Leave behind anything that cannot get wet or lost. The swim platform is where phones die. If you want photographs from the water, a floating strap costs almost nothing and saves the day. Alcohol you bring aboard is not charged and not judged.

Ways to charter
Common questions
How long does it take to reach Antalya?
About 3 h of sailing from the departure marina, which is why boarding is early and the return is timed for the last of the light.
Is lunch included on a Charters?
A full Mediterranean lunch is prepared aboard by the chef, with soft drinks, water, tea and Turkish coffee included. Wine and spirits are charged separately or you are welcome to bring your own.
Can we swim at every stop?
At almost all of them. The exception is directly over protected ruins, where swimming is restricted by law, so the swim stop moves to the bay alongside.
What happens if the weather changes?
The captain reroutes to the sheltered side of the coast, which on this coastline almost always works. If a day genuinely cannot sail, you are refunded in full.
How many guests can come?
From two up to twelve, depending on the yacht. Larger parties are handled by taking two boats out together on the same route.
Included in every charter
