Occasions
Birthday charter
The boat is dressed before you board, so nobody sees the setup.
How the day runs
For a birthday the crew lays the aft deck before pickup: flowers on the table, the cake in the fridge, glasses out and the sparkling wine already cold. Nothing is announced. Cake comes out when you signal, usually after the second swim when everyone is hungry and the light is good for photographs. Tell us the name and the age and we will not put it on a banner.
Bring your own cake or we collect one from a patisserie in Antalya that morning. Dietary needs are handled quietly if you say the day before.

Practical notes
The season runs from late April to the end of October, and July and August are the busiest weeks. Boarding is normally between 09:00 and 10:00, and the run out to Antalya takes about 3 h. Bring a hat, reef safe sun cream and soft soled shoes; towels, snorkel sets and shade are already aboard. Hotel pickup across Antalya, Kemer, Belek and Lara can be arranged the evening before at no extra charge. If the forecast turns, the captain moves the route to the sheltered side of the coast rather than cancelling, and a genuine weather cancellation is refunded in full.
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 Birthday charter?
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.
