Alanya ยท From Antalya
Weekly charter, Alanya
Seven nights, and the coast opens past the day boat range.
- Duration7 nights
- Sailing time7 h
How the day runs
From Alanya a week is the only way to reach the Lycian coast, and it is worth being clear about the arithmetic: two full days west to get to Kekova, four days there, one back with a following wind. Crews who know this route leave Alanya at dawn on day one and do not stop until Side.
A week changes what is reachable. Instead of returning each evening you keep going west, sleeping in bays that day boats never see, and the anchorages get emptier as you go. Provisioning, laundry and route changes are handled aboard; you decide each morning how far to push.
About Alanya
Alanya is built around a peninsula with red stone walls running the whole way up it and a thirteenth century shipyard cut into the base, still open to the water. There are caves at the foot of the rock, the Damlatas among them, and the swimming below the walls is deep and clear. From the sea the castle reads as one continuous line of masonry.

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 Alanya takes about 7 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 Alanya?
About 7 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 Weekly 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.
