Finike ยท From Antalya
Private charter, Finike
The whole yacht, your party only, your route.
- Duration4 to 9 hours
- Sailing time4.5 h
How the day runs
Finike is the least busy marina on this coast, so a private charter here starts without any of the usual friction: free parking, wide pontoons, no queue at the fuel dock and nobody else boarding at the same moment. For guests staying between Kumluca and Demre it also removes the two hour transfer to Antalya at each end of the day.
A private charter means no shared decks and no fixed itinerary: the boat carries your group and nobody else, and the route is set the morning of, against the forecast and whatever the party feels like. Duration is yours too, from a half day up to a full one.
About Finike
Finike is a working town of citrus groves and a large calm marina, and behind it the Taurus range goes high enough to keep snow into May. That contrast, orange trees in the foreground and white peaks behind, is the reason to leave from here. Kekova is two hours west, Cape Gelidonya an hour east.

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 Finike takes about 4.5 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 Finike?
About 4.5 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 Private 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.
