How the day runs
A day charter to Suluada is timed against the day boats rather than the clock. Leaving Adrasan or Kemer early puts you at the island by half nine, which is roughly two hours before the first excursion boats round the point. You get both beaches to yourselves, lunch at anchor in the lee of the island, and then move off as the crowd arrives.
A day charter leaves mid morning and returns before sunset, which on this coast buys three or four stops. The pattern most guests settle into is a long first swim, a slow lunch at anchor, an afternoon move to somewhere quieter, then the run home with the light behind you.
About Suluada
Suluada is a small uninhabited island off Adrasan with two beaches of white pebble so pale that the water above them turns luminous. There is no jetty and no cafe, which is the point: you arrive by boat, anchor in the shallows, and the colour does the rest. Mornings are calmest, and the light is at its best before the day boats arrive around noon.

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 Suluada takes about 4 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 Suluada?
About 4 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 Day 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.
