Alanya Pirate Boat Tour: Caves, Coves & a Foam Party at Sea

Sail the Alanya coast on a full-rigged pirate galleon, swim in turquoise coves and dance at a deck-top foam party. Lunch and hotel transfer included.

The day starts easy, with a comfortable pickup from your Alanya hotel while the mountain air is still cool and fresh. A short ride down to the harbour brings you face to face with your ship for the day, a full-rigged pirate galleon moored beneath the floodlit Seljuk castle, music already rolling out across the marina. The costumed crew waves you aboard, the gangway lifts, and you slip out into the open Mediterranean.

As the city shrinks behind you, the captain hugs the coast so you never miss a landmark. You glide past the honey-coloured castle walls and the old Red Tower that once guarded the shipyard, while the crew points out Cleopatra Beach, the dark mouth of Pirates Cave, the Lovers' Grotto and the strange green shimmer of Phosphorus Cave. The water below you keeps changing its mind, from bright emerald to deep blue.

Between the sights, the anchor drops in sheltered coves and the sea becomes your swimming pool. Bring your snorkel and float in the calm turquoise, or stay on deck for the foam cannons, the dancing, the games and the animation that keep kids and grown-ups laughing all at once.

When hunger hits, a hot lunch of grilled chicken, rice and fresh salad lands on the open deck. There is time to sunbathe on the bow, take one last dip and grab a cold drink from the bar before the castle reappears, glowing gold in the afternoon light. Book your place and let the pirates show you Alanya the way it should be seen.
