Side Private VIP Yacht & Wooden Boat Tour: Your Own Mediterranean Cruise

Charter a private yacht or traditional wooden boat from Side and sail the Manavgat River and Mediterranean coast entirely on your own terms.

Some days on the water simply belong to you, and this one is yours from the moment you step aboard. Instead of squeezing onto a crowded group boat, you and your loved ones get a vessel all to yourselves, departing from the calm and scenic Manavgat River. Traditional wooden boats start from 300 Euros, while luxury yacht options rise from there, so there is a package to match every group and budget.

The day begins gently, gliding down the Manavgat River through unspoiled nature until you reach the river mouth, where cool freshwater meets the salty blue Mediterranean. This tranquil spot is perfect for your first swim and a relaxed lunch on deck. Depending on the boat and package you choose, our onboard cooks serve a fresh meal with options such as fish, grilled chicken, meatballs, traditional mezes and crisp salads.

After lunch, the captain can turn toward the historic Side Peninsula, where you decide the rhythm of the day. Drop anchor in a quiet bay near the majestic Apollo Temple or head out to the famous Caretta Caretta turtle island. Because the boat is entirely yours, you choose where to swim, how long to linger, and what music fills the air.

This is the ideal setting for a birthday, a wedding anniversary, a surprise engagement or simply a premium family day out. Availability is on request only, as these boats are in high demand, so book early. Make your own way to the departure point, or add an optional air-conditioned transfer from Kumkoy, Evrenseki, Kizilagac and other nearby zones.
