A private boat trip in Alanya with children
A private boat suits families because the boat, the pace and the stops are yours alone. Children count as guests within the limit of 12, there is no separate child fare, and you give the children's ages when you book so we can confirm the trip for your family.
Why families choose a private boat
With small children, a shared boat can be hard work: a fixed programme, other passengers and no way to slow down when someone is tired or hungry. On a private boat the day bends around your family instead.
If the children want more time in the water, tell the captain, who adapts the swim stops, sea and weather permitting. If they would rather watch the cliffs and the caves from the deck, nobody is waiting for you to move on.
How children are counted
The boat takes up to 12 guests, and every child on board counts as one of them. That matters most for larger families or two families travelling together: count everyone, including the youngest, when you choose your group size.
There is no child or infant fare, because the price is for the boat, not for seats. The whole boat is from €580 whatever the mix of adults and children. When you book, tell us the children's ages and we confirm.
Swimming and non-swimmers
Swim stops are in clear, quiet bays chosen by the captain, and there are snorkelling masks on board for those who want to look under the surface. A freshwater shower on board rinses off the salt before everyone dries off.
Children who do not swim, or do not want to, can simply stay on deck with you. You know your children's confidence in the water; decide together with the crew at each stop who goes in. What the stops are like is described in swimming and snorkelling from the boat.
Planning a family day of six hours
Six hours on the water is a full outing for small children, so plan it like one. Food, drinks and snacks are not included unless you arrange them in advance when you book, so either ask us to arrange something or tell us what you would like to bring. The options are explained in food and drinks on the boat.
Pack swimwear, a towel, sunscreen, hats and sunglasses for everyone, and a change of clothes for the children. The full list is in what to bring.
- Count every child within the 12 guests
- Give ages when you book
- Arrange food or snacks in advance
- Hats and sunscreen for each child
Getting to the harbour with children
The round-trip hotel transfer from central Alanya districts is included, so you do not need to find your own way to the harbour with children and bags. If you need anything particular for the transfer, tell us when you book and we tell you what is possible.
Dates and the live price are on the private boat page.

Questions guests ask
Is a baby counted in the 12 guests?
Every child on board counts as a guest. Tell us the baby's age when you book and we confirm the trip for your family.
Can we ask the captain to keep swim stops short for small children?
Yes. The captain adapts the route and the stops to your group, sea and weather permitting, so say at the start what suits your children.
Can two families share one boat?
Yes, as long as everyone together, children included, is no more than 12 guests. The price stays one figure for the whole boat; see the boat page.
