What to bring on a private boat trip in Alanya
For a private boat trip in Alanya bring swimwear, a towel, sunscreen, a hat and sunglasses. Snorkelling masks and a freshwater shower are already on board, and the hotel transfer is included, so you can travel light. Food and drinks are only on board if arranged in advance.
The essential list
That is the list we give every guest. Six hours on the water means a lot of sun, so the last three matter as much as the first two.
Pack them in a soft bag that is easy to carry onto the boat, and keep sunscreen where you can reach it; you will want to put it on again after each swim.
- Swimwear — wear it under your clothes to save changing
- A towel for each guest
- Sunscreen
- A hat
- Sunglasses
What you do not need to bring
Several things are already taken care of. Snorkelling masks are on board for your group, and there is a freshwater shower to rinse off after swimming. The captain and crew are with you all day, and the round-trip hotel transfer from central Alanya districts means you do not need to carry things far.
You also do not need cash for fuel, mooring or harbour fees; they are in the boat price. You pay the boat on the day in euros, as explained in how to book.
Leave valuables you do not need at the hotel. The less you bring, the more relaxed the day on deck will be.
Food, drinks and money
Food, drinks and snacks are not on board unless you arranged them in advance. If you did not, think about what your group needs for six hours, and ask us in good time; the food and drinks guide explains how.
Bring euros for the boat payment and a little extra for anything outside the price, such as tips for the crew or personal expenses.
If anyone in your group has particular needs for the day, such as medication or a diet, bring what they need and tell us in advance about anything that involves the crew.
Extras for families and groups
With children, add a change of clothes, extra hats and sunscreen for each child, and anything they need to stay comfortable for six hours. The children guide covers family planning in more detail.
For a celebration, bring whatever is personal to the occasion. Anything that needs the crew's help should be asked about when you book; see the celebrations guide.
Before you leave the hotel
A quick check the evening before saves a rushed morning. Lay out swimwear, towels and sun protection for everyone, and make sure the group knows the pickup time.
Be ready at the pickup time confirmed with your booking. Check you have the list above, your phone and your euros, and you are set. Dates and the live price for the whole boat, from €580, are on the private boat page.

Questions guests ask
Should we bring our own snorkel gear?

Do we need to bring towels, or are they on board?
Please bring your own towel. Masks and a freshwater shower are on board; towels are on the list of things to bring.
