12 or 28 Guests: Which Private Yacht Should You Choose?
Whether you need a 12 or 28 guest private yacht depends first on your group. Choose the 12-guest yacht if you are up to 12 people and want a calm, private day with a hotel transfer included. Choose the 28-guest jacuzzi yacht if you are more than 12, or if you want a jacuzzi on deck and more room to spread out. Both yachts sail the same route from Kundu Marina, by day or at sunset.
Start with your headcount
The simplest way to decide is to count everyone who is coming, children included, because every guest counts towards the yacht's limit. If the number is 12 or fewer, both yachts are open to you. If it is 13 or more, the larger yacht is the one, as it takes up to 28 guests.
Once the headcount is clear, the choice becomes about how you want the day to feel. Both yachts are private, so you never share the deck with strangers; the difference is size, layout and a few practical details. You can see both on the yachts page with their photos and inclusions.
The 12-guest yacht: small, calm and private
The smaller yacht is designed for small groups. It has a flybridge, sunpads on the foredeck, a saloon with seating, a table on the aft deck and a galley. It starts from €750 for the whole yacht, for up to 12 guests.
It is also the yacht that includes a hotel transfer there and back, which makes the morning simpler if you are staying in a hotel and do not want to organise your own way to the marina. Couples, families and small groups of friends usually feel most at home here; we look at families in more detail in taking children on a private yacht.
- Up to 12 guests
- From €750 for the whole yacht
- Hotel transfer there and back included
The 28-guest yacht: space and a deck jacuzzi
The larger yacht takes up to 28 guests and starts from €850 for the whole yacht. On deck there is a jacuzzi, and the aft deck has a dining table under an orange canopy where the meal is served. There is also a flybridge, a saloon with a bar, a galley, a shower room and a tender.
It suits larger families, groups of friends and private occasions, and it is also a good fit for a smaller group that simply wants more room and the jacuzzi. Guests meet the 28-guest yacht at Kundu Marina; if you need a transfer, ask us when you book. If you are planning for a bigger party, read our guide to booking a yacht for a large group.

What is the same on both
The route and the rhythm of the day are shared. Both yachts leave Kundu Marina, stop for a swim off Lara Beach, visit the smaller and the larger Düden waterfalls, and return along the Antalya hotel coast. Whether you can cool off under the falls, and whether there is time for an extra swim, depends on the sea and the weather, and the captain decides on the day.
Both serve the same style of meal with soft drinks, welcome you with snacks and a safety briefing, and play music on request. Each yacht has the same starting price for Day and Sunset, so the session you pick does not change the comparison.
Choosing for a family or an occasion
For families with young children, the 12-guest yacht is often the easier choice, because the hotel transfer there and back is included. Tell us the ages of the children when you book, as they count towards the guest limit like everyone else.
For a birthday, an anniversary or a reunion, the decision usually follows the guest list. A couple or a small circle of friends will be comfortable on the smaller yacht, while a party of more than 12 needs the 28-guest yacht, with its saloon bar and the jacuzzi on deck. For an evening celebration, the sunset session from 15:30 to 20:30 is a natural choice, and our guide for couples and celebrations explains how to tell us what you are planning.
Quick ways to decide
If you are still deciding, the points below usually settle it, and our team is happy to help if you send us your group details.

Questions guests ask
Can a small group book the 28-guest yacht?
Yes. The larger yacht takes up to 28 guests, but there is no rule that you must fill it. A smaller group may still prefer it for the extra space and the deck jacuzzi.
Which yacht has the jacuzzi?
The 28-guest yacht has a jacuzzi on deck. No jacuzzi is listed for the 12-guest yacht.
Do both yachts visit the Düden waterfalls?
Yes. The route is the same on both: Lara Beach, the smaller and larger Düden waterfalls and the Antalya hotel coast, from and back to Kundu Marina.
We are exactly 12. Is the 12-guest yacht enough?
The smaller yacht takes up to 12 guests, so a group of 12 fits. If you would like more room to move around, the 28-guest yacht is the alternative.
