Private Yacht or Shared Boat Trip: How to Decide
Choose a shared boat trip if you are travelling alone or as a pair and simply want a day on the water. Choose a private yacht if you are a group, a family or celebrating something, and want the deck, the swim stops and the meal to yourselves; ours start from €750 for the whole yacht.
What a shared boat trip is
On a shared trip you buy a place on a boat, and other groups buy the places around you. Everyone follows the same fixed programme: the same departure, the same stops for the same length of time, the same meal at the same moment.
That suits plenty of travellers. If you are on your own, or two of you want to see the coast without thinking about anything, a shared trip is a simple way to do it. What it cannot give you is a say in how the day goes, or a deck without strangers on it. If you are staying in Belek and a shared day sounds right, our sister brand runs the Alibaba pirate boat from Belek, a shared trip with one programme for everyone on board.
What changes on a private yacht
On a private charter the whole yacht and crew are booked for your group alone. Nobody else boards, there is music on request, and the deck and the saloon are only used by people you know.
Our route runs from Kundu Marina to a swim off Lara Beach, the two Düden waterfalls, where the meal is served, and back along the Antalya hotel coast. Swimming under the falls and any extra stop depend on the sea and weather; the captain decides, for your group only. If you are unsure which of our two yachts fits, see which yacht to choose.
- Shared: other groups on board, fixed programme for everyone
- Private: only your group on board, the day run for you alone
- Private: a whole-yacht price, shared however your group likes
How the price compares for a group
A shared trip is priced by the seat. A private charter is priced by the yacht, not per person: the 12-guest yacht from €750, with a hotel transfer there and back, and the 28-guest jacuzzi yacht from €850. The starting price is the same for the day and the sunset cruise.
The more people you bring, the further that whole-yacht price stretches. For a couple it is a clear premium for privacy; for a family or a group of friends it becomes a shared cost that buys you the yacht. Our private yacht price guide sets out what is included.
Our recommendation
Booking one of our yachts needs no prepayment: you send a request, we confirm it and you pay in euros on the day, with free cancellation up to 48 hours before departure. You can compare both yachts on our yachts page.
If you are one or two people who just want a day at sea, a shared trip will do; if you are a group, a family or marking an occasion and want the boat to yourselves, book a private yacht.

Questions guests ask
Do you sell places on a shared boat trip?
No. This site only offers private charters of our two yachts: one for up to 12 guests and one for up to 28 guests with a jacuzzi.
Is the route different on a private yacht?
Our private cruises follow a set route from Kundu Marina past Lara Beach, the Düden waterfalls and the Antalya hotel coast. The difference is that only your group is on board.
