Konakli Pirate Boat Trip
From Konakli it is only a short hop into Alanya, where the pirate ship waits in the harbour: swim below the castle walls, peek into the sea caves, enjoy lunch on deck and end the day in a cloud of foam.

Short transfer from Konakli
The pirate boat sails from Alanya harbour, because the most beautiful part of the coast – the Red Tower, the Seljuk shipyard and the caves of the castle peninsula – lies right there. Konakli is only about 12 km away, so the transfer through the tunnels into town is short, usually well under an hour even with other pickups. We confirm your exact pickup time after booking.
The ship casts off mid-morning and the first swim comes soon after, in the clear water below the castle. Then the crew steers along the cliffs to the Pirates’ Cave, the Lovers’ Cave and the glowing Phosphorescent Cave. Lunch – grilled chicken, rice and salad – is served on board, and soft drinks and water are included all day. In the afternoon the boat anchors near Ulaş Beach for the foam party with music and games, while the upper deck stays a quiet place for sunbathing. Changing cabins, toilets and showers are on board.
Tips for your day at sea
- Wear swimwear under your clothes – the first stop is only a few minutes after departure.
- Easily seasick? Take a tablet before you leave the hotel.
- Alcoholic drinks, ice cream and the photos taken on board are paid in cash.
- Bring a hat and sunscreen; there is shade on the lower deck.
The transfer between your hotel in Konakli and the harbour, lunch and soft drinks are included, and you pay on the tour day. Fancy a bigger ship and a full day? Discover the Legend Big Kral boat trip from Konakli.
