GONSTER : Luxury Pirate Boat Trip Lunch & Soft Drinks & Transfer

The best part of this day is the mix of four swimming stops and easy transport from Antalya. You get clear coastal water, pine-covered bays, a pirate cave, lunch, soft drinks, music, and a foam party without arranging each piece yourself. It is a full day on the Mediterranean at a low price.

I especially like the Phaselis Bay stop, which gives you about 90 minutes to swim, sunbathe, and photograph the ship against the shore. I also like that the air-conditioned minibus, lunch, water, and soft drinks are included. The main drawback is the long road between Antalya and Kemer, so part of your day is spent in transit.

Key points to know before booking

• Four water stops: Swim at the pirate cave, Phaselis Bay, Cennet Bay, and Kiriş Bay.
• Antalya pickup included: Round-trip transport by air-conditioned minibus is part of the price.
• Lunch comes with the day: A barbecue meal is prepared during the Cennet Bay stop.
• Entertainment is central: Foam-party fun and onboard animation make this more than a quiet boat outing.
• Large ship, large group: The boat can carry up to 250 people, which suits social group fun more than peaceful sailing.
• Good low-cost value: At $28.66 per person, the package covers transport, boat time, food, and soft drinks.

What your $28.66 buys on the Mediterranean

At $28.66 per person, this is priced as an easy, high-energy day out rather than a small private cruise. You are paying for the boat, transport from Antalya, lunch, soft drinks, swimming time, and entertainment in one package.

That matters because transport alone can make a coastal day harder to arrange. Here, an air-conditioned minibus takes you from your hotel or apartment in Antalya to Kemer and brings you back after the boat returns. You do not need to coordinate a separate transfer, find the harbor, or work out how to get home after a full day in the sun.

The trade-off is scale. The ship can carry up to 250 people, so you should expect a busy shared outing. If you want a quiet deck, personal service, or a slow cruise with only a few people, this is not the right style. If you like music, group activities, swimming, and a party atmosphere, the large format works in your favor.

The current score is 4.5 from 39 ratings, with the strongest praise aimed at the atmosphere, crew care, and food. One useful warning comes with that praise: the road trip to Kemer from Antalya can feel long. Keep that in mind before booking, especially if you prefer to spend nearly all your time on the water.

The Antalya to Kemer transfer sets the rhythm

The day begins with pickup in Antalya and a ride in an air-conditioned minibus. The stated transfer time is about one hour each way, though the total journey can feel longer depending on hotel locations and the day’s schedule.

This is a practical benefit, but not the scenic heart of the experience. You will need to be ready for a full day that includes road time, boarding, several stops, lunch, entertainment, and the return trip. Wear clothes that can handle salt water and sun from the beginning, since the day is built around being outside.

When you reach Kemer, the captain and crew show you to your seating or sunbathing area. The boat then leaves the harbor and follows the Kemer coastline toward the first photo stop. The ship’s pirate design gives the outing a playful theme, but the real attraction is the coast itself: wooded slopes, open sea, rocky bays, and clear water.

The pirate cave starts the sea portion

The first stop is the mysterious pirate cave, scheduled at about 10:30 in the morning. The initial visit is mainly for photographs around the boat and cave.

This is a good early stop because it gives you a quick sense of the route before the longer swimming periods begin. Take your pictures while the boat is positioned nearby, then settle into the day’s slower pace. The cave also gives the pirate theme a physical setting instead of leaving it as decoration on the ship.

You return to the cave later for a final swimming stop. At that point, you can swim into the cave itself, subject to the conditions and the crew’s directions. That second visit is more active and memorable than the first, so save some energy for it.

Phaselis Bay gives you the longest swim

Phaselis Bay is the first major swimming stop and lasts about 90 minutes. The setting combines green trees, pale sand, and calm blue water, giving you one of the day’s best chances to relax rather than rush from one activity to the next.

You can swim, sunbathe, or stay aboard and photograph the pirate ship against the bay. The long stop is useful because you do not have to choose between a quick swim and a proper break. You have time to dry off, sit down, and enjoy the view before the boat moves again.

The bay’s appeal is natural rather than built. The plan focuses on water, shore, and the ship, not museums or town visits. If you want to see the ancient remains associated with Phaselis itself, this boat stop is not a land tour of the ruins. It is a coastal look at the bay and a chance to swim.

Cennet Bay pairs swimming with barbecue lunch

Cennet Bay, also called Paradise Bay, is the next stop. The description fits the setting: fewer crowds, quiet water, and a more secluded feel than a harbor or city beach.

While you swim, the cooks prepare a barbecue lunch on board. Once the meal is ready, you return to the ship to eat. This arrangement makes good use of the stop, since you are not losing part of your swimming time waiting for food to be served.

Lunch is one of the stronger practical features of the package. You do not need to buy a meal at a waterfront restaurant, and you can keep your day moving without leaving the boat. Soft drinks are also included, with Coke, Fanta, Sprite, and water listed as the choices.

Do not expect alcoholic drinks to be part of the $28.66 price. Alcohol is excluded, as are personal purchases, so bring extra money if you want anything beyond the included meal and soft drinks.

Kiriş Bay brings another short water break

The third swimming stop is at Kiriş Bay, known for turquoise water and large rocks along the shore. The bay is part of the Coastal National Parks, so this part of the route is valued for its protected natural setting.

The stop lasts about an hour. That is enough for a refreshing swim, though shorter than the time at Phaselis Bay and Cennet Bay. The rocks and open water give you a different view from the softer shore at Phaselis, and the change keeps the day from feeling like repeated stops at the same kind of beach.

Because this is a boat-based day, you should be comfortable entering the sea from the ship or enjoying the view from the deck. The provided information does not specify water-access equipment, so do not assume there will be special swimming aids or organized instruction. Follow the crew’s directions at each stop.

The final cave swim adds a playful finish

After Kiriş Bay, the boat returns to the pirate cave for the final swim. This is the point where the theme feels most connected to the setting. You can swim into the cave and picture the old pirate stories while enjoying one last short water stop.

For many people, this will be the most distinctive part of the route. Phaselis and Cennet Bay offer classic coastal beauty, while the cave gives you something active and unusual to do. It also provides a natural final chapter before the boat heads back to Kemer.

The order and exact timing can shift with sea conditions, weather, and the day’s operation. The experience requires good weather, and poor conditions can lead to a new date or a full refund.

Foam party and animation change the mood

This is not simply a boat ride with occasional swimming. Foam-party entertainment and onboard animation are included, so the mood can shift from quiet sea time to loud group fun.

That contrast is worth understanding before you book. You can enjoy the bays and take pictures, but you should also expect organized entertainment and a social atmosphere. The large ship is designed to keep many people involved, not to create a private, silent retreat.

The crew is another reason the experience scores well. The strongest praise focuses on a good atmosphere, attentive service, and food that meets expectations. Those details matter on a long shared outing. A friendly crew can make boarding, meal service, swimming stops, and the return to harbor feel easier.

At the same time, animation is not for everyone. If you want to read quietly on deck all day, the foam party and music may feel like too much. Families, couples, and friends who enjoy a lively day will probably get more from this format than people seeking solitude.

Timing, group size, and what to bring

The full outing takes about 8 to 9 hours. That includes the ride from Antalya to Kemer, boarding, the coastal route, four water stops, lunch, and the return transfer.

With a maximum of 250 people, the ship can feel busy during boarding, meal service, and the most popular swimming moments. The size also means you have more room for social energy and group entertainment than you would on a tiny boat, but less personal space and quiet.

The listing does not provide a detailed packing list, so keep your preparation simple and practical:

• Bring swimwear, a towel, and sun protection.
• Carry a phone or camera for the pirate cave and ship photos.
• Bring extra money for alcohol or personal purchases.
• Wear something comfortable for the minibus and a long day outside.
• Keep in mind that lunch and soft drinks are included, but alcoholic drinks are not.

The tour is described as suitable for most people. Still, a full day with road transport, sun, boat movement, and repeated water stops requires reasonable comfort with those conditions. Anyone who needs specific access arrangements should confirm them before booking, since detailed accessibility information is not provided.

Cancellation and weather details to keep in mind

You can cancel up to 24 hours before the experience begins for a full refund. Changes made within 24 hours are not accepted, and a cancellation inside that period is not refunded.

Weather matters here. If poor conditions cancel the outing, you are offered another date or a full refund. The experience also requires a minimum number of bookings, so a cancellation for that reason leads to a different date or experience, or a full refund.

Confirmation normally arrives at booking. If you book within eight hours of departure, confirmation is sent as soon as possible and depends on availability. That is a small but useful point: last-minute booking is not guaranteed, so arrange this day earlier when possible.

Who will enjoy this pirate boat day most

I would choose this trip if you want a lot packed into one affordable day. It suits friends, families, and couples who like swimming, simple food, coastal views, music, and organized fun.

It is particularly useful if you are staying in Antalya but want to see the Kemer coast without arranging your own transport. The included minibus removes one of the main obstacles, while the included meal and drinks help keep extra costs under control.

I would think twice if your ideal boat trip means a small group, quiet sailing, or a refined meal. The group limit of 250 tells you what kind of day this is. It is a social excursion with a pirate theme, a foam party, and animation, not a private yacht charter.

The long road from Antalya is the other key decision point. You get a full coastal day, but you do not get a full 8 or 9 hours on the sea. If you are happy to trade some road time for a lower-cost package, the value is strong.

Should you book GONSTER?

Book it if you want an inexpensive, full-day Kemer boat outing with transport, lunch, soft drinks, and entertainment included. The best reasons are the long Phaselis Bay stop, the quieter Cennet Bay setting, the protected Kiriş coast, and the chance to swim into a pirate cave.

Skip it if you want silence, privacy, or a short transfer from Antalya. The road journey can be tiring, and a ship that holds up to 250 people will not feel intimate.

For the price, this is a practical way to sample several beautiful bays in one day. Go in expecting a busy party boat with good swimming stops, not a luxury cruise in the quiet, private sense of the word.
