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

Kemer’s coast is best seen from the water, and this day trip strings together several bays, swimming stops, and a pirate cave aboard a large themed boat. The GONSTER, formerly called BİG KRAL, pairs the coastal cruise with lunch, soft drinks, a foam party, and round-trip transfers from Antalya.

I like two things in particular: the generous time at Phaselis and Cennet bays, where you can swim or relax instead of rushing ashore, and the included transfer and lunch, which make the day easier to plan. The crew’s friendly care and the food are also strong points.

The main trade-off is the long road journey from Antalya to Kemer, which one guest specifically found tiring. The ship can carry up to 250 people, so expect a shared, lively outing rather than a quiet sail.

Key points

• Several distinct stops: The route includes Phaselis Bay, Cennet Bay, Kiriş Bay, and a pirate cave.
• A long day at sea: The full outing lasts about eight to nine hours, including transfers between Antalya and Kemer.
• Lunch and soft drinks included: The meal is described as a barbecue, with Coke, Fanta, Sprite, and water provided.
• A party atmosphere: A foam party and onboard animations add a lively, family-friendly feel.
• Large boat, large group: The maximum group size is 250, so expect company on board and at shared facilities.
• A practical price: At $28.66 per person, transport, the boat trip, lunch, soft drinks, and entertainment are bundled together.

A pirate ship day trip from Antalya to Kemer

The GONSTER is built for a full day of shared fun, not a small-group sailing outing. You board in Kemer, cruise along the coast, stop at several bays, and return to the harbor for your ride back to Antalya. The pirate theme gives the boat a playful identity, while the itinerary’s main appeal is the chance to spend time in coves and coastal waters.

The package is described as all-inclusive, but that means the listed essentials: the boat tour, return transfer, lunch, soft drinks, foam party, and animations. Alcoholic drinks and personal spending are extra. At $28.66 per person, that is a useful bundle if you want a full day out without arranging transport or buying a separate meal.

The advertised duration is about eight to nine hours. That includes a roughly one-hour transfer each way between Antalya and Kemer, as well as time at the harbor and at each stop. If you are staying in Antalya, the road journey is an important part of the day, not a minor footnote.

From Antalya to the Kemer harbor

The day begins with an air-conditioned minibus transfer from Antalya to Kemer, with a return ride to your hotel or apartment included. That takes the hassle out of reaching the harbor, especially if you are not planning to rent a car or arrange your own transport.

The drive is also the tour’s clearest drawback. One guest described the journey to Kemer as long, so plan for a substantial stretch in the vehicle before and after the boat portion. If you are choosing between a nearby boat trip and this one, weigh the included transfer against the extra road time.

Once you reach the harbor, the captain and crew welcome you aboard and direct you to a designated seating or sunbathing area. The boat departs after passengers are settled. The maximum capacity is 250, which helps explain the party-oriented format: this is a large group outing, with plenty of other people sharing the deck and stops.

The pirate cave and the first stretch of coast

As the boat leaves Kemer, it follows the coastline toward the first photo stop, the pirate cave. The schedule places this early in the cruise, around 10:30, before the first longer swimming stop. It is a chance to take pictures of the ship against the rocky coast and get a sense of the route ahead.

The cave features again later as a final swimming stop, when you may swim into it. That second visit is the more unusual part of the day, but conditions and the group setting matter. Follow the crew’s directions and consider your comfort in the water before heading toward the cave.

The pirate story is part of the outing’s theme rather than a guided history tour. The details provided focus on the coastline, swimming, food, and entertainment, not on a historical presentation. If you want a quiet, fact-heavy excursion, this may not be your boat. If you want scenery and a playful atmosphere, the format makes more sense.

Phaselis Bay: the longest early swim stop

The first main swimming stop is Phaselis Bay, where the boat stays for about an hour and a half. The setting is described as a meeting of green trees, pale sand, and clear water. You can swim, sunbathe, or take photos with the pirate ship in the background.

That long stop is a real advantage. Rather than stepping ashore for a quick look, you have time to settle into the bay and enjoy the water at your own pace. Bring whatever you need for a comfortable swim and some time in the sun; the tour information does not specify what personal beach or swim gear is provided.

The stop is also a good moment to take stock of the group-trip format. Everyone has the same window to swim or rest, and the boat moves on when the schedule calls for it. If you prefer to spend a full day at one beach, this route will feel more structured. If you like seeing several places in one outing, the rotation keeps the day moving.

Cennet Bay: lunch after a swim

Cennet Bay, also known as Paradise Bay, is the next swimming stop, with about an hour and a half scheduled there. The appeal is its quieter natural setting, with time to swim before returning aboard for lunch. While you are in the water, the onboard chefs prepare a barbecue meal.

Lunch is included, which adds practical value to a day that keeps you away from your hotel for most of the day. You do not have to plan a restaurant stop or bring a full meal. The available details do not describe the menu beyond the barbecue, so don’t book expecting a particular dish or dietary option unless you confirm it with the operator.

Soft drinks are included as well: Coke, Fanta, Sprite, and water. Alcoholic beverages are not part of the package, and personal spending is extra. If you want anything beyond the listed drinks, budget for it separately.

The timing also gives lunch a natural place in the day, after time in the water. You can swim first, then return to the boat to eat. That is a simple arrangement, but a useful one on a long coastal outing.

Kiriş Bay and the last cave swim

Kiriş Bay is the third swimming stop, with about an hour scheduled. The bay is noted for turquoise water and large rocks, and it is part of a Coastal National Park area. The protected setting makes this a particularly scenic stretch of the route, though the stop is shorter than those at Phaselis and Cennet.

After Kiriş, the boat returns to the pirate cave for the final swim. This gives you another chance to enter the water and, if conditions allow and you are comfortable, swim into the cave itself. The itinerary frames it as a memorable finish, but remember that the day has already included several hours on board and multiple stops.

These repeated swims are a central part of the trip. The boat is not simply a sightseeing platform passing bays at a distance; the schedule makes room to get in the water at several points. Still, the outing is designed around shared departure times, so you will need to be back on board when the crew signals the group.

Foam party, animations, and the onboard mood

The foam party and animations give the cruise a more festive tone than a basic boat transfer between coves. If you enjoy music, group activities, and a lively deck, they are part of the value. If you are hoping for a subdued cruise, the entertainment may be less appealing, particularly on a boat with capacity for 250 people.

The strongest praise has been for the atmosphere and the crew’s care, alongside the food. That combination matters on a long day: good organization and a welcoming crew can make a busy shared boat feel more comfortable, while a satisfying lunch helps the package deliver on its practical promise.

The word luxury in the tour name should be read with care. The supplied details emphasize a large pirate ship, shared seating or sunbathing areas, entertainment, and a substantial group capacity. They do not describe private spaces or premium services. Think of this as a lively, value-focused boat day with a themed setting, not a private yacht outing.

Is $28.66 good value?

For $28.66 per person, the price covers return transport from Antalya to Kemer, the boat tour, lunch, soft drinks, the foam party, and animations. That is a strong list of inclusions for a day lasting eight to nine hours, especially if you would otherwise need to arrange your own transport and food.

The value depends on what you want from the day. If you plan to swim at several bays and enjoy a party atmosphere, the package brings together the main elements at a modest price. If you mainly want a quiet boat ride, a small group, or premium onboard service, the size and entertainment focus may not suit you.

Remember that alcoholic drinks and personal spending are not included. The price also does not remove the cost in time of travelling to Kemer. Factor in both the long drive and the large-group format when deciding whether the low fare is right for you.

Who should book this Kemer boat trip?

I would consider this trip if you are staying in Antalya, want a full day on the water, and would rather have transport and lunch arranged in one booking. Families and groups looking for swimming stops and onboard entertainment may find the mix especially appealing. The multiple bays give the day variety, while the foam party supplies a livelier change of pace.

It is less suitable if you want a quiet, intimate cruise, have little patience for road transfers, or prefer to spend a long stretch at one beach. The boat’s 250-person maximum is a useful clue about the scale, and the transfer is a significant part of the outing.

Booking is typically made around 11 days ahead. Confirmation is normally received at booking, though bookings made within eight hours of departure are confirmed as soon as possible, subject to availability. You can cancel for a full refund up to 24 hours before the start time. Poor weather or a failure to meet the minimum number of participants can lead to a different date or a refund.

Should you book?

Book the GONSTER if you want an affordable, high-energy day with several swimming stops, lunch, soft drinks, and transport bundled in. Its best features are the time at Phaselis and Cennet bays, the crew’s reported care, and the lively onboard atmosphere. Skip it if a long minibus ride or a crowded party boat would spoil your day. For the right mood, this is a practical way to see several parts of the Kemer coast without organizing each piece yourself.
