Renting a boat in Antalya

Antalya is the largest city on Turkey's Mediterranean coast and the fifth-largest city in the country. The city was founded as a naval base for the fleet of King Attalus II of Pergamon in 150 BC but has today become one of the Mediterranean’s most sought-after destinations. Antalya is located on the southern coast, also known as the Turquoise Coast due to the bright blue waters and there is no better way to explore the area than with a boat rental. You will be able to explore the pristine beaches, the hidden coves and the rich archaeological sites all from the deck of your boat! So what are you waiting for?

What to do in Antalya?

Antalya is Turkey’s biggest sea resort. The city is located at the heart of the Turkish Riviera, a 400-mile-long stretch of coastline which borders the Mediterranean Sea. If this is your first time visiting or your hundredth, there will always be plenty of things to do. We have put together a list of the most beautiful beaches and hidden coves in the area to enjoy with your boat hire:

• We recommend visiting Konyaalti beach, one of the most famous in the region. It is a free public beach that stretches for 5 miles on the outskirts of the city, making it an ideal place for locals and tourists alike. Due to the large amount of space available, this beach is ideal for visiting, even with large groups.
• Cleopatra Beach offers a long stretch of silky sand. The crystal-clear water is ideal for swimming and sunbathing. You can also take the cable car up behind the beach and visit the Castle of Antalya, one of the area's many famous archaeological sites.
• If you prefer something quieter, you should visit Beldibi beach. This beautiful beach is nestled between the Taurus Mountains and offers a beautiful setting while swimming in the calm waters. In addition, the outer areas of the beach are covered with lush pine trees.

A boat trip is the best way to explore a destination, but it would be a mistake to visit Antalya without discovering some of the sights on the land. Head to Kas, a small coastal town with excellent water sports facilities. There are plenty of snorkelling spots here thanks to the crystal-clear waters, but you can also go kayaking through the Koprulu Gorge or to the underwater ruins of Kekova. With your boat hire in Antalya, you can also take advantage of some of the many hiking routes too. Set foot on the Lycian Way, the longest trekking route in Turkey, where you will be able to discover ancient sites and admire lush greenery. If you’re into golf, you will love Belek, known as the golf capital of Turkey.

How is the weather and sailing conditions in Antalya?

Unlike other regions of Turkey, Antalya enjoys a wonderful climate all year round. The summers are long and hot, while the winters are short and mild. In fact, this region has an average of 300 days of sunshine per year. In summer, July and August are the hottest months, with temperatures around 45 degrees Celsius. The best time to rent a private boat in Antalya is therefore between May and October.
