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

The main draw here is simple: you get a full day on the Mediterranean for $28.66, with hotel transfers, lunch, and soft drinks already covered. The large GONSTER pirate boat carries up to 250 people, so this is a lively day at sea rather than a quiet private cruise.

I like the mix of scenery and activities. Phaselis Bay and Paradise Bay give you time to swim in clear water beside pine-covered shores, while the foam party and onboard animation keep the return trip from feeling too calm. The barbecue lunch also saves you from finding and paying for food during a long day out.

The main thing to consider is the transfer from Antalya to Kemer. It takes about an hour each way, and one review specifically praised the crew and food but found the journey to Kemer long. If you want a small, peaceful sailing trip, the boat’s capacity and party program may not suit you.

Key points to know before booking

• The boat carries up to 250 people, so expect a social, energetic atmosphere rather than a private yacht setting.
• Four swimming areas are included, with stops at the pirate cave, Phaselis Bay, Cennet Bay, and Kiriş Bay.
• Round-trip air-conditioned transfers from Antalya are included, which is useful because the boat leaves from Kemer.
• Barbecue lunch and soft drinks are part of the price, including Coke, Fanta, Sprite, and water.
• The foam party and animations make this a good choice for families, groups, and anyone who enjoys music and organized fun.
• Alcohol is not included, and personal spending is extra.

A full Mediterranean day for $28.66

At $28.66 per person, this is priced as an accessible full-day outing rather than a luxury cruise in the private-yacht sense. You are paying for transport, a boat trip, several swimming stops, lunch, soft drinks, and entertainment in one package.

That matters in Antalya, where separate transport to Kemer, a meal, and a boat excursion can quickly cost more than expected. You can leave the hotel without arranging a taxi or finding a restaurant near the harbor. The package also removes some of the usual small decisions: the transfer is organized, lunch is served onboard, and drinks are available during the day.

The word luxury in the product name should be understood with care. The boat is presented as a large pirate ship, but its capacity is up to 250 people. You should expect a big organized excursion with shared seating or sunbathing areas, music, activities, and a crowd. That can be a plus if you want company and a party feel, but it is not the setting for quiet personal service.

The rating is 4.5 from 39 reviews, and the clearest positive details are the atmosphere, attentive crew, and food. One piece of practical feedback is especially useful: the food was considered good, but the trip from Antalya to Kemer felt long. I would keep that in mind when deciding how much of your day you want to spend in a minibus.

The Antalya to Kemer transfer

Your day begins with pickup in Antalya in an air-conditioned minibus. The transfer to Kemer is listed at about one hour, followed by the return journey after the boat comes back into port.

This is convenient, but it also shapes the day. The advertised boat experience lasts around 8 to 9 hours overall, and part of that time includes road travel. If you are staying in Antalya and want a sea outing without handling transport yourself, the included transfer is valuable. If you are already based in Kemer, the transport portion is less important, since you are close to the departure point.

The transfer is also worth considering if you have young children or anyone who dislikes long organized days. You will need to manage the ride to the harbor, several hours onboard, swimming stops, lunch, entertainment, and the ride back. The air-conditioned vehicle helps, but this remains a full-day commitment.

Pickup is offered, and the booking uses a mobile ticket. Confirmation is normally sent at booking, though reservations made within eight hours of departure are confirmed as soon as possible, subject to availability.

Boarding the GONSTER pirate boat in Kemer

Once you reach Kemer, the captain and crew welcome you aboard and direct you to your seating or sunbathing area. After everyone is settled, the boat moves along the Kemer coast toward the first photo and swimming areas.

The pirate-ship design gives the outing a clear theme. It is not simply a ferry ride with a few stops. You can take photos with the ship, enjoy the sea views, and join the onboard entertainment as the day moves along.

The large size changes the feel of the experience. A boat that can hold 250 people gives you room for plenty of energy, but it also means shared spaces and a less personal atmosphere. The crew’s role matters here. The available feedback points to a good atmosphere and a crew that looked after people well, which is encouraging for an excursion with many passengers.

No individual guide names are provided, so you should not book this expecting a named historical guide or a tour built around detailed commentary. The focus is the coast, swimming, food, music, and entertainment.

The pirate cave and the first coastal views

The first notable sight is the mysterious pirate cave, reached at about 10:30 according to the schedule. The boat pauses near the cave for photographs before continuing toward Phaselis Bay.

This is a fun early moment because the pirate theme fits the setting. You can frame the ship and the cave together, giving you one of the more distinctive pictures of the day. The cave also sets up the final stop, when you have the chance to swim into it.

The schedule includes a later return to this area for the final swim. That means the cave is not just a quick photo point at the start. You get two different ways to enjoy it: first from the boat, then from the water if conditions allow.

The exact time in port or at each swimming stop can change with the day’s operation. The key point is that the cave is part of both the sightseeing and swimming program, not merely something you pass at a distance.

Phaselis Bay: the longest early swimming stop

Phaselis Bay is the first major swimming stop and lasts about one and a half hours. Tall green trees, pale sand, and calm blue water give this part of the coast a more restful feel than the party activities onboard.

You can swim, sunbathe, or stay on the boat and take photos with the pirate ship behind you. The length of the stop gives you time to do more than take a quick dip. You can settle into the pace of the day rather than rushing from one photo point to the next.

This is likely to be one of the best stops for people who care most about scenery. Phaselis provides the classic combination of wooded shoreline and clear sea, with enough time to enjoy it properly.

You should bring whatever you need for comfort between swims, since the tour does not list personal items as included. A swimsuit, towel, sun protection, and a way to protect your phone or camera are sensible choices. Those are practical suggestions rather than supplied tour equipment, so plan ahead.

Cennet Bay and the barbecue lunch

The second major stop is Cennet Bay, also called Paradise Bay. The name points to the appeal: a quieter setting with nature and the sound of the sea around you.

The schedule gives you about one and a half hours here. You can swim while the onboard kitchen prepares barbecue lunch, then return to the boat to eat. This arrangement uses the swimming time well and avoids wasting part of the day waiting for a meal at a restaurant.

Lunch is one of the stronger value points in the package. Food is included, and the available feedback specifically describes it as good. You should still keep your expectations in line with a large group boat meal. This is convenient barbecue fare served during an active excursion, not a long restaurant lunch with a wide menu.

Soft drinks are also included. The listed choices are Coke, Fanta, Sprite, and water. Alcoholic drinks are not included, so budget extra if you want them and confirm availability onboard. Personal spending is separate as well.

For many people, this will be the point when the all-inclusive part of the day feels most useful. You can swim, eat, and return to the sea without arranging anything yourself.

Kiriş Bay and protected coastal scenery

Kiriş is the third swimming stop. Its turquoise water and large rocks give it a different look from Phaselis and Cennet Bay.

The bay is part of the Coastal National Parks, so the stop carries a little more meaning than a random place to swim. You can enjoy the natural setting while knowing it has protected status. The schedule allows about an hour here, enough for a swim and a look around without making the day drag at one location.

The changing scenery is a real strength of the route. Phaselis offers trees and sand, Cennet Bay provides a more secluded feel, and Kiriş brings rocky coastal views and clear water. You are not simply repeating the same stop three times.

The word protected does not mean the boat will feel remote or untouched. You are still visiting as part of a large organized cruise. The appeal comes from seeing several attractive parts of the coast in one day, not from having any one bay entirely to yourself.

Swimming into the pirate cave

After Kiriş, the boat returns to the pirate cave for the final swim stop. This time, you can swim into the cave itself, subject to the conditions and the practical directions given by the crew.

That gives the day a good closing activity. The first visit lets you photograph the cave from the boat. The last one adds a more active element, with the chance to enter the water and see it from inside.

You should be comfortable in open water before choosing to swim toward or into the cave. The supplied information does not promise specific water equipment or lifeguard arrangements, so follow the crew’s instructions and stay within the area they consider safe.

This is also a good reason to keep your phone and other valuables secure. The tour includes swimming, but it does not include personal spending or personal equipment. A waterproof phone pouch can be useful if you want photos without risking your device.

Foam party, animation, and the mood onboard

The foam party and animation are central to the GONSTER experience. They turn the return sailing and the time between stops into an organized celebration rather than a simple boat ride.

You can expect a louder, more active atmosphere than on a small sightseeing vessel. Music, foam, and group activities appeal to people who want a fun day with plenty happening around them. Families, couples, and friend groups can all enjoy the format, though the best fit is someone who does not mind shared entertainment.

The atmosphere received particularly strong praise in the available feedback, along with the crew’s care. That combination matters on a large boat. Good organization and a friendly crew can make the difference between a crowded outing that feels chaotic and one that feels easy to follow.

Still, the party element is not optional in spirit. If your ideal Mediterranean day means reading quietly in the sun, you may prefer a smaller cruise. You can probably find calmer moments during the bay stops, but the overall experience is built around activity and group fun.

Who gets the best value from this boat trip

I would recommend this trip most strongly to people who want several coastal stops without paying for separate transport and meals. It works well for:

• Families looking for swimming, food, and entertainment in one day
• Friend groups who want a social boat outing and foam party
• First-time visitors who want to see several bays near Kemer
• People staying in Antalya who value an included hotel transfer
• Budget-conscious visitors who want a full-day activity for $28.66

I would be more cautious if you want a small group, a quiet deck, a private guide, or detailed cultural interpretation. The itinerary passes near Phaselis Bay, but the information provided does not describe a land visit to the ancient ruins. You should book this for the sea and the entertainment, not as a Phaselis archaeology tour.

The capacity of 250 is the clearest clue to the atmosphere. The boat is large and social. That makes it easier to meet the day with energy, but less suitable for anyone seeking privacy.

Timing, weather, and cancellation details

The tour runs for roughly 8 to 9 hours, including the Antalya to Kemer transfer, the sailing, the swimming stops, lunch, and the return trip. Plan to give it most of your day.

Good weather is required. If poor weather causes cancellation, you are offered another date or a full refund. The experience also requires a minimum number of participants, and if that minimum is not met, you are offered another date or experience, or a full refund.

You can cancel for a full refund up to 24 hours before the start time. Cancellations or changes made within 24 hours are not refunded or accepted, and the cut-off follows local time.

Should you book the GONSTER pirate boat trip?

Book it if you want a low-cost, all-in-one day at sea with four swimming areas, lunch, soft drinks, an organized transfer, and a foam party. The combination of Phaselis, Cennet Bay, Kiriş, and the pirate cave gives you a good variety of coastal scenery for the price.

Think twice if the long Antalya to Kemer transfer sounds tiring or if a boat carrying up to 250 people feels too busy. The strongest case for this trip is value and atmosphere, not silence or personal space. For families, groups, and anyone who enjoys a lively Mediterranean outing, GONSTER offers a practical way to see the Kemer coast without complicated planning.
