Where to Go When You Rent a Yacht in Kemer?

Located in the west of Antalya, Kemer is one of Turkey's most popular yacht tourism centers, not only with its nightlife and luxury hotels but also with its unique bays waiting to be discovered by sea. If you have set aside a day to charter a boat, a fairy tale where history and nature intertwine awaits you. Here are the stops you should add to your route:

1. Starting Point: Moonlight Bay

When you depart from Kemer G Marina, the first stop that usually welcomes you is Moonlight Bay. This crescent-shaped bay, right on the coast of Kemer center, is famous for its crystal-clear water.

Experience: A swimming break here in the early morning provides great energy for the rest of the day. The shallow and waveless structure of the sea offers a safe swimming area, especially for families with children. Having your breakfast on your yacht accompanied by this view will be one of the unforgettable moments of your holiday.

2. Address of Tranquility: Kiris Bay

When you leave Moonlight and glide towards the south, Kiris Bay, where steep slopes descend vertically to the sea and is sheltered from the wind, appears before you.

Activity: This is one of the points with the highest underwater visibility. You should definitely bring a snorkel with you. Watching the colorful schools of fish swimming around the rocky areas on the shore feels like swimming in a natural aquarium. Kiris is the perfect place to get away from the crowd and find peace in the salty water of the Mediterranean.

3. Where History Spills into the Sea: Phaselis Ancient City

Undoubtedly the most exciting and important stop of the Kemer route is Phaselis. Dating back to the 7th century BC, this ancient city gives you a magnificent welcome when approaching from the sea.

Details: Phaselis has three separate harbors: North, Central, and South harbors. Private yachts usually anchor in the south harbor. This is a place where the shade of giant pine trees falls on the sea, and the ancient theater and aqueducts rise right on the shore.
Why Go? You can visit the ancient city by boat or swimming from your yacht, and then leave yourself to the turquoise waters in the shadow of thousands-of-years-old columns. Phaselis is not just a bay, but a living history museum.

4. A Hidden Oasis: Paradise Bay (Alacasu)

For those who want to get away from the crowd of Phaselis, the very next stop is Paradise Bay. The very limited access by road makes this place special for sailors.

Scenery: In this bay, also known as Alacasu, the majestic view of the Bey Mountains rises right behind your boat. The sea is so clear here that you can even count the sand grains meters deep. This bay is usually preferred for a lunch break.

5. Mystery and Adventure: Pirates Cave

One of the most fun and photogenic stops on the route is the Pirates Cave. According to legend, this cave, where pirates hid their booty and hid with their small boats in ancient times, is a favorite of yacht enthusiasts today. The color of the water inside the cave turns into a phosphorescent blue with light plays.

What You Need to Know When Chartering a Yacht in Kemer

The Kemer route is more focused on "nature and history" compared to Antalya center. Spending a day on this route gains you:

• Isolated Holiday: The privilege of going to bays where there is no land access with a boat just for you.
• Photo Spots: Phaselis and Paradise Bay create a unique background for your Instagram and social media content.
• Comfortable Transportation: With motor yachts or sailboats you rent via Limancepte, you can complete this route in the most luxurious conditions.
