Boat trips from Kemer Marina

Almost every boat trip in Kemer starts here. Boats leave in the morning, usually between 9:00 and 10:00, and are back by 16:00–17:00. Most tours include a hotel pick-up, and the guide walks you onto the pier.

The classics are the pirate boat to the bays with swim stops and a foam party, a gulet to Paradise Bay and the ruins of Phaselis, and a long day out to Suluada island. Group trips start at roughly €20–25 per adult; the price swings with the season and with lunch, drinks and transfers.

Touts on the pier will sell you a seat, but it's easier to compare in advance. Ask how many swim stops there are, whether lunch and drinks are included, and how many people the boat takes — the big pirate ships can feel packed.

What is Kemer Marina?

It's a yacht marina, not a ferry or cruise port. Private yachts and wooden gulets moor here, and all of Kemer's excursion boats leave from here. Cruise ships and ferries use Antalya's port instead, an hour up the coast.

The state tourism company Turban built the marina in the mid-1980s, when Kemer was being turned from a village into a resort; it opened in 1985. It later passed to a private operator and now trades as Kemer Türkiz Marina. For sailors it's also an official port of entry into Turkey, with customs and passport control.

Things to do at Kemer Marina

  • Walk the quay past rows of yachts and gulets, with forested mountains and Mount Tahtalı behind the masts.
  • Photograph the little green lighthouse at the end of the breakwater — the classic Kemer shot.
  • Watch the morning bustle as the pirate ships, all flags and fake cannons, load up for the day.
  • Have a drink or dinner on the waterfront as the lights come on.
  • Catch the evening glow on the peaks: the harbour faces east, so the sun drops behind the range and the summits stay pink for a while.
  • Carry on along the shore to Moonlight Beach and park.

Is Kemer Marina worth visiting?

Yes, if you're staying in Kemer or nearby: it's free, five minutes from the centre and at its best on an evening stroll. It's a pleasant half hour rather than a sight in its own right, so don't travel across the region just for it.

If your hotel is far out, you'll end up here anyway on the day of your boat trip. Morning and evening are the times to come — at midday there's little shade and the light is harsh.

Restaurants and cafés by the marina

The waterfront is lined with cafés, bars and seafood restaurants looking straight at the yachts. You're paying for the view: these are the priciest tables in Kemer.

For a cheaper meal, walk two or three streets inland towards the Clock Tower, then come back to the water for a drink after dark. In high season there's live music in the bars around the marina until late.

More tips

  1. From Antalya: take the dolmuş from Antalya bus station (otogar) to Kemer — lines TA07 and TA08, about an hour. Get off at Kemer bus station by the D400 road.
  2. From the bus station, walk about 10 minutes into town to the Clock Tower on Republic Square (Cumhuriyet Meydanı).
  3. From the Clock Tower, head downhill to the sea through the shopping streets — 5–10 minutes; you'll see the masts from far off.
  4. Staying in Göynük, Beldibi or Tekirova? Take a local dolmuş into the centre — several local lines start at the marina.
  5. On a boat trip with transfer, the guide collects you from your hotel and takes you to the boat.

How to do it right

  • Come before 8:00 for photos without crowds, or after sunset for the lights on the water.
  • Compare boat trips by the number of swim stops, not just the price.
  • The tables right by the yachts are Kemer's priciest — eat a couple of streets back, then return for a drink.
  • Pair the marina with the Clock Tower square and a walk to Moonlight Beach — it's all within a few minutes.
  • If you're in Kemer for the sea rather than the town, there's no need to come separately — you'll be here on boat-trip day.

Questions

Is Kemer Marina free to visit?

Yes. The quayside, cafés and excursion-boat pier are open to everyone at any hour. Only the private yacht pontoons are gated.

Where do boat trips in Kemer leave from?

From Kemer Marina in the town centre. Boats usually leave at 9:00–10:00 and return around 16:00–17:00; most tours include hotel pick-up.

How much is a boat trip from Kemer Marina?

Group trips start at roughly €20–25 per adult. The price depends on the season and on whether lunch, drinks and transfers are included.

Is the Kemer pirate boat trip worth it?

It's fun for families and groups who want swim stops and a party on board. If you want quiet bays, choose a smaller gulet or a private boat instead.

How do I get to Kemer Marina from Antalya?

Take dolmuş TA07 or TA08 from Antalya bus station to Kemer bus station, about an hour. Then it's a 10-minute walk to the Clock Tower and 5–10 more to the sea.

How far is Kemer Marina from the Clock Tower?

A 5–10-minute walk downhill through the shopping streets of the centre.

Are there restaurants at Kemer Marina?

Yes — cafés, bars and seafood restaurants line the waterfront. They're the most expensive in town; cheaper places are a couple of streets inland.

Can you see the sunset from Kemer Marina?

Not over the sea: the harbour faces east, so the sun sets behind the mountains. You get a pink glow on the peaks instead; sunrise is over the water.

Is Kemer Marina the same as Antalya port?

No. Cruise ships and ferries use Antalya's port, an hour away. Kemer Marina only takes yachts and excursion boats.

How we checkedThere's no entry fee to the marina — every guide and listing agrees. Boat-trip prices and times come from tour operators' listings on 30.10.2026 and are marked “verifying”, as they change with the season. The 1985 opening and Turban's role come from Setur Marinas' history and the manager's interview in Coast Guide TR. Berth numbers differ from 200 to 320 between pilot guides, so we show the range with sources. We couldn't reliably confirm whether the breakwater is open to walk to the lighthouse, so we don't promise it. Dolmuş lines are from Wikivoyage and marked “verifying”.
