Island Hopping on a Private Yacht from Antalya

An Antalya yacht charter island hopping trip is really a coast-and-island trip: the one true island within reach is Suluada, the small white-sand island west of Adrasan often called the Turkish Maldives. A two-day charter from Kemer Marina reaches it via the bays of Phaselis and Adrasan; a week adds Kekova and its sunken city in the far west.

Why island hop by yacht from Antalya

Island hopping in Antalya Turkey is different from an archipelago: the coast west of the city is a chain of bays under the Taurus Mountains, with Suluada as the prize at the end and Kekova far beyond it. Starting from Kemer Marina, about 45 km west of the city, shortens the passage so the yacht spends more time at anchor than under way. Antalya's airport twenty minutes from Setur Antalya Marina makes a short two- or three-day charter practical, and the crew handles every passage and anchorage.

What makes Antalya special for an island tour by yacht

  • Suluada, the white-sand island west of Adrasan, is the Turkish Maldives of this coast and reached on longer charters.
  • Phaselis has three swimming bays around an ancient harbour, a natural first stop on the way west.
  • Kekova with its sunken city lies about 100 nautical miles west and is reserved for charters of five to seven days.

Island hopping conditions on the Antalya coast

Suluada is exposed enough that the skipper chooses the day and the anchorage according to conditions; May to October is the reliable window, and mornings are usually calmer than afternoons for the crossing from Adrasan. The bays from Phaselis to Adrasan are sheltered by the mountains and make comfortable overnight stops. Kekova needs a week because of the distance, and shorter charters should not plan for it. Starting from Kemer Marina rather than the city saves passage time, and transfers from Antalya Airport to Kemer are straightforward.

Booking FAQ

Can we reach Suluada on a day trip from Antalya?

It is a long day from Kemer Marina and not practical from the city. We recommend at least two days with a night off Adrasan, so you arrive at Suluada in calm morning conditions and have proper time there.

How many days are needed to include Kekova?

Five to seven days. Kekova and Kaş lie about 100 nautical miles west of Antalya, and the sunken city is only worthwhile with time at anchor. Shorter charters concentrate on Phaselis, Adrasan and Suluada.

What is included on a crewed island hopping charter?

The skipper is always included, and multi-day yachts carry a cook. Meals, drinks and fuel are agreed per yacht in advance. Snorkelling gear is usually on board; we confirm the details for each yacht we propose.
