Holiday & Leisure
An Antalya yacht charter swimming trip is a full day built around the water rather than the route. From Kemer Marina the yacht reaches the three small Kemer bays within minutes for the first swim, continues along the Bey Mountains to the three swimming bays of Phaselis, and spends the afternoon moving between them before returning.
Swim stops from a yacht in Antalya reach water the beaches cannot: the bays of Phaselis are backed by an ancient harbour city and the Kemer coves sit under the mountains with no road access to the best of them. Starting from Kemer Marina, about 45 km west of the city, cuts the passage so more of the eight hours is spent in the water. Snorkelling gear is usually on board and the skipper picks anchorages by the day's conditions. The city, hotels and airport remain close for the evening.

Duration
The sea is comfortable for long swims from late May to October, with September often the best month: warm water, fewer boats at Phaselis and softer afternoon heat. In July and August the crew schedules the longest swims before noon and after three and keeps the deck shaded between them. The bays west of Kemer are protected by the mountains, so visibility and calm water are the norm. Morning departures from Kemer Marina reach Phaselis before the day boats, which makes a real difference to how the bays feel.
Booking FAQ
Most yachts carry masks, snorkels and fins for guests, and some have paddleboards. We confirm the equipment for each yacht we propose. Bringing your own mask is worthwhile if you have a preferred fit.
August and September have the warmest sea on the Antalya coast, with September combining warm water and quieter bays. June and July are also good; late May and October are pleasant for most swimmers.
From Kemer Marina, four or five: one or two in the Kemer bays and all three Phaselis bays. From Setur Antalya Marina on the city route, two or three longer stops fit into six hours.
