Side Relaxing Boat Trip — A Quiet Day on the Mediterranean with a Sunbed for Everyone
The Experience
Seventy euros is a good deal more than the party boats along this coast ask, so it is worth knowing what the difference buys. Space, mostly. Fewer guests aboard, a sunbed reserved in your name so nobody claims a spot at dawn, and no sound system working the deck all afternoon. It also buys the bar. Lunch is a fresh open buffet served on board, and the drinks, soft and alcoholic alike, are in the fare rather than on a tab — which is where a cheaper day at sea usually catches up with you. The route runs through the prettiest water near Side: the mouth where the Manavgat River meets the sea, then out past Dolphin Island and into the sheltered Caretta Caretta bays. The crew anchors for unhurried swim stops and how many there are depends on the sea that morning, because we would rather move an anchorage than let you roll about in it. Around seven hours in total, hotel transfers included. Who should not book it? Anyone travelling with children who want foam and games — they will be bored, and we run louder boats for them. Couples and solo travellers who want to read, swim and sleep are exactly who this was built for. From €70 a head, settled on the day of the tour. Bring a towel, sunscreen, sunglasses and a hat; the crew handles the rest.
