GONSTER : Luxury Pirate Boat Trip Lunch & Soft Drinks & Transfer

Pirate day, Mediterranean swims, and easy logistics. I really like the included lunch and soft drinks and the ship’s crew-led entertainment vibe (foam party plus animations). The main thing to consider is that the road time from Antalya to Kemer can stretch the day out, so plan for a long, full outing.

This is a classic Antalya-to-Kemer sea day on the GONSTER (formerly BİG KRAL), described as the biggest pirate boat in the area. Expect about 8 to 9 hours total, a mobile ticket, and an outing that runs only when weather behaves.

Key highlights worth knowing

• Big-ship energy: a lively day on the biggest pirate boat in Antalya
• All-in lunch plan: barbecue-style lunch plus soft drinks are included
• Multiple swim stops: Phaselis Bay, Cennet (Paradise) Bay, Kiriş Bay, plus pirate cave time
• Crew care: seating and sunbathing areas get organized once you’re aboard
• Foam party included: animations are part of the package, not an extra add-on
• Transfers included: air-conditioned round-trip transport between your hotel area and Kemer

Pirate Boat Trip From Antalya to Kemer: the real value

You’re paying for a full day that bundles the three things that usually add up on the Turkish Riviera: transport, a sea schedule, and food/soft drinks. At $28.66 per person, it’s priced like a budget-friendly group excursion, but with enough structure that you’re not scrambling for tickets, directions, or meals.

The ship itself is built for fun. It’s marketed as the biggest pirate boat in Antalya, and that matters because it usually means more activity onboard (and more people to share the energy with). The trade-off is that you shouldn’t expect a quiet, private feel.

If you care about a smooth day with minimal planning, this fits. If you hate crowds or want lots of downtime, you might find the group pace a bit “on.”

Price, timing, and why the day can feel long

This outing runs around 8 to 9 hours from start to finish, and the clock starts with pickup and the drive to Kemer. That road time is the one drawback that shows up in the feedback: the trip to Kemer can feel long.

Here’s how to use that information wisely. Treat it like a full-day plan, not a short hop to the water. I’d go into it with swim stuff ready and snacks on your mind (even though lunch is included, you’ll still want to feel comfortable before you’re fed).

If you like swimming stops and photo moments, the payoff comes from the schedule: you get more than one chance in the water, not just a quick “one swim and done” situation.

Air-conditioned transfers: one less headache in Antalya

The package includes both-way transfer in an air-conditioned vehicle. That’s a big practical win in Antalya, where traffic and finding the right meeting point can quietly ruin your day.

You also get the convenience of a pickup arrangement and a mobile ticket. I like this setup because it turns a “maybe I’ll figure it out” plan into a straightforward one.

One note: confirmation is received at booking time unless you book close to departure (within 8 hours). If you’re booking last-minute, assume you’ll get confirmation as soon as possible based on availability.

Boarding in Kemer: crew welcome and your on-board home base

Once you arrive in Kemer, you’re guided aboard and the crew helps you get settled—either into designated seating or onto a sunbathing area. That’s helpful on a big ship because it prevents that awkward early-day shuffle where you’re searching for space while everyone else is already moving.

After everyone is aboard, the day’s rhythm kicks in: the boat heads along the coastline toward the day’s first key photo moment (around 10:30) at the pirate cave area.

This is where the “pirate boat” theme starts to feel real. Even if you’re mostly there for the water, the theme is part of the fun, and it sets the tone for the next several hours of stops and activities.

Pirate cave photo time: quick, fun, and very visual

You’ll get a chance for memorable pictures around the pirate cave segment before the first swimming leg of the day. It’s a short moment on a big itinerary, but it’s the kind of stop that turns the whole trip into something you can actually share later.

Don’t overthink it. Bring what you need for photos, take a few minutes, and then focus on the swim schedule that comes right after.

If your group is split (some people want photos, others want water), this structure is good because it gives a clear shared moment before everyone breaks into “swim mode.”

Phaselis Bay swim stop: easy nature, good relaxing time

Next up is Phaselis Bay (Phaselis Koyu), described as a picture-style mix of tall green trees, soft sand, and blue sea. Your stop here lasts about 1.5 hours, which is enough time to choose your pace.

This is a great “breather” stop. The sea scenery tends to feel calm and natural, and the stop length means you can do the basics well: a swim, some sun time, and a few photos with the boat in the background.

One small drawback: if you’re the type who wants constant motion and never wants to wait, a 1.5-hour stop can feel like a lot of still time. But most people like at least one stretch of simple relaxing.

Cennet Bay (Paradise Bay): the barbecue lunch pairing

Your next swimming stop is Cennet Bay, often called Paradise Bay in English. It’s presented as less crowded and more focused on sea + nature, which is exactly what you want when you’re sharing the day with a larger group.

This is another 1.5-hour stop, giving you time to swim and enjoy the water. And here’s the practical genius of the schedule: while you’re enjoying the bay, the chefs are cooking your lunch.

That timing matters. It reduces that “we’re hungry but the meal isn’t ready yet” gap that can happen on boat trips. When you return to the ship after swimming, food is waiting, and you can eat without losing too much of the sea time.

Lunch is included, and soft drinks are part of the package too (Coke, Fanta, Sprite, water). Alcohol isn’t included, so if you’re into cocktails or beer, you should plan on paying extra onboard.

Kiriş Bay and the cave swim moment

After Cennet Bay, the tour heads to Kiriş Bay for a third swim stop. This one is known for turquoise waters, and the bay is part of a coastal protected area, so you get a sense that the scenery is meant to stay protected.

The stop here lasts about 1 hour, with some time framed around large rocks and a straightforward swim break. If you like the look of dramatic coastline shapes, this stop gives that rocky-bay texture.

Then comes the highlight that’s very “pirate story” themed: you get the chance to swim into the pirate cave during the final swim stop. That’s a special add-on compared to many simple coastal cruises. It’s also the most “active” part of the day, since you’re not just swimming in open water.

If you’re sensitive to water movement or visibility changes inside a cave-like swim spot, keep it practical: go slowly, hold your comfort zone, and enjoy the moment rather than forcing it.

Foam party and animations: where the fun gets louder

One of the most praised parts of this experience is the overall atmosphere—people describe it as good, with the crew taking care of everyone. That connects directly to what’s included: foam party and animations.

This isn’t a sightseeing-first trip. It’s meant to feel like a party at sea. You’ll have organized fun, and you should expect the vibe to get louder at times.

If you’re traveling with kids, it’s a strong fit because the included activities reduce the need to plan extra entertainment. If you’re traveling for quiet contemplation, you might want to position yourself on the ship so you can still enjoy the sea without feeling pushed into every activity.

Either way, the big advantage is that you don’t have to pay extra for the onboard energy.

What’s included (and what you’ll pay for separately)

Here’s the straightforward breakdown of what you get for the price:

Included

• Round-trip transfer in an air-conditioned vehicle
• Boat tour
• Foam party
• Animations
• Lunch
• Soft drinks (Coke, Fanta, Sprite, water)

Not included

• Alcoholic beverages
• Personal spending

That “no alcohol included” is common on tours like this, and it’s also part of why the price stays low. If you want alcohol, budget for it ahead of time so it doesn’t become an unpleasant surprise later.

The lunch and soft drinks inclusion is the main money-saver. In resort areas, basic meals and drinks can add up fast, especially if you’re trying to eat between swim stops. Here, those costs are baked in.

Group size and crowd expectations: plan around it

The cap is up to 250 travelers. That’s not a small group, and it will shape the feel of the day. On a big pirate boat, it usually means more noise, more movement, and less chance of solitude.

But it also means the ship can keep a party-like flow going. If that’s your kind of day—sea stops, food, photos, and organized fun—this size can work in your favor.

If you want personal space, you’ll need to choose where you sit or sunbathe and accept that you’ll be part of a shared experience.

The best fit: who should book this pirate boat day

This tour makes sense if you want:

• A simple, structured sea day from Antalya without planning transport
• Swimming at multiple bays plus a cave-themed moment
• Included food and soft drinks
• Entertainment with foam party and animations

It may be less ideal if you:

• Need a calm, quiet atmosphere
• Dislike busy schedules and want long stops
• Can’t handle a longer day with road time to Kemer

For couples, it can work well if you’re okay with shared group energy and want a fun “one day” experience. For families, it’s often easier because activities are included.

For solo travelers, it’s also a good pick when you’d rather join a scene than design your own.

Should you book GONSTER for your Antalya pirate day?

I’d book this if you want a good-value group tour with real structure: transfer taken care of, set sea stops, and lunch plus soft drinks included. The included entertainment is a bonus, and the crew-led care is a big part of why people rate it highly.

I’d think twice if your top priority is quiet nature time. The ship and included foam party bring noise and group energy, and the group size cap (up to 250) means it won’t feel private.

Also, take the timing seriously. If you hate long drives or early-to-late schedules, this might feel like too much. But if you can treat it as a full-day outing, the mix of bays and the pirate cave swim moment make it more than just a boat ride.

If you’re booking, check the weather since the experience requires good conditions. Then pack for swimming and plan to enjoy the day as a party-at-sea style excursion.
