Kemer Mega Star Boat Trip With Hotel Transfer and Lunch

Kemer’s coastline is made for a boat day. This 7-hour trip with hotel pickup turns a morning on land into multiple Mediterranean swim stops. You’ll sail from Kemer Marina and spend time at Phaselis Koyu, Paradise Bay, and Kiris—exactly the kind of day where your biggest decision is when to jump in.

I also like that the day is built for comfort and momentum. You get lunch included (chicken, pasta, salad) and a full-on foam party later, with an English-speaking crew keeping things moving.

One consideration: lunch is included, but it’s not described as gourmet, and drinks are not included—so plan on extra costs if you want beverages all day.

Key highlights at a glance

• Hotel transfer from Kemer means less logistics and more time for the sea
• Phaselis Koyu swim time with that famous clear-water look
• Two additional bay breaks (Paradise Bay and Kiris) to keep the day fun and varied
• Lunch is part of the package so you’re not hungry between swims
• Foam party onboard adds a playful, party-style finish
• Maximum size up to 250 keeps it lively, not quiet

How the Mega Star trip works from Kemer

This is a straight-up day cruise: morning pickup in the Kemer area, a ride to the port, a full day on the water, then a return transfer back to your hotel. The timing is set so you’re on the boat at the start of the day rather than waiting around in the afternoon heat.

Start time is 9:30 am, and the total duration runs about 7 hours. You’ll get a mobile ticket, and you’ll receive confirmation at booking. The tour is capped at up to 250 people, which matters because it shapes the vibe: you should expect a friendly, busy energy rather than a small, quiet sailing experience.

Also note the meeting detail for pickup. Many hotels in the area have high privacy rules, so you’re told to meet at the main entrance gate, not the reception. That one detail can save you from stress—and it’s worth taking seriously when you’re trying to make the morning pickup on time.

Stop 1: Kemer pickup and port transfer (the easy start)

The day begins with pickup from your hotel in the Kemer region. In practice, this is where the “value” part kicks in: you’re not paying for separate taxis, and you’re not doing a self-booked scramble to reach the marina.

Once you’re collected, you’re transferred to the port with roughly 30 minutes allocated at the start. That doesn’t sound like long, but it’s the kind of buffer that keeps the day from falling apart if you’re dealing with a hotel shuttle situation or a group pickup.

If you’re staying close to the center, this portion may feel quick. If you’re farther out, it may feel more like part of your travel day. Either way, the key is simple: show up at the correct pickup spot (main entrance gate) so the staff can find you fast.

Stop 2: Kemer Marina and getting settled onboard

After pickup, the group heads to Kemer Marina. This stop is listed as about 30 minutes, so think of it as your “board and orient” window.

This is also when you’ll notice the boat’s overall style. It’s set up as an all-day experience with an entertainment-friendly atmosphere. You’re not just paying for transport across the water; you’re signing up for a schedule of swims, food, and on-board fun.

If you’re the type who likes to be comfortable early, arrive at this stage ready to settle in. Bring what you need for swimming immediately so you aren’t scrambling during the first anchoring.

Stop 3: Phaselis Koyu swim break (when the water steals the show)

The first big anchor stop is Phaselis Koyu. This is where you get about 1 hour 30 minutes—enough time to actually enjoy the water instead of doing a quick dip.

This bay is described as famous for turquoise waters and lush vegetation, and the effect is exactly what you’d hope for on a boat trip: vivid color, scenic shorelines, and a place that feels made for photos and swimming at the same time.

Here’s how to make this stop work for you:

• Bring your swim gear early, not “later.”
• Plan for sunscreen reapplication if you stay out longer than you think.
• If you snorkel, this kind of calmer bay time is often your best moment of the day.

One more practical note: you’ll be switching from motion (boat travel) to stationary swimming time. It’s smart to give yourself a minute when you first step into the water if you’re sensitive to waves.

Stop 4: Paradise Bay near Tekirova (second swim, different mood)

Next up is Tekirova, with a swimming break at Paradise Bay. This stop is shorter than Phaselis—about 1 hour—but it’s a good structure: one longer “main swim” and then a second chance to cool off.

I like this pacing because it prevents the day from becoming repetitive. Phaselis gives you the longer scenic swim session, and then Paradise Bay adds variety without dragging your schedule.

If you’re traveling with kids or a group of mixed swimmers, this stop length can be a sweet spot. It lets everyone refresh and resets the day before the food-and-party segment.

If you’re planning to snorkel again, you might get better results during the more relaxed anchoring moments like this—just remember that water conditions can vary on any given day.

Stop 5: Kiris lunch plus foam party (the most fun block)

This is the heart of the experience. In Kiris, you get a longer stop—about 2 hours—and the schedule finally becomes: eat, relax, then play.

Lunch included (but keep expectations realistic)

Lunch is included with a simple menu: chicken, pasta, salad. In my mind, that’s the right kind of onboard meal: filling enough to keep you going, easy to handle with sea-time logistics, and not trying to be fancy.

There’s also one small reality check from how people describe the food: lunch is generally fine, but it’s not always a highlight. So if you’re picky about meals, you might want to treat the lunch as basic fuel and not a restaurant experience.

Drinks are not included

A key detail: drinks aren’t included. If you want soda, juice, or other beverages, you should expect to pay extra. This matters for your overall value math—especially on a hot day when you’ll actually want to drink.

Foam party and onboard entertainment

After lunch, it’s party time: a foam party with music and an on-boat vibe that’s clearly aimed at making this stop memorable. If you’re traveling with kids, this is one of the biggest reasons to choose the trip. The crew is said to organize activities to entertain children during the foam party segment.

There’s also an option some passengers mention: VIP seating is offered. The fact that you can choose to sit differently tells you this boat is designed for both casual lounging and more comfortable views depending on how you want to spend the day.

Stop 6 and 7: Returning to Kemer and getting back to your hotel

After the final onboard segment, you head back toward Kemer. The return includes a port stage labeled about 1 hour for getting back and taking care of the transfer process.

Then you do the last short drop-off back at your hotel—listed as about 30 minutes. This structure is helpful: it gives you a predictable end to the day instead of a vague “sometime in the afternoon” situation.

You’ll finish back near where you started the activity (the meeting point is the marina area), but the real win is that you don’t have to figure out your own transportation home from the port. You just get put back into the Kemer area and sent on your way.

Value for $20: what you’re really paying for

At $20 per person, this tour is priced like a budget-friendly day that bundles the big expenses together. Here’s what you’re getting for the money:

• Hotel pickup and drop-off in Kemer
• An English-speaking crew
• Lunch included (chicken, pasta, salad)
• Multiple swimming stops at scenic bays
• Foam party as a built-in activity

What you’re not getting is equally important:

• Drinks aren’t included
• You’re also not buying a private, quiet charter experience (the group can be large)

In other words, the price makes sense if your goal is a fun, active day on the water with food and entertainment handled. If you only want the scenery and plan to skip the party side, you may still have a good time—just go in expecting a lively boat mood, not a slow, silent sunset sail.

Who this boat trip suits best

This trip fits best if you want a full-day sea experience without planning every piece yourself. I’d especially recommend it if:

• You’re staying in Kemer and want an easy hotel-transfer option
• You like swimming in multiple bays during one trip
• You’ll enjoy a music-and-foam party atmosphere
• You’re traveling with kids and want structured onboard activities

If you’re after a small-group vibe, or you’re very picky about meal quality, you might find it better to compare against a more premium private charter. But for most people, this feels like a straightforward, high-energy use of one vacation day.

Tips to make your day smoother

A few practical moves can level up your experience:

• Meet at the main entrance gate, not reception. It’s the one instruction that’s easy to ignore and costly when you’re trying to catch the pickup.
• Bring a swim-ready plan: sunscreen, towel, water shoes if you like them, and anything you need to dry off quickly.
• Since drinks aren’t included, decide ahead of time whether you want to buy beverages onboard. It’s easier to budget that way.
• If you’re offered different seating, think about whether you want shade or a clearer view. Some people prefer a lay-down spot for comfort.

Also, keep your day flexible in your head. This kind of trip depends on weather. If conditions aren’t right, the experience may be moved or refunded instead.

Should you book the Kemer Mega Star boat trip?

I’d book it if your goal is a fun, no-stress boat day with swims, lunch, and an onboard foam party. The combination of hotel transfer, multiple bay stops, and included lunch at this price makes it a good deal for many vacation styles.

I’d skip it—or at least compare options—if you want calm, private sailing or if you strongly care about food quality and included drinks. Since drinks are extra and lunch is described as decent rather than standout, your expectations should match what’s being offered.
