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

The best part of the GONSTER pirate boat trip is the mix of scenery and easy holiday fun. You spend the day cruising the Kemer coast, stopping at Phaselis Bay, Cennet Bay, Kiriş Bay, and a pirate cave, with plenty of time for swimming between each stop.

I like the round-trip hotel transfer from Antalya, since getting to Kemer on your own can add hassle. I also like the simple all-in price: lunch, soft drinks, a foam party, and onboard entertainment are covered. The main drawback is the long day and potentially large crowd, with up to 250 people on the boat.

• Four water stops: Swim at Phaselis Bay, Cennet Bay, Kiriş Bay, and the pirate cave.
• Antalya to Kemer transfer: An air-conditioned minibus takes you from your hotel to the harbor and back.
• Lunch included: A barbecue-style meal is prepared during the Cennet Bay stop.
• Party atmosphere: Expect a foam party and animations rather than a quiet sailing trip.
• Soft drinks included: Coke, Fanta, Sprite, and water are covered. Alcohol costs extra.
• Good value at $28.66: The price includes transport, the boat ride, food, and entertainment.

A Full Mediterranean Day From Antalya to Kemer

This is an eight to nine-hour outing, built for people who want to see the coast without arranging transport, meals, and boat tickets separately. Your day begins with a pickup in Antalya, followed by an approximately one-hour ride to Kemer in an air-conditioned minibus.

The transfer is useful, but it is also the first thing to weigh up. Kemer is not next door to Antalya, so the ride takes time before you even reach the water. One person who enjoyed the atmosphere and food still found the journey to Kemer long. I would plan for this as a full-day commitment, not a quick boat ride squeezed between other plans.

At $28.66 per person, the package is priced as a budget-friendly day excursion. You are paying for the transfer, boat trip, lunch, soft drinks, swimming stops, foam party, and animations in one amount. That makes the value strong if you plan to use the whole day and want a social boat experience.

The word luxury deserves a little caution. The boat is presented as a large pirate ship, formerly called BİG KRAL, but the available details do not describe private seating, premium cabins, or a quiet luxury service. Think of the experience as a large themed day boat with included food and entertainment.

Boarding GONSTER at Kemer Harbor

When you reach Kemer, the captain and crew direct you to your seating or sunbathing area. Once everyone is aboard, the ship heads along the coast toward the first photo stop, the pirate cave.

The boat itself is part of the attraction. Its pirate theme gives the day a playful feel, and the ship provides a good backdrop for photographs at the bays. If you prefer smaller boats and a calm, personal atmosphere, the possible capacity of 250 people matters. If you enjoy music, organized entertainment, and meeting plenty of people, that same size can make the day more lively.

The first cave visit is scheduled for around 10:30. This initial stop is mainly for photographs before the boat continues toward Phaselis Bay. Later, the cave returns as a swimming stop, so the two visits have different purposes.

You should bring the usual boat-day basics, including swimwear and anything you need for a long time in the sun. The package covers water and soft drinks, but personal spending is not included, and alcoholic drinks cost extra.

Phaselis Bay: Green Hills and a Long Swim Stop

Phaselis Bay is the first main swimming stop, with about an hour and a half in the area. The setting combines wooded slopes, pale sand, and clear blue water, giving you one of the more scenic pauses of the day.

This is a good place to choose your own pace. You can swim, sunbathe, or take photographs of the pirate ship from the shore or water. The long stop gives you more breathing room than a quick dip beside the boat, though the exact experience depends on how crowded the bay is when you arrive.

Phaselis is also the point where the trip feels most connected to the natural coast. You are not simply staying on deck for a scenic ride. You get time to leave your seat, cool off, and enjoy the setting before lunch and the party activities take over.

If you are not a confident swimmer, remember that the day is centered on several swimming stops. The information provided does not specify the availability of flotation equipment or detailed water-access arrangements, so ask the crew directly if you need help in the water.

Cennet Bay and the Barbecue Lunch

The next stop is Cennet Bay, also called Paradise Bay. The appeal here is the quieter natural setting, with the sea and surrounding scenery taking the lead rather than built-up facilities.

While you swim, the chefs prepare a barbecue lunch on board. After the water stop, you return to the ship for the meal. This timing works well: you have a chance to build an appetite before sitting down to eat.

Lunch is one of the strongest practical features of the package. On a long boat day, buying food separately can be inconvenient, and returning to shore for a meal would break up the route. Here, the meal is built into the schedule and the price.

The details do not provide a full menu, so you should not book this expecting a choice of several dishes or a gourmet meal. It is best understood as a straightforward barbecue lunch that keeps the day moving.

Soft drinks included in the package are Coke, Fanta, Sprite, and water. Alcoholic beverages are not included, and personal purchases are extra. If you want anything beyond those drinks, bring a payment method and allow room in your budget.

Kiriş Bay and the Protected Coast

Kiriş Bay is the third swimming stop. The water is described as turquoise, and the bay is part of the Coastal National Parks, giving the area a more protected natural setting.

Large rocks frame the bay, making this a pleasant spot for a shorter swim break and photographs. Compared with the longer Phaselis and Cennet stops, Kiriş is more of a later-day pause. You get another chance to cool off without spending too long in one place.

The sequence of bays is one reason this trip offers reasonable value. You are not paying for one scenic anchorage and a long wait. The boat keeps moving along the Kemer coast, giving you several different views and water stops in one day.

Still, the repeated swimming format will not suit everyone. If you want museums, ruins, guided history, or time walking through towns, this trip offers little of that. Phaselis is named as a destination, but the schedule centers on the bay, swimming, sunbathing, and photographs rather than a detailed archaeological visit.

The Pirate Cave’s Second Appearance

After Kiriş Bay, the ship returns to the pirate cave for the final swimming stop. This time, you can swim into the cave itself, adding a small sense of adventure to the end of the route.

The cave is a memorable change from open-water swimming. It also gives the pirate theme more purpose than simply decorating the boat. Conditions can affect how easy it is to enter, so follow the crew’s directions and do not force the swim if the sea is rough.

The first cave visit is timed for pictures, while the final visit is intended for swimming. That repeated stop may feel slightly familiar, but it gives you a second chance to enjoy the cave in a different way.

By this stage, the day has already included several hours on the water. The final stop is useful for people who want one more swim, but anyone feeling tired can treat it as a relaxed viewing stop rather than trying to do every activity.

Foam Party, Animations, and the Mood On Board

This is not a silent sightseeing cruise. The boat includes a foam party and animations, so the atmosphere is designed around music, group participation, and holiday entertainment.

I would choose this trip if you like an organized party at sea and want more than a simple transport boat. The foam party gives the middle or later part of the day a clear burst of energy, while the animations help keep the large group involved.

If you are seeking peace and quiet, this is the main point to consider before booking. The large boat, the entertainment program, and the possible 250-person capacity suggest a busy social setting. You may still find quiet moments while the boat is cruising or during a swim stop, but the experience is not built as a private escape.

Families and mixed-age groups can find the format convenient because food, drinks, swimming, and entertainment are all in one package. The boat also suits couples and friends who would rather join a ready-made day than plan a private charter. People wanting a romantic sail or a small-group trip should compare other options first.

How the $28.66 Price Holds Up

The price is one of the clearest reasons to consider this excursion. For $28.66, you receive both-way transport from Antalya, the boat trip, lunch, soft drinks, a foam party, and animations.

A separate transfer to Kemer, a boat ticket, lunch, and drinks could easily make an independently arranged day less convenient and possibly more expensive. The included minibus also removes the need to work out how to reach the harbor and return to your hotel.

The price does not cover alcohol or personal spending. It also does not promise a private seat, premium service, or a small group. You are buying access to a full, organized day rather than exclusivity.

The 4.5 rating from 39 submitted ratings supports the idea that the experience generally delivers what it promises. The most useful positive detail is practical: the atmosphere, crew care, and food earned strong praise. At the same time, the long Antalya to Kemer transfer is a fair warning for anyone who dislikes early starts or extended road time.

Who Should Book This Pirate Boat Trip?

I would recommend GONSTER to you if you want:

• A low-cost full-day outing from Antalya
• Several opportunities to swim in scenic bays
• Lunch and soft drinks included
• A fun, social setting with a foam party
• A simple hotel pickup and return
• A themed boat that works well for photographs

I would think twice if you want a quiet yacht ride, a small group, a detailed tour of ancient sites, or a short excursion. The day is long, the transfer takes time, and the boat may carry a very large group.

The tour is also weather-dependent. If poor weather forces cancellation, you are offered another date or a full refund. If the minimum number of people is not reached, you receive the same type of choice. For a full refund in normal circumstances, cancel at least 24 hours before the start time. Cancellations within 24 hours are not refunded, and changes inside that window are not accepted.

Is GONSTER Worth Booking?

Book it if you want a good-value day on the Mediterranean with transport, swimming, lunch, drinks, and party entertainment handled for you. The route gives you more than one pretty bay, and the pirate cave adds a fun feature that breaks up the standard swim-stop pattern.

Skip it if you dislike large group outings or find a one-hour road transfer each way too much for a boat day. The strongest reason to book is the complete package at $28.66. The strongest reason to hesitate is the scale and pace.

For most people who want an affordable, active day from Antalya, GONSTER is a sensible choice. Go expecting a big themed boat, not a private luxury cruise, and you will have a clearer idea of what you are paying for.
