A trip aboard the GONSTER, Antalya’s largest pirate-themed boat, promises a full day of adventure filled with scenic views, swimming stops in breathtaking bays, lively entertainment, and a tasty barbecue. With an average booking window of 11 days in advance and a price around $28.66 per person, this tour packs quite a punch for its affordability. The roughly 8 to 9 hours it takes offers enough time to enjoy multiple stops, good food, and plenty of fun, all while being hassle-free thanks to included round-trip transfers.
What really makes this experience stand out are two features: the stunning scenery and the lively atmosphere created by friendly guides and entertaining activities. You’ll love the way the crew keeps the energy high — think foam parties and animation — and how the scenery continuously changes along the coastline, with stops at photogenic spots like Phaselis Bay and the mysterious pirate cave. On the flip side, the slightly long journey from Antalya might be a consideration if you’re short on time or prefer shorter excursions. But if you’re in Kemer or nearby, this cruise offers an authentic, lively, and well-organized day at sea.
Key Points:
– Vastly scenic coastline with multiple swimming stops in crystal-clear bays.
– All-inclusive experience: lunch, soft drinks, foam party, entertainment, and transfers.
– Family-friendly adventure with lively animations and photo opportunities.
– Excellent value for the price, given the variety of activities and scenic stops.
– Comfortable transportation from Antalya hotels makes logistics simple.
– Informative crew, with reviewers praising the captain and staff for their attentive service.
A detailed look at the GONSTER Pirate Boat Experience

How the experience begins: convenient transfers and a lively atmosphere
From the moment I read about this trip, I appreciated how it starts with round-trip transportation from Antalya to Kemer, included in the price. This means no stress about navigating or parking — just relax in an air-conditioned minibus and arrive refreshed. The tour is designed for up to 250 travelers, so it’s lively but not overcrowded. Onboard, the atmosphere is casual and fun, with animations and a foam party that keeps energy high from start to finish.
The crew, including the captain, feels approachable and attentive, creating a welcoming environment. A reviewer named Richard G. remarked on the “good atmosphere” and how well the crew looked after everyone, making it clear that friendly service is a highlight. The journey from Antalya to Kemer itself is described as “long”, but most found it acceptable given the scenic views and anticipation of the day ahead.

The itinerary: Stops that showcase natural beauty and history
Once aboard, your adventure begins with a gentle cruise along the coastline, heading towards the first highlight — the pirate cave. This spot is perfect for photos, and you’ll want to have your camera ready for the stunning cliff formations and hidden grottoes. The cease at the pirate cave isn’t just for a quick snap; it immerses you in the pirate theme, sparking imaginations of treasure hunts past.
The first swimming stop is Phaselis Bay, a shimmering cove with soft white sands and lush greenery. This stop lasts about 90 minutes, giving ample time to swim, sunbathe, or explore. The light, warm waters draw many reviewers, with one describing it as “a fairy-tale setting.” You’ll appreciate the laid-back vibe, ideal for unwinding amid natural beauty.
Next is Cennet Bay, or Paradise Bay, renowned for its serene environment and pristine waters. It’s another swim-focused stop where your appetite will likely build, especially since lunch — a barbecue — is cooked fresh on the boat. Many travelers, like Richard G., found the food “good,” and the relaxed setting makes it a true escape from the crowds.
The third swim takes place at Kiri Bay, part of the Coastal National Parks, notable for its striking turquoise waters. Enclosed by large rocks, it’s a picturesque place for a quick dip. The final stop is the pirate cave again, but this time you get the chance to swim into the cave itself, fueling the afternoon’s sense of adventure and imagination.
Activities: From swimming to lively entertainment
Throughout the day, you’re encouraged to participate in animations and foam parties, which make the trip particularly engaging for families and groups of friends. The foam party, in particular, gets guests laughing and dancing, adding a lively, party atmosphere to the otherwise relaxing experience.
A major plus here is the all-inclusive approach — soft drinks like Coke, Fanta, Sprite, and water are available throughout, keeping everyone hydrated. Alcohol isn’t included, which helps keep the atmosphere family-friendly and safe, but you can bring your own if you wish.
Food and beverages: a barbecue feast on the water
One of the highlights is the barbecue lunch served on board, prepared by the crew during the Cennet Bay stop. Several reviewers, including those who noted the delicious food and tapas, found the meal satisfying and quite hearty for a cruise of this length. The quality of the food, combined with the relaxed environment, makes it a standout feature of the tour.
The return: a smooth end to a busy day
After about an hour back to Kemer, the transfers take you comfortably back to your hotel or accommodation. Most reviewers appreciate how straightforward and hassle-free it is to end the day, leaving you with a head full of wonderful memories and plenty of photos.
