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

The main draw here is simple: you get a full day on the Mediterranean without having to arrange transport, lunch, or several separate stops. The GONSTER, formerly known as BİG KRAL, carries you from Kemer to a pirate cave, Phaselis Bay, Cennet Bay, and Kiriş Bay, with plenty of time for swimming.

I like the round-trip minibus transfer from Antalya and the fact that lunch, soft drinks, and entertainment are covered in the price. The crew also earns credit for creating a good atmosphere and looking after people well. The catch is the long road between Antalya and Kemer, and a boat that can hold up to 250 people will not feel intimate.

Key points at a glance

• Four swimming and photo areas: Visit the pirate cave, Phaselis Bay, Cennet Bay, and Kiriş Bay during one long day.
• Transfers save planning time: Air-conditioned transport takes you from Antalya to Kemer and back.
• Lunch and soft drinks included: Coke, Fanta, Sprite, and water are part of the package.
• Party atmosphere onboard: Expect a foam party, animation, and a lively crew rather than a quiet sailing trip.
• A large boat with a large crowd: The maximum group size is 250, so space and atmosphere depend on the day.
• Good value at $28.66: The price covers transport, the cruise, food, drinks, and activities, but not alcohol.

A full Mediterranean day from Antalya to Kemer

This is best understood as a long coastal outing, not a private yacht cruise. Your day begins with collection from Antalya and a ride to Kemer in an air-conditioned minibus. The drive takes about an hour according to the planned schedule, though the road time is the part most likely to test your patience.

That transfer is still useful. Kemer is the departure point, and arranging your own ride from Antalya would add cost and one more thing to manage. If you are staying in Antalya and want a boat day without renting a car, the included transport gives this trip much of its value.

The whole experience lasts around 8 to 9 hours. That sounds generous because it is. You get a proper day at sea, but you also need to be comfortable with a set schedule, a big boat, and several hours of transport and organized entertainment.

Boarding the GONSTER in Kemer

At Kemer harbor, the captain and crew direct you to your seating or sunbathing area. Once everyone is aboard, the ship follows the coast toward the first photo stop, the pirate cave.

The boat is the star of the day. Its pirate theme gives the trip a playful feel, especially for families and groups who want more than a plain sightseeing ferry. It is not the right choice if you are looking for silence, privacy, or a small-group sailing experience.

The capacity can reach 250 people. That matters in practical terms. You may have a lively atmosphere, easy access to onboard activities, and plenty of company, but you should not expect a quiet corner or personal service throughout the day. The upside is that the crew has room to offer a full program with food, music or animation, and a foam party.

The pirate cave and the first sea views

The first planned highlight is the mysterious pirate cave, reached at about 10:30. The initial stop is mainly for photographs around the cave and the ship. Later, the boat returns to the cave for a final swimming opportunity, when you can swim into it.

This two-part visit gives the cave more purpose than a quick pass along the coast. On the first approach, you can get your camera ready and photograph the GONSTER against the rocky shore. At the end of the day, you have a chance to enter the cave from the water.

The experience depends on sea and weather conditions. The tour requires good weather, so rough conditions can change or cancel the outing. If the cave or a swimming stop cannot be used as planned, the crew’s exact arrangement may vary. You should treat the schedule as a guide rather than a promise of minute-by-minute timing.

Phaselis Bay: the longest early swim stop

Phaselis Bay is the first major swimming stop and lasts about one and a half hours. Tall trees, pale sand, and clear blue water give the bay a calm, scenic setting. From the boat, you can swim, sunbathe, and take pictures with the pirate ship behind you.

This is one of the more valuable parts of the day because you get enough time to do more than step into the water and climb straight back out. An hour and a half lets you swim at an easy pace, sit in the sun, and enjoy the setting without feeling rushed.

You should bring anything you need for comfort during the swim period, since the information provided does not specify beach equipment or personal towel service. The key point is that this is a boat-based stop. The tour description focuses on swimming and sunbathing, not a guided visit ashore or a detailed exploration of ancient Phaselis.

That distinction matters. If you want to see the ruins of Phaselis, this cruise may give you a scenic view of the bay but not the same experience as a land visit to the archaeological site. If your priority is a swim in a beautiful cove, the stop fits well.

Cennet Bay and lunch on the water

The next stop is Cennet Bay, also called Paradise Bay. The name sets a high bar, but the appeal is clear: a quieter natural setting, open water, and another chance to swim away from the main resort streets.

While you enjoy the bay, the cooks prepare a barbecue lunch. You then return to the boat for the meal. Lunch is included, which is useful on an all-day outing. You do not have to find a restaurant, carry a packed meal, or cut a swim short to eat.

Soft drinks are also included. The package lists Coke, Fanta, Sprite, and water. Alcoholic drinks are not included, so budget separately if you want them. Personal spending is also extra.

The lunch is a practical part of the package rather than a reason to book the cruise on its own. One published rating is 4.5 from 39 reviews, and the strongest positive feedback points to the food, the atmosphere, and the way the crew looks after people. That gives you a useful expectation: the meal is a welcome feature, but the overall day is about the coast and the onboard fun.

Kiriş Bay and the return to the cave

Kiriş is the third swimming stop. Its turquoise water and large rocks create a different setting from the sandy feel of Phaselis Bay. The area is part of coastal national parks, so the stop offers a chance to enjoy a protected natural setting from the water.

The planned break is shorter than the Phaselis stop. That makes sense for a day with several locations, but it also means you may need to choose between swimming, taking photographs, and simply relaxing. If you prefer long, unhurried time in one bay, the schedule may feel busy.

After Kiriş, the boat returns to the pirate cave for the final swim stop. This is the most distinctive part of the route. You can enter the cave from the sea, bringing the pirate theme into the actual experience instead of leaving it as decoration on the boat.

Swimming ability matters here. The information confirms that most people can participate, but it does not give details about water depth, safety equipment, or access arrangements at the cave. If you are not a confident swimmer, you should ask the crew about the conditions before leaving the boat.

Foam party, animation, and the mood onboard

The GONSTER is designed for a social day. The package includes a foam party and animation, so you can expect activity between the swimming stops rather than a quiet cruise with only coastal views.

I like this setup for families, groups of friends, and anyone who wants a cheerful day at sea without having to create their own entertainment. The crew’s role is not limited to steering the boat. They help maintain the atmosphere and keep the long day moving.

The same feature will not suit everyone. If you are hoping to read, nap, or listen to the sea in peace, the foam party and animation may feel intrusive. A boat carrying up to 250 people naturally creates more noise and movement than a small charter.

You can treat the day as a mix of sightseeing, swimming, lunch, and a party. That is the honest description. It is not a nature-only excursion, and it is not a luxury yacht charter in the private sense of the word. The word luxury in the tour name points more to the themed boat and included package than to personal space or high-end service.

What the $28.66 price really covers

At $28.66 per person, this is a strong package price if you use most of the included features. You receive transport from Antalya to Kemer and back, the boat trip, lunch, soft drinks, the foam party, and onboard animation.

The value comes from bundling the basics. Transport alone would otherwise require planning. Food and drinks add up on a full-day excursion. The cruise also gives you access to several bays and a cave in one outing rather than asking you to organize separate visits.

There are limits. The low price does not include alcoholic drinks or personal purchases. It also does not turn a large group boat into a private experience. If you value quiet, exclusive service, or flexible timing, you may prefer paying more for a smaller cruise.

For a budget-conscious day from Antalya, though, the price is easy to understand. You are paying for a broad, active program with transport included. The more swimming and entertainment you want, the better the value becomes.

Who should book this cruise

I would recommend this outing to you if you want a straightforward day at sea with the main details handled for you. It is particularly suited to:

• Families looking for swimming, food, and a playful pirate theme
• Groups of friends who enjoy a foam party and onboard animation
• Visitors staying in Antalya who do not want to arrange transport to Kemer
• Budget-conscious visitors who want several coastal stops for one price
• People who prefer an active day with repeated chances to enter the water

You may want to choose another type of boat trip if you want privacy, a quiet atmosphere, or a detailed archaeological visit at Phaselis. The road from Antalya to Kemer is also worth considering. One positive account specifically praised the crew, atmosphere, and food, but noted that the trip to Kemer felt long.

That is a fair warning. The sea portion is the heart of the outing, but your day includes the journey there and back. Bring patience for the transfer and expect a full schedule once you reach the harbor.

Practical details before you reserve

The tour is offered with hotel pickup and a mobile ticket. Confirmation is normally provided at booking, though bookings made within 8 hours of departure are confirmed as soon as possible and remain subject to availability.

Most people can take part. The maximum group size is 250, so the experience may be crowded on a busy day. The trip also depends on good weather. If poor conditions force cancellation, you can receive a different date or a full refund. The same applies if the minimum number of participants is not reached.

Cancellation is free up to 24 hours before the start time. Cancel within 24 hours, and the payment is not refunded. Changes made inside that window are not accepted, so check your plans before booking.

Pack for a day around water and sun, and keep your expectations focused on a shared boat experience. The tour includes the main essentials, but personal spending, alcohol, and any extras are your responsibility.

My verdict on the GONSTER pirate boat trip

Book this tour if you want good-value access to several coastal bays, included transport, a meal, soft drinks, and a lively party atmosphere. The combination of Phaselis, Cennet Bay, Kiriş, and the pirate cave gives the day variety, while the included minibus removes much of the planning work.

Think twice if you want a peaceful or intimate sailing trip. The long Antalya to Kemer transfer and a possible group of up to 250 people are the main trade-offs. For the right mood, this is a cheerful, affordable way to spend a full day on the Mediterranean, with enough swimming and scenery to balance the foam party.
