Description
Private Kekova Boat Tour – Ayla Boat
Overview
Ayla Boat is a private day boat operating in the Kekova region, offering a calm and personal way to explore one of Turkey’s most iconic coastlines. This experience is designed for travelers who value privacy, flexibility, and unspoiled nature rather than crowded boat trips.
Kekova is known for its turquoise waters, quiet bays, and ancient Lycian heritage. Sailing with Ayla Boat allows you to experience the area at a comfortable pace, with time to swim, relax, and enjoy the scenery without fixed schedules or large groups.
The Experience
The tour begins from the Kekova coastline and follows a scenic route through calm Mediterranean waters. One of the highlights is cruising over the Sunken City of Kekova, where partially submerged ruins can be seen clearly from the boat. As this area is protected, swimming is not permitted here, helping preserve its archaeological value.
Throughout the day, the boat anchors at selected swimming spots with crystal-clear water. These bays are ideal for swimming, sunbathing, or simply enjoying the silence of the surrounding landscape. The exact route may vary depending on sea conditions and guest preferences, keeping the experience flexible and natural.
Ayla Boat is suitable for private groups of up to 7 guests, offering a comfortable and uncrowded atmosphere on board. Shaded seating areas and open deck space provide comfort throughout the journey.
Lunch Option (Optional)
Lunch is optional and can be arranged upon request.
If guests choose to have lunch on board, the cost is USD 20 per person, payable in cash directly to the captain on the boat. This allows flexibility for guests who prefer to decide on the day of the tour.

5We had a fantastic boat trip with interesting stops and explanations. We especially enjoyed stopping to walk to Simena castle and a refreshing swim afterwards between the fish.
Highly recommended!
