Kumköy yacht rental: the catalogue's lowest starting price, read line by line

What the €490 starting price covers

A low number only means something once you know what sits behind it, so here is the Kumköy yacht's included list exactly as it is recorded. The price is for the boat, not per person, and children count as guests within the 12. The live price for your date is on the Kumköy yacht's page.

• —The whole yacht for your group, up to 12 guests.
• —Captain and crew.
• —A round-trip hotel transfer from the Kumköy and Side area.
• —A freshly prepared lunch on board (the menu is not specified on our record).
• —Snorkelling gear on board.
• —About 7 hours from pickup to drop-off.

Not included, or not on record

Just as important is what you should not assume. None of these is hidden; they are simply not part of the programme, or not written down, and we would rather you knew before booking.

• —Drinks: not included. Alcoholic and soft drinks are both excluded, so ask us what to do about drinks when you book.
• —Named stops: there are none on record. The captain chooses the coves on the day.
• —The marina: the boat leaves from a marina near Kumköy, which our record does not name. The transfer takes you there, and the meeting details follow your confirmed booking.
• —Pickup time: confirmed after booking, not before.

A day without a fixed script

Some yacht days on this coast are built around a sight: the Düden waterfalls from Kundu, the Temple of Apollo from Side, the sea caves in Alanya. The Kumköy day is built around the water instead. The yacht runs along the coast to quiet coves the captain picks, you swim for as long as the group likes, lunch is served on deck, and the boat brings you back to Kumköy.

That makes it a good fit for groups who want to swim, snorkel and do very little else, and a weaker fit if you have set your heart on a particular landmark. If you want the temple and the old town from the sea, look at the Side motor yacht or the river boats in yacht hire in Side.

Kumköy beach hotels and Ilıca

Kumköy beach hotels. This is the area the included transfer is written for, together with Side. Name your hotel in the request and we confirm the pickup; that is all you need to do.

Ilıca. Ilıca is not named on the transfer record by itself, so tell us your hotel and we confirm whether it counts as the Kumköy and Side area before you book. If you would rather start on the river, the VIP boat from the Manavgat River lists Kumköy among the areas its optional transfer covers, at extra cost; boat rental on the Manavgat River explains that option.

Is the lowest starting price the right one for you?

It depends on what you would otherwise pay for. If your group is more than 12, the Kumköy yacht is out, and the Side motor yacht (up to 25) or the Manavgat gulet (up to about 50 people) take over. If drinks included matters, the Kundu Marina yachts include soft drinks, though they sail a different coast. If a transfer in the price matters, the Kumköy yacht is one of only three rentals here that has one. Yacht rental prices on the Antalya coast sets all seven inclusions side by side.

Booking works the same way as everywhere on this site: send the request from the yacht's page, the team confirms it, you pay in euros on the day, and cancellation is free up to 48 hours before the start.
