The Marmaris All-Inclusive Boat Trip
If you want a fantastic day of swimming, sunbathing, and socializing without having to worry about pulling out your wallet every time you want a cold beer, the standard All-Inclusive Boat Trip is the perfect middle ground. It perfectly bridges the gap between the quiet “Soft-Included” lazy days and the wild, chaotic “Ultra-All-Inclusive” booze cruises.
A quick reality check: In Marmaris, “All-Inclusive” on a standard boat trip refers specifically to local beverages. This means you will have unlimited access to draft beer (usually Efes), local table wines, and sometimes local spirits (like standard vodka or gin), alongside soft drinks. Imported premium brands, cocktails, and extras like ice cream or milkshakes are not included and cost extra. The vibe is upbeat, fun, and sociable, with music playing, but it doesn’t usually feature the extreme foam-party chaos of the massive pirate ships.
What to Expect
1. Setting Sail Your day begins with a morning pickup from your accommodation, taking you down to the bustling Marmaris harbor. You will board a classic double-decker wooden cruiser. The lower deck provides shaded seating and tables for dining, while the upper deck is lined with sun loungers. Once everyone is on board, the boat sets sail into the calm, stunning waters of the Marmaris gulf.
2. The All-Inclusive Bar As soon as the boat leaves the harbor, the bar opens. You can walk up at any time throughout the day to grab a cold draft beer, a glass of wine, or soft drinks to keep you refreshed while you sunbathe or socialize with other holidaymakers.
3. The Swim Stops The captain will navigate a beautiful coastal route, dropping anchor in 3 or 4 secluded bays where the water is incredibly clear. Standard 30-to-45-minute swimming breaks usually include:
-
Aquarium Bay: Famous for its pristine, transparent water that is perfect for snorkeling.
-
Green Sea Bay: A calm, sheltered cove surrounded by pine forests.
-
The Phosphorus Cave: A natural rock formation where the boat pauses so you can take photos and throw a coin in to make a wish.
4. The BBQ Lunch Around midday, the crew fires up the grill on the back deck. You will be served a freshly cooked, classic holiday lunch—typically consisting of BBQ chicken, pasta, and a fresh Mediterranean salad.
5. Free Time in Turunç Later in the afternoon, the boat will dock at the picturesque resort town of Turunç. You will have about an hour of free time to step off the boat and explore. You can browse the local boutique shops, walk along the Blue Flag beach, or sit in a shaded waterfront cafe before the boat makes its final, leisurely cruise back to Marmaris.
