Description
The Marmaris Lazy Day Boat Trip (Soft Drinks Included)
If your perfect holiday day involves listening to the gentle lapping of waves, reading a good book in the sun, and taking quiet dips in the Mediterranean—without breaking the bank—the Lazy Day Boat Trip is exactly what you need.
A quick reality check: The name says it all. This excursion is the exact opposite of the loud, high-energy pirate ships or “booze cruises.” There are no foam parties, no aggressive entertainment teams, and the music is kept at a low, ambient volume. Furthermore, the “Soft Included” package means that while all your non-alcoholic drinks are free and unlimited, alcohol is not included in the ticket price and must be purchased separately at the onboard bar.
What to Expect
1. A Peaceful Departure Your morning starts with a transfer from your hotel to the Marmaris harbor. You will board a traditional, double-decker wooden cruiser. The lower deck provides ample shade and comfortable seating around tables, while the top deck is lined with sun loungers for those looking to work on their tan. Once everyone is settled, the boat sails out of the harbor at a gentle, relaxing pace.
2. The “Soft Included” Bar Throughout the entire day, you have unlimited access to the boat’s soft drinks package. This typically includes bottled water, cola, lemon-lime soda, orange juice, tea, and coffee. It is a fantastic option for families with children or travelers who do not drink alcohol, as you are not subsidizing an “open bar” price but can still stay fully hydrated under the hot Mediterranean sun.
3. Crystal Clear Swim Stops The captain will navigate through the stunning, pine-clad bays of the Marmaris Gulf, dropping anchor 3 or 4 times at the region’s most pristine swimming spots. You can expect 30-to-45-minute breaks at locations like:
-
Aquarium Bay: Famous for water so clear you can see straight to the seabed.
-
Amos Bay or Green Sea Bay: Quiet, secluded coves completely sheltered from the wind.
-
The Phosphorus Cave: A natural sea cave where the boat pauses for spectacular photos.
4. Lunch on the Water Around midday, the crew will fire up the grill at the back of the boat. A freshly prepared, classic holiday lunch is served, usually consisting of BBQ chicken, pasta, and fresh seasonal salads.
5. Exploring Turunç Village In the afternoon, the boat typically docks at the picturesque resort village of Turunç. You will have about an hour of free time to disembark. You can stroll along the beautiful Blue Flag beach, browse the quiet local shops, or sit in a waterfront cafe for an ice cream before the final, leisurely cruise back to Marmaris.
Key Highlights of the Tour
-
Maximum Relaxation: The entire atmosphere is geared toward unwinding, sleeping in the sun, and enjoying the natural scenery in peace.
-
Budget-Friendly: By omitting alcohol from the inclusive package, this tour is often significantly cheaper than the “Ultra All-Inclusive” boats, offering fantastic value for money.
