Itinerary Overview
Morning tour: Setur Marina departure → Caretta Island / Sıcan Adası (sea turtle habitat, swim stop) → Lower Duden Waterfall (viewed from sea, swim beneath the cliff) → Return to Antalya Marina.
Sunset tour (16:00–20:00): Setur Marina departure → Caretta Island / Sıcan Adası (swim stop) → Çaltıcak Beach → Return to Antalya Marina.
The Duden waterfall is on the morning route only. Most visitors see it from the viewing platform on shore. On the morning charter, the boat anchors directly beneath the cliff face where the Lower Duden falls into the Mediterranean. Caretta Island (Sıcan Adası) is on both routes — loggerhead sea turtles use the surrounding shallows, and the water is calm enough for a long swim at anchor.
Overview
Private Boat Hire Antalya Marina — Duden Waterfall and Caretta Island by Sea
This private boat hire from Antalya Marina departs from Setur Marina in central Antalya and runs for 6 hours. The route takes you past the Lower Duden Waterfall — viewed from the sea rather than from the shore — then on to Caretta Island, where loggerhead sea turtles nest in the surrounding shallows. The boat is exclusively yours throughout: 1–8 people, no other passengers, no shared deck. A sunset departure is available (16:00–20:00). Lunch or dinner onboard is an optional add-on. From €600 per group. Pay on the day.
What to Bring
- Swimwear — multiple swimming stops at the waterfall cliff face, Caretta Island, and Waterfall Bay; you will spend significant time in the water
- Sunscreen and sunhat — 6 hours on open water; high-factor sunscreen is essential June through September
- Camera or fully charged phone — the waterfall drop into the sea is the most photogenic stop; Caretta Island and turtle sightings are worth capturing
- Light layer for cooler starts or evenings — morning departures can feel cool on the water for the first hour; sunset departures cool down after 18:00
- Seasickness medication if needed — the Antalya bay is generally calm but sea conditions can vary in spring and autumn
- Cash or card for any extras — confirm with the crew if there are any additional shore fees at stops
Is This Tour Right for You?
This tour suits you if:
- You are staying in central Antalya — Setur Marina is 15–20 minutes from most Lara, Konyaaltı, and city-centre hotels; no long transfer to Kemer required
- You want to see the Duden Waterfall from the sea — almost all visitors reach it by road and look down from the cliff; anchoring beneath the waterfall as it falls into the sea is a different experience
- Sea turtles are a priority — Caretta Island is a loggerhead nesting site; summer months offer the best chance of seeing turtles near the surface during a swim stop
- A sunset departure fits your day — 16:00–20:00 slot leaves your morning free; you are on the water during the best evening light
- Your group is 1–8 people — the per-group price works at any group size within that range
This tour may not suit you if:
- Phaselis ancient ruins are your main interest — the Antalya Marina route does not include Phaselis; the Kemer-based charters cover that coastline
- You need a capacity of more than 8 people — this boat takes up to 8; for groups of 9–15, other options are available
- You want a morning departure only — the confirmed slot for this charter is the sunset tour (16:00–20:00); confirm morning availability directly with the operator
Antalya Marina vs Kemer Marina: If you are staying in Lara, Konyaaltı, or central Antalya, departing from Setur Marina avoids the 40-minute transfer to Kemer. The routes are entirely different — Antalya Marina charters explore the Duden coastline and Caretta Island; Kemer charters head west to Phaselis and Paradise Bay. Both are private, both are eco-segment.
For the Kemer-based alternative, see the eco yacht charter from Kemer Marina. For a full overview of departure points and yacht options, see all private yacht rentals in Antalya. All Antalya Marina departures are listed under Antalya Marina yacht rentals.
