About
Visit 4 stunning turquoise bays & Paradise Island on this fantastic 6 hour daily cruise from 10.30am-4.30pm includes a hot lunch & a vegetarian option is available. Siesta is a chill out boat with a mixture of background music but we don't play loud pumping rap music all day. We also have a 3 hour sunset dinner cruise which is cooler and very relaxing. Private events for any occasion and VIP tours available. contactable on What's App or Facebook 'Siesta Boat Altinkum'

A superb day out around the bays of Altinkum. The Siesta boat trip was a lovely way to break up the holiday we had in this area. It is always good to do something different from the usual pool days at the hotel etc.
Gabrielle and the team that run this boat are superb. They are very attentive and responsive on text. We arranged this booking through a recommendation from friends we had made by the pool at the LAUR hotel. We text Gabrielle directly and she was quick to respond, explaining the details of the day. We were told to be out side the hotel for 09:35 and we would be collected by minibus.
This was prompt and clean. We arrived at the marina within 5 mins and headed for the boat. The Siesta is a chilled boat, so don’t expect Turkish happy hardcore music for the duration. It’s not that type of trip.
As the name suggests, it’s chilled. Once on board we were welcomed by Gabrielle and her crew. Our beds were on the middle deck towards the front, so we had some in sun and some in shade depending on the direction of the boat. Having settled in and sorted out our towels, we waited for the boat to fill, then set off at 10:30.
We visited 5 bays through the day 2 shallow and 3 deeper. We swam, dived and had fun in the sea at each stop. The boat has a fresh water spray to wash yourself down after coming out of the water to remove the salt.
The boat has a bar for drinks and snacks, all of which are very reasonably priced considering your on a boat. The ticket price includes lunch which was a substantial plate of salad, pasta and chicken escalope. This was fine for lunch. There was plenty of bread too.
Each stop gives you 30 mins or so to swim etc. Through the day the boat was visited by an ice cream boat and a fun activity boat. The Ice cream boat sells fresh fruit and ice cream and the activities boat pulls you around the sea on various inflatables, should you wish.
Lunch is around 1pm and there are two stops after this before returning to the marina. We got back for just after 5pm. It was a great day on the sea and the boat along with the crew were excellent.
If your after something to do whilst in Altinkum, I would recommend this boat.
Gabrielle and her team were excellent, we did this trip twice as we enjoyed it that much.

Fantastic from start to end. Booking for party which included disabled guests. Gabi took time to arrange and plan before we arrived in Türkiye and made sure we were well informed. On arrival to boat few nights before were shown around and allowed to ask questions etc. No pressure to book, encouraging us to find the ‘right’ boat tour for our party. Went above and beyond when we booked to ensure accessible beds reserved. On day felt like greeting old friends, not ‘put on’ but genuine. Catered for all needs, plenty of equipment to support folk getting into water, good steps that went lower to prevent ‘climb’ back onto boat. Reserved lunch tables with delicious and filling meal. Reasonable priced drinks and snacks. All bays ‘quiet’ and felt less rushed or intense. Could not recommend more!

Amazing day out from pick up to docking, can not fault them. The boat is clean and tidy, price was exceptional for what you got. Staff were friendly and service was great. Lunch was plentiful and tasty. The stops in the various bays were fantastic, giving you enough time to swim and snorkel. Enough options for sun or shade. There are other boat tours, but imo this one is the best for families and older crowd. Highly recommend

Absolutely fantastic day out today. Gabi and her husband were so helpful, from messaging about our booking, to picking us up in the morning for our trip and all day too. Lovely family atmosphere on the boat, our 11 yr old LOVED this trip. Highly recommended 👌🏼

Best boat trip ever. Thanks again.

This was the highlight of our holiday. I went with my son and my mum and we all thoroughly enjoyed it. The boat was very well maintained and clean and the staff were all very attentive and friendly. They picked us up from our apartment, the food was good and it was all very organised. We stopped at some beautiful swim spots and the whole trip was very enjoyable and relaxing. I highly recommend this boat trip.

Was recommended by fellow guests staying at our hotel. Walked along the peer side informed day out was £10 per head, drink’s extra but very reasonable price 500 cl bottle of lager 85 TL.
On arrival today met by crew including English lady I had spoken to when enquiring, terrible with names but think it was Gabbie. Very friendly, genuine but at the same time professional.
Gabbie and her crew were very attentive throughout the day, stopped 4 times for over half an hour on each occasion. Clear blue sea very refreshing. Had loungers on top sun deck wonderful.
Nice lunch which was included in the price, chicken, pasta, bread and salad.
Ship very clean
Day was from 1015 until 1715
Recommend highly, contact Gabbie directly.
Thank you crew for a wonderful day

The Siesta Chill Out boat is AMAZING! You get on around 10am and back around 4pm so it’s a full day out! It’s about a tenner each which included a delicious lunch of tomato pasta, fried chicken, salad and fresh bread (they can also make food for vegetarians/ vegans and anyone with allergies/intolerances). The drinks and snacks were a really reasonable price, only a few pounds for a cocktail, and under a pound for soft drinks etc! I remember refrigerated bottles of water were 5 or 10 Lira (25 or 50p).
Unlike the other boats the siesta plays chilled music fairly quietly, so i could relax and listen to your own music when i wanted. I found the sun loungers very comfortable just remember to bring your own towels! There were spaces in the sun and the shade.
The owners were really friendly and attentive, Gabi is originally from England so it was really easy to communicate (no language barrier).
There is a male and female toilet, they are clean and just about big enough to change in if you forgot to put your swimming costume on before.
The views were gorgeous, they gave us plenty of time to swim around at each stop, and they provided some equipment like flippers that you can use in the water! The banana boats and ice cream boat came around a couple times during the day to offer trips (the banana boat is about £10 each and ice creams are a couple pounds).
This trip was the highlight of my families holiday.. in-fact we came back twice after the first trip! They also offer a sunset cruise, it doesn’t run every evening however the view is just spectacular and it’s so worth it if you can make it! I have nothing negative to say about the Siesta boat, it’s clean, comfy, relaxing, super affordable and the service is incredible!
