The Elifim Yacht Tour lasts approximately 4 hours, during which you get to visit all the prominent places in Alanya Peninsula by sea. The prominent places include Alanya Harbor, the Old Shipyard, the Red Tower, the coast where Alanya Castle is situated, the three famous caves – Pirates Cave, Lovers Cave, and Phosphorus Cave – a swim stop near the famous Cleopatra Beach with its golden sand and crystal-clear waters, and finally a swim in the open waters of the Mediterranean Sea (if you’re lucky enough to spot the dolphins playing in the waters). 

Elifim Yacht Tour is a completely private boat tour, which means you have the entire boat to yourselves, not to mention the captain and the crew. There are no other people to be found on the boat other than the crew and the people you have come with. This is a completely private boat tour where you can swim at the places you like (depending upon the weather conditions), and the best part is you get to have the entire boat to yourselves – a perfect option for families or couples or groups of friends seeking a completely private boat tour.

The price of the tour includes the renting of a yacht and crew, fuel, and a 4-hour cruise, as well as all the inclusions such as lunch or dinner on board (grilled chicken, meatballs, salads, pasta, fruits, and so on), and unlimited soft drinks on board for the entire duration of your trip. The standard equipment, such as snorkeling gear, fishing lines, a paddle board, towels, and so on, are also part of the package. Hotel pick-up and drop-off within Alanya are also part of the package, so you can just sit back and enjoy your day out on the water without any worries about any additional costs on board.

Yes, hotel transfers are included for this tour, and you can enjoy complimentary hotel transfers from Alanya and most areas around it, such as Mahmutlar, Kestel, Oba, Konakli, Avsallar, and so on. When you book your tour, you just need to enter your hotel details, and on the day of your tour, you can rest assured that an air-conditioned vehicle will pick you up from your hotel and drop you off at your hotel after your tour on a luxurious yacht. If you are staying outside this area, for example, in Side or Belek, we can arrange a transfer for you, but this will incur an extra cost, so please let us know.

Yes, you can bring your own alcohol, beer, wine, or spirits, if you want to have drinks while you are on the yacht. However, please note that Elifim charges a 20 Euro service charge for any alcohol you want to bring on board. This is paid to the captain of the boat when you board, and it covers the cost of serving and cleaning up after any alcohol you bring on board. However, you can also request us to bring any of your favorite drinks, but it will cost extra, so you can bring your own if you want to. Soft drinks, water, tea, and coffee are already included for free.

There are usually 2-3 swim stops in beautiful places along the way. Of course, this can be a little flexible, with at least one in an area such as Cleopatra Beach, and another in the area of the caves or in the open sea, depending on the weather conditions. At all of these places, you have the opportunity to snorkel and swim. We have snorkeling gear on board, and you are welcome to use it while on the tour to see what is going on underwater, as the waters in the area of the Phosphorus Cave are quite clear and you can see fish swimming in the water. If you have special wishes, such as wanting to do more swimming and less cruising, just ask the captain, as this is a private tour and can be arranged as you wish. Snorkeling is definitely one of the best parts of the tour, as the Mediterranean Sea is quite clear in this area, and you can see lots of fish in the waters of Alanya bays.

Come prepared for a day in the sun and sea. It is a good idea to wear swimwear beneath your clothes and bring a towel along. Although we have some available on the yacht, it is always a good idea to have one of your own. It is also a good idea to bring some cash along in case you need to tip the crew or purchase extras such as ice cream or water sports at one of the destinations. The yacht also has a music system; therefore, you can bring along a playlist on your phone. Finally, in case you are planning on drinking some alcohol on the trip, it is a good idea to bring along your drink of choice so you can enjoy it on the cruise.

Oh, absolutely. This tour is very family-friendly, in fact. Elifim is one of our top choices for families with kids. The yacht is relatively small, and the staff is very friendly. The ambiance on a private yacht is much more relaxed and secure for kids than on a public boat. Kids love the adventure of cruising on the sea, exploring the “pirate” caves, and swimming at designated swim stops (kids' life jackets are provided on board, by the way!). The staff on board is very accommodating, especially when kids are on board. They pay extra attention to kids and are very flexible. If you want, you could even have them stop at a snorkeling spot where kids could see some fish. There is a cabin on board where you could let the kids take a snooze, too. There is lunch included in the tour, and kids could have chicken nuggets or meatballs if you want, too

Absolutely! A private yacht tour is a great way to celebrate a birthday, anniversary, proposal, and other special events. If you are celebrating a special event, kindly notify us during the booking process and we can arrange for a birthday cake, balloons, banners, and even a bouquet at an additional charge. We also have some guests who prefer a sunset cruise as it is a romantic experience and perfect for proposals and anniversaries. We also toast champagne during this tour. Our crew is also experienced and knowledgeable of how to execute a surprise event on the yacht. We can also customize the tour as per your requirements. For example, we can drop anchor at a specific place for a longer time to surprise your partner during a romantic event.

It is easy to book a tour with us. We can be booked through our website and WhatsApp. We require a small deposit of around 20% of the total amount to book a tour with us. This can be settled through a credit card transaction, bank transfer, and even cash pickup at a convenient place for you. On the day of the tour, we require the remaining amount to be settled through cash in any of the currencies such as Euro, USD, Pound, and Turkish Lira. We require a deposit to ensure the yacht is reserved exclusively for you. We also offer a refundable deposit policy as per the cancellation policy. We require a minimum of 48 hours of prior notice for a complete refund of the amount. We also request guests to book a tour a few days prior to the event as summer is a peak tourist season and private yacht hire is a popular activity during this time.
