GONSTER : Luxury Pirate Boat Trip Lunch & Soft Drinks & Transfer

Pirate ships still know how to find the best coves. GONSTER, formerly called BİG KRAL, turns a full day on the Kemer coast into a lively boat outing, with round-trip transport from Antalya, lunch, soft drinks, swim stops, music, animation, and a foam party. I like the simple all-in price, and I like the mix of quiet bays with playful onboard entertainment. The main catch is the long road transfer between Antalya and Kemer.

I also like that the day is not just a boat ride with one swim break. You get Phaselis Bay, Cennet Bay, Kiriş Bay, and the pirate cave, each offering a different setting. Still, the ship can carry up to 250 people, so this is a social, energetic excursion rather than a peaceful private cruise.

Key points at a glance

• A full Antalya to Kemer day: Plan on roughly 8 to 9 hours, including the air-conditioned minibus ride in both directions.
• Four water stops: The route includes the pirate cave, Phaselis Bay, Cennet Bay, and Kiriş Bay.
• Lunch and soft drinks included: The package covers a cooked lunch plus Coke, Fanta, Sprite, and water.
• A lively onboard program: The foam party and animations make this a good match for families, groups, and anyone who likes music and activity.
• A large pirate ship: GONSTER can carry up to 250 people, which helps explain the busy, communal atmosphere.
• Good value at $28.66: Transport, boat access, food, drinks, and entertainment are bundled into one price, though alcohol and personal purchases cost extra.

The long ride from Antalya to Kemer

Your day begins with hotel or apartment pickup in Antalya in an air-conditioned minibus. The road portion takes about an hour each way according to the schedule, so the transfer is useful but not a minor detail. One of the clearest cautions about this outing is that the journey to Kemer can feel long before the boat portion even begins.

That said, the transfer removes a major planning chore. You do not need to arrange your own route to the harbor, find parking, or work out how to return after a full day in the sun. For $28.66, that convenience matters.

The tour is usually booked about 11 days ahead, so it is wise to reserve early if your holiday dates are fixed. You receive a mobile ticket, and pickup is offered. Confirmation is normally issued at booking, although reservations made within eight hours of departure are confirmed as soon as possible, subject to availability.

Boarding GONSTER in Kemer

Once you reach Kemer, you board GONSTER, the large pirate-themed boat formerly known as BİG KRAL. The captain and crew direct you to your seating or sunbathing area, then the boat leaves the harbor for the coast.

The pirate styling gives the outing a playful identity, but the real attraction is the route. You spend the day moving between coves and open water instead of sitting in one place. The boat itself is designed for a large group, with enough room for organized seating, sunbathing, meals, and entertainment.

A ship with a capacity of up to 250 people will not feel intimate. If you want a quiet sail with only a few other passengers, this is the wrong format. If you enjoy a shared holiday atmosphere, music, group activities, and easy social energy, the size is part of the appeal.

The first stop is the pirate cave, reached at about 10:30 in the stated schedule. The initial visit is mainly for photographs, giving you a chance to frame the ship, sea, and cave together. Later in the day, the boat returns here for a swim stop, including the chance to swim into the cave itself.

Phaselis Bay: your first long swim stop

After the photo stop, GONSTER heads to Phaselis Bay. The bay is described as an ancient coastal setting where green trees and pale sand meet clear blue water. It is the first substantial break of the day and lasts about an hour and a half.

This is your best chance to settle into the rhythm of the trip. You can swim, sunbathe, or simply enjoy the view from the boat. The long stop gives you more time than a quick ten-minute dip, which is important on a full-day cruise. You are not rushed back aboard just as you get comfortable in the water.

The setting also works well for photographs. The pirate ship provides a natural backdrop, so you can take pictures before the boat moves on. Keep in mind that the stop is built around free time, not a guided visit to the ancient site. The attraction here is the bay itself, the water, trees, sand, and the view of GONSTER offshore.

If you prefer active sightseeing from morning to evening, this pause may feel slow. I see it as a useful break, especially because the day includes several more stops and a return road trip. Bring a practical attitude: this is a swimming and sunbathing stop, not a detailed cultural tour.

Cennet Bay and lunch on board

Cennet Bay, also called Paradise Bay, is the next major stop. The appeal is its natural setting and quieter feel. The schedule presents it as a place with fewer crowds, calm sea sounds, and clear water for another swim.

While you are in the water, the kitchen prepares lunch. That timing is convenient because you can return to the boat ready to eat instead of losing time at a separate restaurant. Lunch is included in the price, and soft drinks include Coke, Fanta, Sprite, and water.

The meal is described as a barbecue lunch. Exact dishes are not listed, so you should not book this expecting a particular menu or special dietary arrangement. Still, the basic value is strong: you get a cooked meal during a long day at sea, rather than needing to buy lunch separately.

One of the strongest points in the available feedback is the food. The overall rating is 4.5 out of 5 from 39 reviews, and the praise highlights both the meal and the crew’s care. That is useful because food can be an afterthought on budget boat trips. Here, it is one of the parts that helps the price make sense.

The drink package is generous for a soft-drink option, but alcoholic drinks are not included. You will need to budget separately for alcohol and any personal purchases. Since the tour does not list unlimited quantities or a special drinks menu, treat the included beverages as the stated soft drinks and water rather than assuming a full bar service.

Kiriş Bay and the final cave swim

The third listed swim stop is Kiriş Bay. Its turquoise water and large surrounding rocks give it a different look from the sandy feel of Phaselis Bay. The bay is part of the Coastal National Parks, so the stop carries a stronger sense of protected natural scenery.

The break is shorter than the one at Phaselis and Cennet. You get time for a swim and a look around, but the schedule is designed to keep the route moving. This variety is one of the outing’s strengths. You are not seeing the same type of cove again and again.

After Kiriş, the boat returns to the pirate cave for the final swim. This second visit is more than a photo stop. You can swim toward and into the cave, which gives the pirate theme its most convincing moment of the day.

The cave swim also comes with a practical point: conditions on the water and inside a cave can change, and the experience depends on the day’s weather and sea conditions. The operator states that the trip requires good weather. If poor weather cancels the outing, you are offered another date or a full refund.

Foam party, animation, and the mood on board

The foam party is a major part of the GONSTER identity. It shifts the tone from scenic cruise to open-air party, with animation and group entertainment during the day.

I would not book this boat expecting quiet background music and long stretches of silence. The program is made for participation and fun. Families with older children, groups of friends, and people who enjoy holiday activities should find the format appealing. If you are looking for a calm boat with no organized entertainment, the foam party may be the part you like least.

The available feedback gives the crew particular credit for creating a good atmosphere and looking after people well. That is worth emphasizing. On a large boat, friendly organization matters. Clear directions, help with seating, and a welcoming crew can make the difference between a fun group outing and a chaotic one.

The word luxury in the product name should be viewed carefully. You get a large themed boat, included transport, lunch, drinks, and entertainment. You should not read it as a private yacht or an exclusive cruise. The value comes from the number of inclusions, not from privacy.

What the $28.66 price really covers

At $28.66 per person, the price is low for an 8 to 9 hour outing that includes transport from Antalya, a boat trip, lunch, soft drinks, several swim stops, a foam party, and animation.

To judge the value fairly, separate the inclusions from the style. You are paying for a shared group experience with up to 250 people. You are not paying for a private boat, a quiet deck, or a tailored meal. If you want a simple way to spend a full day on the Kemer coast, the bundle is hard to dismiss.

The included round-trip minibus is especially useful. A self-arranged day would require transport to Kemer, access to a harbor, food, drinks, and some form of boat booking. Here, those pieces are handled together.

The strongest value points are:

• Air-conditioned transport from Antalya and back
• A full day on the water
• Four named coastal stops
• Barbecue lunch
• Coke, Fanta, Sprite, and water
• Foam party and animation
• No separate boat admission charge

Alcohol and personal spending are extra. Also remember that the long transfer reduces the amount of time you spend actually cruising. Even so, the price remains well suited to a budget holiday.

Who should book this pirate boat trip?

I would point this excursion toward you if you want a lively, low-cost day with little planning. It suits families, friend groups, and anyone who likes to combine swimming, food, music, and coastal scenery in one outing.

It is also a good choice if your base is Antalya but you want to see the Kemer coastline without organizing independent transport. The hotel pickup and return transfer simplify the day.

You may want another kind of boat trip if you value privacy, silence, fine dining, or a flexible schedule. The large capacity and organized entertainment mean that the day follows a set pattern. You will have time at each stop, but not the freedom to stay longer in your favorite bay.

Most people can participate, but the experience is built around boarding a boat, spending time in the sun, and getting in and out of the water. Anyone with personal mobility or swimming concerns should consider the demands of a full day at sea before booking.

Booking, cancellation, and weather notes

Free cancellation is available if you cancel at least 24 hours before the start time. Cancellations or changes made within 24 hours are not refunded or accepted.

The trip can be canceled if the weather is poor or if the minimum number of participants is not reached. In either case, you are offered a different date or experience, or a full refund. Since the tour relies on sea conditions, keeping some flexibility in your schedule is sensible.

The provider is Book From Locals. The experience is confirmed at booking in normal circumstances, while bookings made within eight hours of departure depend on availability and receive confirmation as soon as possible.

Should you book GONSTER?

Book it if you want maximum activity for a modest price. The combination of Antalya pickup, Kemer coastal scenery, lunch, soft drinks, four water stops, and a foam party gives you plenty for one day.

Skip it if you want a small, quiet, private cruise. The transfer can feel long, and a ship carrying up to 250 people will naturally feel busy.

For the right person, this is a practical holiday outing rather than a refined yacht experience. The crew, food, price, and range of swim stops are its strongest cards. Pack for sun, expect a lively group setting, and choose it as an easy way to spend a full day on the Mediterranean.
