Kalkan Boat Trip — Quiet Coves, Clear Water, Easy Days

Kalkan is made for boat days.
From the harbor you can reach small, glassy bays; a little farther, Kekova adds a blue-and-history mix with the sunken city and Kaleköy castle. With Holitat, routes are calm, lunch is simple and good, and the timing fits your day.

How our boat days usually run

Start & finish: most trips leave around 10:00 and return 17:00–18:00.
Stops: 3–4 coves with plenty of swim time.
On board: shade, ladders, fresh water, masks/snorkels; lunch on board (veg options on request).
Formats: private boats for just your group, or small quiet shared trips.

Prefer a sunset cruise (2 hours) or a night swim/stargazing run? We arrange those too.

Routes we love

Kalkan Bays — close, calm, beautiful

Island view, deep blue water, short hops. Easy day for couples, friends, and families with kids.
Good to know: we tailor stops to the wind; flat entries can be arranged for little swimmers.

Kekova Day — blue water with a story

Sunken city, Kaleköy/Simena castle, glassy coves. Best with an early start for quiet water.
Options: short castle walk, kayak add-on, or a longer swim stop after lunch.

What to expect (and what to bring)

• Skippers we know and trust (safety-first, no loud megaphones)

• Honest timing—no “10 stops in 4 hours” rush

• Clean brief before you board: route, menu, what to pack

Bring: swim gear, towel, hat, reef-safe sunscreen, a light cover for the breeze. We’ll handle the rest.

Add-ons on request

• Kayak or SUP for a quiet cove

• Drone/photo set for a special day

• Birthday setup or simple celebration cake

• Transfer from your villa/hotel to the harbor and back

Why book with Holitat

Local to this coast, we match boat size and route to your group and the weather—no guesswork. If you’re staying via our roots at Kalkan/Kaş, we sync timings with check-in/out so your day stays smooth.

When to go

• Apr–Jun & Sep–Oct: best balance—clear water, mild heat, fewer boats.

• Jul–Aug: bright and busy—go private or start early; shade at noon.

• Winter: weather-dependent; ask for current options.
