Quick answer
An honest operator's guide to evening boat trips around Side, Manavgat and Antalya. Our main after-dark option is the Side disco-yacht night tour; there is no dedicated sunset cruise. Compare day and evening trips, then check live availability on our tours page.
The best evening boat trip we run in the Antalya region is the Side disco-yacht night tour from EUR68, a party boat with music and dancing after dark. We do not sell a dedicated "sunset cruise" — most sea trips sail by day. To see what departs in the evening right now, compare everything on our boat trips page.
What we honestly run after dark
We are the operator, so we will be straight with you. Around Side, Manavgat, Antalya, Alanya, Belek and Kemer we run a full programme of daytime shared and private boats, and one purpose-built evening trip: the disco-yacht night tour. If you have read about a "sunset cruise" elsewhere, that is usually marketing language wrapped around a standard sea trip. We would rather point you to the real thing.
The Side disco-yacht night tour (from EUR68) is our after-dark boat: music, dancing and an evening atmosphere on the water. It is the trip to book if you want to be on a boat once the sun is low rather than at midday.
Why there is no dedicated "sunset cruise" in our line-up
Sea trips here are built around swimming stops, and swimming works best in daylight when the water is warm and the light is good. That is why our sea boats — the pirate trips, the dolphin island tour and the Suluada island trips — run in the daytime. Rather than dress a day boat up as a sunset product, we keep the honest option clear: for the evening, book the disco-yacht; for swimming and daytime scenery, book a day trip.
If your real goal is calm water and low light, a private hire lets you set your own timing far more than any fixed shared departure can.
Day trips vs evening trips at a glance
Here is the plain comparison. Day trips are about swimming, scenery and family time; the evening trip is about atmosphere, music and being out on the water after dark.
| Feature | Day boat trips | Evening / night trip |
|---|---|---|
| Main appeal | Swimming stops, scenery, family time | Music, dancing, after-dark atmosphere |
| Example tour | Dolphin island, pirate, Suluada, Green Canyon | Side disco-yacht night tour |
| Swimming | Yes, multiple stops in daylight | Focus is the party, not swimming |
| Best for | Families, mixed groups, non-swimmers | Couples, friends, groups wanting a night out |
| Starting price (per person) | From EUR20-25 (sea), EUR21-28 up to EUR68 (island/canyon) | From EUR68 |
| Pickup | Morning hotel transfer | Transfer arranged; timing confirmed the day before |

The evening option in detail: our disco-yacht night tour
The Side disco-yacht night tour is our evening party boat: on-board music, dancing and an after-dark mood on the sea. It suits couples, groups of friends and anyone who wants a night out that is not just another bar. It is the closest thing we have to a "sunset and evening" experience, and we would rather send you to a boat that genuinely runs at night than promise a cruise that does not exist. Availability and the live price are shown on the tour page, so book online there and pay on the tour day.
Daytime boats worth booking instead (or as well)
Most of our fleet sails in daylight, and these are the trips people book most. Any of them can pair with an evening on the disco-yacht for a full day-into-night out.
- Side dolphin island boat tour from EUR21 — a shorter sea cruise with an island stop and swimming.
- Side pirate boat trip from EUR23 — a lively animated boat with music and foam, good fun for mixed groups.
- Little Pirates boat trip from EUR20 — a gentler version for young children and families.
- Green Canyon boat tour from EUR28 — a calm freshwater lake cruise with swimming stops, strong for families and non-swimmers.
- Side Suluada island boat trip from EUR43 and the Antalya Suluada island boat tour from EUR68 — full-day trips out to turquoise Suluada island.
- Side relax boat trip with waterfall — a quieter, more relaxed sea cruise if you want calm over crowds.
Choosing your departure point matters too — browse what leaves from your base on the Side departures hub.
Private boats: the flexible way to catch low light
If a shared timetable does not fit the evening you have in mind, a private boat gives you the most control over when you sail. We run several private options across the region, priced per boat on request rather than per person:
- Private VIP boat from Side — well suited to couples and celebrations.
- Private yacht from Kumkoy — a private yacht for groups.
- Private gulet charter — a classic wooden gulet for larger groups.
- Luxury motor yacht full day — a premium private yacht for a full day out.
For timings, routes and a live quote on any of these, message us through the tour page and we will confirm what is possible for your dates.
How pickup and booking work
Booking is simple: reserve online and pay on the tour day. For daytime trips, guests are picked up from their hotel in the morning; the exact time is confirmed the day before and varies from hotel to hotel. For the disco-yacht night tour the transfer is arranged the same way, with the pickup time confirmed the day before. If you are unsure which base suits you, our captains run from several points across the region, so start from the departure hub nearest your hotel.
Frequently asked questions
Do you run a dedicated sunset cruise?
No. We are honest about this: we do not sell a stand-alone sunset cruise. Our purpose-built after-dark trip is the Side disco-yacht night tour, and everything else in our fleet is a daytime sea or lake trip. Check the tours page for what departs in the evening on your dates.
What is the best evening boat trip you offer?
The Side disco-yacht night tour from EUR68. It is a party boat with music and dancing, and it is the one trip we run that is designed for the evening rather than the middle of the day.
Can I book a private boat for a quiet evening on the water?
Yes. A private hire — such as the Private VIP boat from Side or a private yacht from Kumkoy — gives you the most say over timing, which is the best route if you want calm water and low light. These are priced per boat on request, so ask through the tour page for your dates.
How much do evening and day trips cost?
As an approximate 2026 starting guide: day sea trips are around EUR20-25, the disco-yacht night tour starts from EUR68, and island trips such as Suluada run roughly EUR42-68. Private boats are priced per boat on request. The live price is always on each tour page.
How does hotel pickup work?
Guests are picked up from their hotel in the morning for day trips; the exact time is confirmed the day before and varies from hotel to hotel. For the evening disco-yacht tour the transfer is arranged the same way, with your pickup time confirmed the day before departure.
Ready to pick your trip?
For the evening, our honest answer is the disco-yacht night tour; for swimming and daytime scenery, one of the day boats above. Both are on the same page, so compare day and evening options side by side on our boat trips page and book online — you pay on the tour day.
