What You Can Add to a Private Boat in Side

Why the options are kept separate

Some groups want the whole day handled: a pickup from the hotel, lunch on deck and cold drinks waiting. Others prefer to make their own way to the harbour and bring a light picnic. If we folded everything into one price, half our guests would pay for things they do not want.

So the starting price covers the boat for your package, and the options sit on top, chosen by you. Your quote lists the price for exactly the charter you asked for. For how the boat price itself is built, see our private yacht prices guide.

Option 1: hotel transfer

Add a transfer if you would rather not arrange a taxi to the meeting point. It is priced in your quote, and the pickup time is confirmed with your booking; we do not publish pickup times in advance because they depend on the boat, the package and where you are staying.

Without a transfer, we tell you where to meet: Side harbour or a pier on the Manavgat river, depending on the boat.

• —Tell us where you are staying, and whether everyone is at the same place
• —Say if you need room for a pushchair or anything bulky
• —Check the pickup time in your confirmation

Option 2: food or lunch

On the daytime package (10:00–15:00), lunch falls naturally in the middle of the day, at a shaded table on board. On the sunset package, food turns an evening on deck into a proper meal. Either way, food is an option priced in your quote.

Tell us about dietary needs, allergies and children's preferences when you ask, and we confirm what can be arranged for your boat and date. A daytime charter with lunch is described in our guide to a private day on the water.

Option 3: soft drinks

Soft drinks are the third option, also priced in the quote. On a hot day they are worth adding, especially with children on board.

For anything other than soft drinks, ask us about drinks with your request and we tell you what applies to your charter. We prefer to answer that question individually rather than publish a rule here.

If you are out for the daytime package, remember that five hours in the sun is thirsty work. Even if you skip lunch, cold soft drinks on board are an easy way to keep everyone comfortable, especially children and older guests.

How to request options

Add the options to your request on our prices page, the quote form or WhatsApp. A simple format helps:

• —Transfer: yes / no (and where you are staying)
• —Food or lunch: yes / no (and any dietary needs)
• —Soft drinks: yes / no
• —Other drinks: ask us
• —Anything else, such as a cake for a celebration: tell us and we confirm what is possible

Things that are not standard options

We list only what we can stand behind. Decorations, music and other extras are not standard options; if you have a wish, tell us and we confirm what is possible with your quote. For celebrations, our guide to birthdays and anniversaries on a private yacht has more ideas. Families planning food and transfers around children should also read the family boat guide.

The simple rule: if something is not in your quote, assume it is not arranged, and ask. A short message before the day costs nothing and avoids surprises on board.
