Ka: Day Sailing Catamaran Trip with Lunch and Snorkeling

If you’re dreaming of a day on the water exploring Turkey’s stunning Mediterranean coast, this Day Sailing Catamaran Trip from Ka might just be what you’re looking for. While I haven’t personally been on this exact tour, I’ve read enough detailed reviews and trip descriptions to give you a solid idea of what to expect.

What I love about this experience is how it combines sailing, delicious food, and snorkeling into one relaxing day. The chance to visit hidden coves and islands that only locals know about sounds like a real treat. The other big plus is the luxurious yacht, which sets a tone of comfort and style.

On the flip side, a thing to consider is that this tour is not ideal for non-swimmers or seasick-prone travelers, so if either describes you, you might want to think twice.

This trip seems best suited for those who enjoy a mix of relaxation, scenic views, and good food — maybe couples, friends, or even solo travelers who want a peaceful day out on the water without a packed schedule.

What to Expect on the Sailing Trip

This tour is designed to give you a full 8-hour escape into the calm and beauty of the Mediterranean. The adventure begins at Setur Ka Marina around 10:00 AM (though check your booking for exact times). From there, the boat departs promptly, setting you on a scenic two-hour sail along the coast.

The sailing itself offers a perfect opportunity to soak up the views, feel the breeze, and unwind. The boat is a luxurious catamaran, which makes a noticeable difference in comfort — space to relax, stylish surroundings, and the ability to enjoy the sea breeze without feeling cramped.

Exploring the Hidden Covets and Islands

One of the highlights is the chance to visit 3-4 different islands and coves. These spots are described as secluded and only known to locals, making them ideal for swimming and snorkeling in calm, clear waters. A key point here is the ability to swim, snorkel, and paddleboard—all included in the package.

Each stop is a chance to cool off with a swim and explore underwater life with provided snorkel masks. The calm bays ensure a relaxing experience, away from crowded beaches and tourist traps.

The Food and Dining Experience

A standout feature of this trip, according to reviews and descriptions, is the lunch prepared by a professional chef. The menu includes fish, chicken, or meatballs, accompanied by salad, pasta or rice, and Turkish tapas.

We loved that the meals are made onboard, offering a fresh, warm, and beautifully presented feast. The hot drinks and water keep you refreshed, and the beach towels are provided for lounging on deck.

The quality of the food, combined with the stunning sea views, makes for a truly enjoyable dining experience—no rushed buffet here, just a sit-down meal in the middle of a day on the water.

Additional Activities and Equipment

Keeping things lively, the tour supplies snorkeling masks and paddleboards free of charge. This means you can spend your time exploring underwater or paddling around at your leisure.

Many reviews mention how much fun they had with this gear, especially when the water is calm and clear. It’s an easy way to add some adventure without extra cost or effort.

The Overall Value

At $1,526 for a private group of up to 8 people, this tour costs about $190 per person, which might seem steep at first glance. However, considering the luxury yacht, all meals, snorkeling gear, paddleboards, and a full day’s experience, the value starts to make sense, especially for those wanting a personalized, hassle-free day.

It’s worth noting that the all-inclusive nature—covering fuel, fees, and meals—means no hidden costs creeping up during the day, which is appreciated in a premium experience.

Who Should Book This Tour?

This experience suits travelers who prioritize comfort, scenic beauty, and good food over a noisy, crowded boat tour. It’s ideal for couples, friends, or small groups who want a relaxing day out with plenty of opportunities to swim and snorkel.

If you’re not comfortable swimming or prone to seasickness, this might not be the best fit, as some time is spent anchored in calm bays for swimming.
