Sazan-Karaburun cruise boat: the comfortable choice for groups and families

Not everyone wants a speedboat: if you're travelling with small children, grandparents or a large group, the cruise boat is the right choice. Real shade, on-board toilet, included lunch and a relaxed pace — at the lowest price of all tours.

Direct booking with local operators: no hidden fees, free cancellation up to 48h before.

The programme: skirting or landing at Sazan (depending on the day), passing in front of Haxhi Ali Cave and a long swim stop in a Karaburun bay, with fish lunch served on board (simple menu: salad, grilled fish or pasta, fruit). Background music and a cheerful atmosphere.

Let's be honest: the cruise boat doesn't enter the caves and makes fewer stops than the speedboat. But it costs less, includes lunch and has the comforts that make the difference with children or seniors. Choose based on your group, not just price.

Who it's for (and who it's not)

Families with small children, large groups, anyone seeking comfort and low price. Not suitable if you want to enter the caves or make many swim stops: for that you need the speedboat.

Weather & cancellation

The large vessel sails even in moderate seas: cancellations are rare. If the tour is cancelled, rescheduling or full refund.

Frequently asked questions

What's the lunch really like?

Simple but honest: fresh grilled fish or pasta with seafood sauce, salad and fruit. Vegetarian option if you tell us at booking.

Is there room for a stroller?

Yes, it folds near the entrance. The main deck is wheelchair-accessible too, but let us know in advance to arrange.

Can you sit in silence or is there always music?

There is music but the upper deck stays quieter: arrive early and grab a seat there.
