Belek Mediterranean Fishing Trip: Captain-Led Boat Tour with Breakfast & Lunch
Set out from Belek’s port with a local captain to fish Mediterranean reefs and coves. This half-day excursion pairs hands-on instruction with breakfast and a cooked lunch on a small, traditional fishing boat.
The Experience
Before You Go
Bring motion-sickness remedies
The Mediterranean can shift from glassy to choppy; take medication or acupressure bands before boarding if you’re prone to seasickness.
Sun protection is mandatory
Wide-brim hat, high-SPF sunscreen, and UV sunglasses keep you comfortable during long periods on deck.
Wear non-slip shoes
Decks get wet and tackle can snag — closed-toe, grippy footwear reduces slips and protects toes.
Follow the captain’s handling rules
Respect catch-and-release guidance and the captain’s instructions for landing and storing fish to avoid injury and protect local populations.
Local Knowledge
Hidden Gems
- •Early-morning shallow reefs where small baitfish attract dolphins and colorful wrasse
- •Coastal coves east of Belek that offer quieter anchoring and better shore views for photos
Wildlife
- •Common dolphins (frequently sighted)
- •Loggerhead sea turtles (Caretta caretta) — nesting season visible from shore in summer
Conservation Note
Sea turtle nesting and overfishing are local concerns—follow captain guidance on catch limits, avoid single-use plastics, and never disturb nesting beaches.
The Antalya coastline formed part of ancient Pamphylia; nearby archaeological sites such as Aspendos and Perge reflect the region’s Roman and Hellenistic past, which influenced local maritime routes.
