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 and a relaxed pace — from €30 per person.

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 a long break to eat. Lunch is not included: bring your own picnic on board or use the bar (fair prices). 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 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.

Frequently asked questions

Is lunch included?

No, lunch is not included in the price. You can bring your own picnic on board or buy something at the boat's bar (fair prices).

Is there room for a stroller?

Can you sit in silence or is there always music?
