In November the big party boats in Alanya become fewer, the harbour gets quieter and the sea often lies calm and clear in the morning light. It is a lovely moment for a slower kind of day on the water: a private fishing trip. Instead of sharing the deck with dozens of strangers, you head out with your own small group and a local crew who know these waters well. You can find the details and book on our Private Fishing Tour page.
Why fishing suits late autumn
When it is no longer quite warm enough for long swims, fishing gives you a reason to be out on the Mediterranean anyway. The light is soft, the coastline with Alanya Castle above it looks beautiful from the water, and there is no rush. Beginners are welcome: the crew shows you how to bait the hook and handle the line, and experienced anglers can simply enjoy the peace.
What to expect on board
- A private trip: the boat is reserved for your group, so the pace and the atmosphere are yours.
- Help from the crew: they choose the spots and give tips throughout the trip.
- Patience pays off: what bites depends on the day, the weather and a bit of luck, and that is part of the charm.
The duration, what is included and the current price are shown on the tour page, so please check them before you go.
What to wear and bring
- A light jacket or windbreaker, as it can feel cool at sea in the morning
- Non-slip shoes for the deck
- Sunglasses and sun cream, since the autumn sun is still strong on the water
- A bottle of water and a small snack
Make a day of it with a rental car
A fishing trip usually leaves you with the rest of the day free. With a rental car from Wind Rent Alanya you can drive along the coast afterwards, stop for lunch at a seaside restaurant or visit a quiet beach at your own pace. Arriving in Alanya soon? Our airport transfer brings you straight to your hotel, so the holiday starts relaxed.
