Non-Swimmers in Titreyengöl: Can You Still Enjoy a Boat Tour?

Titreyengöl lies between Sorgun and Kızılağaç, east of Side. A question that comes up wherever people holiday on this coast but is rarely asked out loud: is a boat tour pointless if you cannot swim?

Short answer

It is not. You can stay on deck and enjoy the cruise, the food and the entertainment. Life jackets are on our record for the Island tour, where non-swimmers are explicitly welcome. For any other boat, ask us before you book. The pickup from Titreyengöl is included.

A short answer for each type of non-swimmer

You cannot swim and do not want to get in. Pick by what you will do on board instead. Foam, music and lunch on the Side Boat Tour or Island tour, or a reserved sunbed on Relax.

You cannot swim but want to be in the sea. Start with the Island tour, since life jackets for swimming are on record for that tour alone.

You are a nervous swimmer. Tell the crew when you board. They need to know, and it is a much easier conversation before anyone jumps in.

You would rather have something to do with your hands. Fishing is an activity that keeps you out of the water altogether.

Before you commit

  • Ask us whether life jackets are carried on your chosen boat, and in which sizes, especially for a child.
  • Do not assume that a delta or bay is shallow; we have no depth figures for any stop.
  • Remember that a parent remains responsible for a child at all times.
  • Follow the crew's safety guidance at swim stops.

What you will miss, honestly

On a tour such as Caretta Bay, the main event is a long swim. Half the charm of the river-mouth stop is feeling the cold and the warm water side by side, and that is hard to get from a deck. If that is the main thing a tour offers, pick another. The Manavgat and bazaar day has a market that requires no water skills at all.
