Yacht photo shoot in Alanya: how it all works

A yacht is one of the most spectacular locations for a photo shoot in Alanya: turquoise water, cliffs and caves seen from the sea, wind in your hair and no random passers-by in the frame. Here is how to prepare so that the shoot on the water goes smoothly.

Private yacht or group tour

There are many pleasure boats in Alanya harbour. A private yacht is better for a photo shoot: you choose the route, the time and the stops yourself, and there are no crowds of other tourists in the frame. You can also shoot on the group “pirate” boats, but there is less freedom and the backgrounds are busier.

Terms and options for shooting on the water — on the yacht photo shoot page.

The best time for a yacht

The most beautiful shots happen at sunset: warm light, calm sea, silhouettes against the sun. A daytime trip is also good — it is cooler on the water, and at noon the sea is at its most turquoise, especially near the caves and cliffs of the peninsula.

What to wear on a yacht

• A light-coloured dress or linen suit — moves beautifully in the wind.
• A swimsuit for shots on the bow and in the water.
• A hat — hold it or choose one with ties, the wind is strong.
• Flat shoes with non-slip soles, or better — barefoot.

More ideas — in the article “What to wear for a beach photo shoot”.

What shots you get on a yacht

• A portrait on the bow against the open sea.
• Jumping into the water and splash shots.
• A couple on the stern against the sunset.
• The view of Alanya Castle and the caves from the water.
• A wide shot of the yacht from above — with a drone.

How to avoid seasickness and protect your things

If you get seasick, choose the evening — the sea is usually calmer. Don’t eat a heavy meal before going out, look at the horizon and, if needed, take a seasickness remedy in advance. Keep your phone and documents in a waterproof bag.
