Kemer Marina: What to See at the Harbour and Marina
Kemer Marina is the small, busy harbour on the Kemer waterfront, with berths for yachts and day boats, and a marina arcade and shops at the quay.

Kemer Marina is a small, working harbour on the Kemer waterfront rather than a resort showpiece. It lies one mile west of Koca Burnu, and day boats rather than yachts set the pace of the basin. This guide covers the layout, the boat traffic, the walk along the front and the practical detail that matters when you arrive.
Come expecting a harbour to look at rather than a full day out. The marina gives you boats, water and a marina arcade and shopping centre at the quay, and you can pair it with the rest of the things to do in Kemer once you have seen it.
Where the marina sits in Kemer
The harbour sits on the Kemer shoreline in a town that spreads along the coast with its wide beaches, orderly roads, lush green nature and parks one after another, and the marina is the point where that shoreline meets the boat trade.
Sailors approach it from the sea at the coordinates 36°36'3"N 30°34'21"E, watching VHF Channel 73, which the marina monitors around the clock.
Berths, boats and facilities
Berth counts vary by source. Visit Kemer describes space for 150 yachts afloat and 150 ashore, while a sailing directory lists 230 berths with a maximum length of 20 metres and depths of 2 to 5 metres.
Shore services are aimed squarely at boat owners: fuel, electricity, water, security and sea services, plus yacht maintenance and repair units and a 60-tonne boat-hoist. There is also a marina arcade and shopping centre on site, which is the part that matters most if you are visiting on foot rather than arriving by yacht.
Day boats and gulets at the quay
The traffic you see is mostly day boats and gulets rather than long-stay yachts. They are served through a separate gate, and hundreds of guests head out on cruises from here several times a day, so one boat leaves as another ties up. That constant turnaround, not yacht arrivals, is what makes the basin feel busy.
Strong wind makes the job harder for the marina team and the captains, so the quayside can look hectic on a breezy afternoon. Boat trips are not run by G Marina Kemer itself, so ask at the quay about departure times, duration and what a trip includes; hundreds of guests go out with these day boats several times a day, and schedules vary with the weather.
Walking the waterfront
The quays, the arcade and the shopping centre sit together, so the walk is short but has enough to break it up. The marina is a working harbour rather than a promenade attraction, and the appeal is watching the boats come and go against the water.
The waterfront walk is best treated as one stop in a wider day rather than a destination in itself. If you want the layout before you set off, the Kemer Map marks the harbour against the town streets and the coast road.
Getting there from Antalya and central Kemer
The marina sits 50 km from Antalya Airport, the run most visitors make on arrival.
For orientation, the Özkaymak Marina Hotel publishes its address as Merkez Mah. Onno Tunç Cd. No:7, 07980 Kemer/Antalya, and its own site describes it as sitting in the heart of Kemer. Use the address as a landmark rather than as a place to head for.
The harbour as a port of entry
Kemer Marina also functions as the town's sea border gate, where entry and exit formalities are handled by the relevant officials in an office at the marina entrance. That is why you may see uniformed staff and paperwork around the harbour rather than only leisure sailors.
For anyone arriving by private boat, this is the practical point: the marina is listed as a port of entry with all the official offices within the marina. Visitors on foot can simply enjoy the harbour without needing to go near any of it.
When to see the harbour without the heat
The marina is a short stop, so you can fit it into a morning or an evening stroll without building the day around it, rather than making it the purpose of a journey to Kemer.
If you are building a day around the coast, the marina works well as a starting point before you head out to the ancient sites and beaches further along the shore. Pair it with the wider things to do and you get a full day without ever needing a long transfer.
Is the marina worth a stop?
Yes, if you are already in Kemer: the harbour is easy to walk and gives you boats, water and a marina arcade and shopping centre. It is not a reason to travel to Kemer on its own, but it is an easy, honest stop that fits neatly into a day in town.
Check the current position on boat departures and any port formalities at the marina office when you arrive, since these change with the season and the day's weather.
