The tour operator is very professional and assisted us with ground transportation to and from our hotel at a very reasonable rate. The boat and crew exceed our expectations and provide us with a memorable experience that we will always cherish. The water is stunning and should not be missed. If you are on the fence, take the plunge and you will not be disappointed.

The whole experience was fantastic, from booking to the actual boat trip. I got regular updates on where to meet, the 2 young boys that were on the boat were really friendly and lunch was lovely. I even got a cake for my birthday.

Amazing day on the Aegean Sea.

Bodrum boat cruise

Dinah_B, Sep 2025

The good: Flexible scheduling was nice, beautiful stops, delicious lunch. Needs improvement: captain and crew did not acknowledge us when we arrived, they gave us no information about the trip, crew spoke no English, boat was ok but stained cushions, etc. we were told we could purchase drinks on board, the had a couple of beers, and an opened bottle of wine. For our group we had 2 beers, 1 glass of terrible wine, and 2 tiny diet Cokes and were charged $50, only 3 swim noodles on the boat

Perfection on the Aegean Sea

Liz_C, Sep 2025

A glorious way to soak up the ambience. Pampered by the Captain and his crew, delicious lunch and magnificent vessel.

Fun boat tour

Belinda_T, Aug 2025

Best day!

Absolute best experience! Captain and his assistant were so accommodating and gave us the best experience. The boat was in perfect condition, the food was phenomenal and the stops we made were perfect for the entire family.

Great service , highly recommend it

The guide took us to a...

Evan_P, Jul 2025

The guide took us to a different location than what was in the tour description as he said it was too busy there. One of the guides onboard also smoked cigarettes throughout the tour which was disappointing. This was more of a taxi on water than it was an actual tour/excursion. They only had a snorkel mask for one of us. Lunch was good so I'll give them credit for that. Overall, I probably wouldn't recommend this tour.

This boat trip was...

Kathy_F, Jun 2025

This boat trip was wonderful, it was 6 of us on the boat so was able to spread out, the lunch that was provided for us was some of the best of the trip. It did rain on the boat some but we made the best of it, the sun came out and we so enjoyed the cove we docked in for a few hours. Our captain was Captain Mehmet and he was wonderful....I would totally recommend this boat trip...win...win. One suggestion is to bring your own adult beverages for the trip or ask them the pricing. I feel like this is the area that we were overcharged, I was informed the prices were reasonable, but I didn't ask what reasonable was. NOT REASONABLE... Great trip boat trip...

Best Excursion of our 2025 family trip on Royal Caribbean!

Anonymous, Jun 2025

Wow! What an experience! A must MUST do while in Bodrum! The boat was awesome, the staff was fantastic and the experience was an A++++++! A must do and we will do again! Next time we will do the live board option, because the day trip had us longing for more. Thank you!!!

Amazing Trip!

Susan_C, Jun 2025

The boat was beautiful and very well kept. It was our captain and his wife. They were very professional and sweet. The meal was AMAZING! Then we had some fresh fruit for a snack. We did three stops that were relaxing and nice. My only suggestions would be to have more than one snorkel and offer floats. The ride was so smooth and relaxing!

Wonderful day sailing the Turkish Aegean

ranjit_c, Oct 2024

Outstanding experience,Captain and asst were professional,communication was excellent,boat was comfortable and provided us an unique experience on the Turkish Aegean.

Stunning boat and beautiful water

Alex_S, Sep 2024

The most memorable parts of the trip were everything! The boat was beautiful with lots of space and beautiful sun beds if tanning is your thing. The captain and crew were so friendly and eager to help. They took us to beautiful coves for swimming, snorkeling and a paddle board. We didn’t use the last so can’t attest but it looked nice. The captain was a chef and cook a beautiful meal. There was some confusion about start time, the booking shows 9:00 and that’s when you should arrive. The confirmation text said 10:30, and we arrived at the later time. We were late. Just know the start time is what’s on the original booking.

Fabulous Sunshine, Crystal Clear Waters, Smooth Sailing and Happy Family

Scott_K, Aug 2024

Maybe we just lucked out, but our family adventure (11 of us) on the water with Captain (& cook) Fazil and his first mate Hasan on the Princess Neyla was the highlight of our Greece Cruise vacation! I was late to the game, having booked the excursion just a week and a half before we were to leave on our trip to Greece from the US. I was hesitant to book at first, but once I saw the reviews I had to get us in on the fun. Fortunately, a boat was available, but since you really don't know to which boat you would be assigned, I had some concerns. Our cruise line offered a similar excursion, but it was for a shorter amount of time and much more expensive, plus this was so much more personal - the 11 of us had the boat all to ourselves. We anchored at three locations to swim and snorkel about. In between, Captain Fazil prepared an incredible authentic Turkish lunch. I read a prior review that mentioned the provision to "upscale" the lunch, so that's what we did; fish option (which Fazil said he caught himself), additional mezes and a wonderful salad. Well worth it. I also read that the boat didn't have any snorkel gear, so I purchased a few masks and snorkels for the group in Bodrum as we walked through town heading to the boat. I also double checked with the booking agent (Onelli Travel) to confirm the snorkel availability, and they stated that only a few items were on board. I think they were commenting generally, as Fazil did have a bunch of snorkels on his boat as well as fins, but I was nice to have a good selection of new ones too. Communication with Bodrum travel and then with Fazil was terse, but good- mostly through the Viator app at home and then via WhatsApp once in Turkey. All in all everyone was happy and had a great time. PS - Sorry for the fuzzed out pictures, but I didn't get my kids permission to post...

Best way to experience the Turkish Ägäis

Relaxing day!

Great day! Captain and mate were very friendly Lunch was terrific! Mask and snorkels need upgrading.

Private boat tour

Heidi_R, Jul 2024

Wasn’t sure what to expect from this excursion, we booked it last minute. But it was a wonderful experience, and we loved the fact that it was private and we didn’t have to fight any crowds. The captain and first mate were friendly and fun. We were expecting a little more history as we viewed the sites but completely enjoyed the lunch and the swimming area. The views were incredible.

Gulet Blue Romance - very good

Tan_G, Jul 2024

Crew were very attentive and nice. Food was great. Gulet was good, cabins and toilettes were comfortable and clean.

Best Cruise Excursion

Anthony_L, Jul 2024

Such a well rounded excursion. The water at each stop was breathtaking. The food onboard was excellent. Highly recommend for those docking on a cruise like we did.

Disappointed

Michael_B, Jun 2024

Easy to get a taxi right outside of cruise port. Communication with tour guide was also great they use WhatsApp. Definitely download beforehand. Boat was older but comfortable. Stopped at three different bays and was able to swim, water was refreshing little windy. Was disappointed in lunch that was served. Very uninspiring grilled fish ( lots of bones) grilled chicken, pasta, dolmas, and a really bad cucumber salad. I had read other reviews that talked about what a great lunch that was served it was definitely a different captain and boat. Not that I was concerned but no one talked about life preservers in case of an emergency. We were encouraged to take a swim but I had to ask for noodles for me and the wife as I am not a strong swimmer and the swim to the beach was quite a distance with choppy water. We were able to do the swim with the help of the flotation device. I think it would be better to have a tube or something to float around in. They did have snorkel and mask. When you book through here it is clearly luck of the draw as far as being assigned a tour operator and boat. It was just myself and my wife so maybe if you have more people in your party you would get a better boat and experience. To be honest I was disappointed in the excursion because I read so many glowing reviews before I booked it.

Amazing

Aymen_A, Jun 2024

Private Bodrum Boat Excursion

Zane_A, Jun 2024

My girlfriend and I have been in Turkey for about 10 days and this was definitely one of our favorite experiences across Bodrum and Istanbul. The boat was ran by a very friendly family who made an excellent lunch. The boat was very large and could easily fit 8 people very comfortably. The locations we went to were beautiful and we did the tour for roughly 5-6 hours. Great service, relaxed environment, and beautiful scenery. Would definitely recommend!

Recommended outing, disappointing crew

Helene_P, Jun 2024

The boat was fine and the captain took us to nice swimming spots. They did not provide any water or towels, which I think should have been part of the basic offering. The real issue was the lack of hospitality and service. We felt like we were intruding on the captain and his family’s outing. The crew consisted of father, mother and adult son. The captain and son went swimming which I found unusual as they were supposedly on the job. No initial welcome or introductions when we got on the boat. Ice was provided for their drinks not ours etc…Communication was a bit of an issue as they had limited ability to speak English. I think this is a great outing it just depends on the crew that you get.

Amazing experience!...

Jonathan_M, Jun 2024

Amazing experience! Captain Simim and first mate Amir were amazing. The boat and bays we went to were incredible. It was the highlight of our time in Bodrum !

A perfect day

Mina_G, Jun 2024

It is never easy to find an activity that 11 family members will enjoy equally. I can honestly say everyone from my 89 year old father to my 14 year old niece had a wonderful time. The boat is comfortable and clean. The sea was cool and perfectly clear. Lunch was yummy and the crew was so nice! It was worth every penny spent.

Best day ever!

Janice_R, Jun 2024

This was literally the best day of our trip! The boat was beautiful and clean. The staff were friendly and professional. The stops were gorgeous, with refreshing water to swim. The meal was delicious, and they even accommodated our slightly larger group of 14 so we could all be together. If I could give more than 5 stars, I would! Such a GREAT excursion with our friends!

Lovely couple

Sarah_W, Jun 2024

Lovely couple who took care of us. Boat was nice. They didn’t speak any English and all we did was go to three different spots to swim. I was under the impression we were going to see some things but overall a lovely day on the water. Food was really good and definitely an authentic experience.
