Amazing day! Boat is really comfortable with bed to tan and a covered area for those who want to stay in the shadow, staff were very kind and the trip was perfect. We went to 4 different spot with clear blue water. Just bring your own mask for snorkeling if you want to cause they don’t have it on board.

Great fun day out

Fun day trip!

Zariah_G, Sep 2025

The boat tour was fun! Luckily I was placed on a smaller boat which lead to a calmer atmosphere. We made 4 stops with time to swim at each. Make sure to not swim far from the boat so you’d have ample time to return when it’s time to go. The lunch was okay - good for it to be included in the price; it was pasta with salad, chicken tenders, and a yogurt vegetable dip. You could also buy snacks and drinks on the boat. I will say, there was one passenger on board that had a gluten allergy and the captain made gluten free pasta for her, which was very nice! There’s also a magnum ice cream boat that comes around some of the swimming spots! It was a nice day and you return with enough time for dinner afterwards. Would definitely do it again and recommend!

Bodrum boat and swim.

Sherri_B, Sep 2025

We had a great time and made new friends on board. It would be nice to pay more and have beverages in closed, but it was worth the trip.

Highly recommended

Flora_R, Jul 2025

Comfortable boat, with adequate shade & sun areas to sit. Friendly crew and plenty of stops to swim.

Highly recommended!

Boat trip from Bodrum

Jihad_S, Jun 2025

Wonderful trip. Swim in 4 different locations. Nice home style food. Good size boat with nice friendly crew

No frills option for a multi stop beach day w lunch

Lillian_H, May 2025

The boat goes to to several lovely places which are all great for swimming. The drinks for purchase are very affordably priced and the included lunch was basic but good and there was enough for seconds. The top level of the boat is mostly uncovered so if you want shade you will be sitting in the main part downstairs. There is no snorkeling equipment provided, but the locations you go aren't the best for that anyway. I thought the overall value was great, but do no go into this thinking it is something it is not.

Great day out

Michael_B, May 2025

We are 3 single travellers from Australia 35-40 years old We all had a great day on the boat, perfect last day in Turkey - Easy to find the boat - Staff were great (Sibsi the main man on deck, absolute legend, looked after everyone and made sure we all had a good time) - Lunch was really good - Drinks are available to purchase and price was very good (and there was no pressure to buy anything at all) Would definitely do it again if/when I am in Turkey again

Fantastic

Amazing experience!

Jessica_V, Sep 2024

We went to 4-5 beautiful beaches! The staff was amazing and very attentive! The food was pasta, a salad and chicken strips. We were able to purchase alcoholic beverages on the boat. We loved this experience!

You pay for what you get

Cihan_B, Sep 2024

You really do pay for what you get. Boat ride was okay however, the person checking the tickets named Mustafe (has long hair and wears a hat) wanted to start a fight with me for no reason. He was very aggressive and was rude. I asked him about snorkeling and he gave me an attitude and said they don’t offer that. The skipper who gos by jumbo white hair older guy with belly was okay. Food was bland. The swimming was good but i wish they played better music and explained things better. Not what i was expecting.

Best day in Bodrum 👙🤿

Philip_F, Aug 2024

The crew is very friendly and funny. Food was delicious and tasty. Ice cream boats will come up and sell treats. The swimming locations are absolutely incredible!

Great Day Out

Elaine_W, Jun 2024

We had a great time out on the water on a 33*C day stopping at 4 places to swim and enjoy the scenery. The included chicken pasta and salad lunch was enjoyable and we purchased our drinks at reasonable prices. The staff were very professional and friendly with a great sense of humour.. Everything was well organised and communicated. Just go and relax and enjoy 5/5.

Amazing day on the Aegean

Matthew_U, Jun 2024

The staff were great, very friendly, lively and made the entire experience great. The boat was well maintained comfortable and perfectly suited for a relaxing trip. Lunch was Satisfactory. The boat was not crowded in plenty of room to spread out. Highly recommend this tour.

Well worth it!

Elaine_L, Sep 2023

Really enjoyed the boat trip. Lovely crew! The dinner we had was really nice and filling. Stopped at 4 different bays which were perfect… had plenty of time at each one to swim or chill. Met a lovely lady who was brilliant and has been on the boat numerous times. Defo well worth the money and 5 star rating. Don’t miss out.

A memorable experience

John_H, Aug 2023

Had a great time on the Bayside boat. The crew had a good sense of humour and were very accomodating. We did 4 swimming stops in total at places that had crystal clear water. Lunch was provided and a wonderful day out on the water. Highly recommend to do.

A perfect day on the water

Jason_S, Aug 2023

Would definitely book again! We came in from a cruise and the boat was an easy 10 minute walk from the cruise port and quick to find. The crew brought us to 4 beautiful swimming location including a hot spring (admission was an additional 3USD or 3 Euro). The hot spring was inside a small cave and not for the claustrophobic. A small lunch with fresh fruit and Turkish tea was included along with drinks for purchase. The crew was super friendly and were a big part of the great experience. LGBT friendly

Worth it ❤️

Ahmed_M, Aug 2023

You will never feel sorry for the time you spend with the crew or in the trip. Thank you all for your kind hospitality. See you next year again.

Absolution brilliant

David_M, May 2023

Fab day on the water.

Isobel_B, May 2023

Fabulous day on the water. Great atmosphere on the boat, friendly staff. Lunch was great given the price of the experience. Beautiful bays. So relaxing.

Pleasant people

Tugay_T, Sep 2025

It was a pleasant boat tour. The boat is slightly smaller than the classic ones, so it looks a little more exclusive. The crew is nice, too. The approached bathing spots are very nice. Anyone in Bodrum should take this boat tour.

Sehr angenehme Bootsfahrt mit paradiesischem Wasser. Das essen war für den Preis auch total in Ordnung. Getränke kosten extra, ist aber nicht die Welt. Alles in allem sehr gelungen, sehr nettes Personal. Nur zu empfehlen. Positiv ist noch zu erwähnen, dass die Musik nicht zu laut ist und man gut entspannen und genießen kann.
