This was an amazing day! The boat was beautiful and the scenery was just spectacular! Water was crystal clear and the several stops we made to swim were a refreshing respite from the heat! Lunch on board the boat was perfect. Little plates of Turkish goodies. We brought our own snorkels although they ended up having several to use. Snorkles are a must! Lots of shade on the boat if you need it. Don't hesitate to book this adventure.

Very relaxing boat trip. Great tour of sunken city. Plenty of good swimming stops. Excellent food and plenty of it. We were really well looked after by the captain and his wife, they did everything they could to make it a fantastic day. Highly recommended!!!

Truly Spectacular! Must do experience.

My family (Me, my husband and 2 daughters 10&13) from Australia had the most beautiful day out on the water with lots of swimming stops, amazing hospitality, beautiful lunch. Belly full of food and laughter. Captain Ali and his lovely daughter Elif were our incredible hosts. We learnt this is a family run boat and they are wonderful people. We had so much fun and were blown away how good the trip was. We’d spent a lot more on a private yacht in Kemer only a few days earlier and we all as a family agreed that the Estrella boat was 100 times better. So spacious and so comfortable. Captain Ali speaks english as well which was good as we could communicate so easily. We hope we can come back to Turkey again to take this private boat tour again. Money well spent. Best day of our 4 week holiday for sure!! 5 stars!! Thank you captain Ali and family for an unforgettable day out in the beautiful Turkish Mediterranean sea. We will treasure the beautiful memories forever.

Great splurge trip!

Caroline_J, May 2024
Perfect honeymoon splurge. The stops were stunningly gorgeous and the captain gave us options and background on the area. The food his wife cooked was delicious! We spent the day relaxing on the boat deck and swimming in the water. Highly recommend! Price very reasonable for a full day private cruise.

Amazing, memorable, 100% worth it

Megan_H, Oct 2022
Ibrahim and his wife took us on our stunning trip. They were absolutely amazing, so welcoming friendly and warm, and made our trip even better. Ibrahim was open to whatever we wanted to do, allowing us to spend shorter or longer times in each area depending how we felt. The entire boat trip was amazing from the second we got on to the moment we got off, we were all in shock at the beauty of the landscape, the blue of the ocean was so beautiful, and the ancient ruins were breathtaking. Lunch was served, and my family said it was their favourite meal of the holiday, home-cooked, fresh and delicious, Ibrahim's wife was amazing, all prepared from scratch with the freshest ingredients! The fish was caught that morning by Ibrahim. They even packed up the leftovers so we could take them home for dinner. We saw other boats on trips in big groups, and we were so happy to have the private experience, Ibrahim was so good at taking us to quieter more private coves, avoiding other boats. A truly memorable day, and our favourite day of the holiday, I 100% recommend, and definitely recommend Ibrahim to be your captain if you get the chance!

Esperienza bellissima, mare stupendo! Una giornata perfetta da passare in gruppo con gli amici. Barca molto comoda e spaziosa. Siamo stati ospitati e coccolati da due signori local che ci hanno preparato un pranzo buonissimo e ricco di specialità della casa. Consiglio vivamente l’esperienza
