Holiday budgets usually break at the pier, when charges nobody mentioned suddenly appear. So here is the arithmetic of a single day on the water: what the ticket covers, what you pay for separately, and what a family actually spends.
What 1,500 TL Per Person Buys
The Bodrum daily boat trip price is 1,500 TL per person. That covers the entire programme of roughly 6.5 hours, from the 10:30 departure at Gümbet Harbour to the 17:00 return at the same pier.
- Four swimming stops - Dalgıç Cove, Ada Boğazı, Aşıklar Cove and Akvaryum Cove - with 30 to 40 minutes at each
- Lunch served around 13:00 at Ada Boğazı: chicken, pasta and salad
- Hotel pick-up from Gümbet, Bitez and Ortakent, with no surcharge
- A DJ set and dance animations on deck
- Life jackets, safety gear and insurance, plus toilets, a shower and a changing cabin
How Child Fares Are Counted
Children aged 0-6 travel free. Ages 6-12 pay a half ticket, which comes to 750 TL. Everyone over 12 pays the full fare. Two adults with an eight-year-old therefore pay 3,750 TL, and adding a four-year-old to the same family does not change the total. The way the meal is priced into the ticket is explained in more detail elsewhere.
What You Still Pay For
To be straightforward about it, drinks are the one real extra. Alcoholic or soft, they are bought at the deck bar and charged separately. Towels are not provided either, so bring your own. Sunscreen and a snorkel belong on the same list. A comparison with venues on shore makes the difference easier to see.
Adding Up One Day
For two people the tickets come to 3,000 TL, plus whatever you order at the bar. If you are staying around Gümbet, transport costs nothing, because the shuttle is part of the fare. Capacity is 100 guests, so busy weeks fill up early. Cancellations are refunded up to three days before the tour date.
Payment and Booking
Card, bank transfer and the other usual options all work. A WhatsApp message to +90 536 306 6359 is enough to hold a place. If you want a quiet day at sea, this is not your boat, since the tempo rises after lunch. Our notes for groups of friends set expectations clearly, and you can write to us with anything left over.
