Almost every message we get starts with the same question: what does a day at sea cost, and what is actually included? For the coming season the answer is stable. Bodrum boat tour 2026 prices are 1,500 TL per person, from the first sailing in spring to the last one in autumn. What changes across the months is the atmosphere on deck, not the fare.
What the fare buys you
The package is identical in May and in August. This is the list worth holding up against any other boat you compare us with:
- Hotel pick-up in Gümbet, Bitez and Ortakent, with no extra charge
- Lunch served around 13:00 at Ada Boğazı: chicken, pasta and salad
- Four swimming stops, life jackets, safety equipment and insurance
- Drinks are not included — the deck bar charges separately
- Towels are not provided, so bring your own
The cost is broken down item by item in our full day-trip budget piece.
May and June: room to breathe
Early in the season the water is still cool and the deck is far from full. A boat licensed for 100 guests often sails around half capacity, which makes it easy to claim a shaded seat or take photos without anyone in the frame. Since the price does not drop later, these weeks give you the most space per lira. Mornings can be breezy, so pack a light layer.
July and August: the busiest stretch
Midsummer is when the deck fills up and the DJ set works hardest. Music stays in the background before lunch, then the tempo rises and the dance animations begin. If you are looking for a quiet day at sea, these two months are not your window. Booking also gets tighter — same-day tickets are rarely possible, so write a few days ahead. You can see the mood in the photos taken on board.
September and October: warm sea, thinner crowd
Once schools reopen, demand eases while the sea keeps the heat it stored all summer. These are the most balanced weeks for snorkelling at Akvaryum Bay. The schedule stays untouched: departure from Gümbet harbour at 10:30, back at the same pier by 17:00.
Children, payment and cancellation
Children under 6 travel free and ages 6 to 12 pay half — the same rule from opening day to closing day. Card and bank transfer are both accepted, and cancellations are possible up to three days before your tour date. If food matters most to you, read how the menu sits inside the fare; if you are arriving as a large party, check the way we seat bigger groups. Reservations on WhatsApp: +90 536 306 6359.
