Booking a place on the water in Bodrum is simple, yet most visitors hesitate over the same details: who to write to, what the fare actually covers and how early a seat should be held. Here are those questions, answered one by one.
Where do I buy the ticket?
The quickest route is WhatsApp: +90 536 306 6359. You reserve there and pay by card or bank transfer — every payment option is open. Once the booking is confirmed you receive the meeting time and your pick-up details. Sorting out a Bodrum boat tour ticket usually takes a few messages.
Where and when does the boat leave?
Departure is from Gümbet Harbour at 10:30, and the same pier is where the day ends at 17:00 — roughly six and a half hours on board. If your hotel is in Gümbet, Bitez or Ortakent, the shuttle is already covered by the fare. First time finding the pier? Our walk-through of the meeting point helps, and guests staying in town can check how to reach us from the centre.
What does the price include?
- 1,500 TL per person; free for ages 0-6, half price for ages 6-12
- Lunch on board: chicken, pasta and salad, served around 13:00 at Ada Boğazı
- Hotel transfer for Gümbet, Bitez and Ortakent
- Life jackets, safety equipment and insurance
- Drinks are not included — soft and alcoholic options are sold at the deck bar
- Towels are not provided, so bring your own
How early should I book?
In high summer the boat fills up days ahead, so writing early is the safer plan. Capacity is 100 guests and same-day requests are not always possible. If your plans change, refunds are available up to three days before the tour date.
Which route does the ticket cover?
Your ticket covers four stops: Dalgıç Bay, Ada Boğazı, Aşıklar Bay and Akvaryum Bay, with 30-40 minutes at each one and snorkelling at the final stop. Other operators in Bodrum sail towards places such as Karaada; if you are comparing budgets, our look at prices on that route is useful background. For the hour-by-hour flow, the daily programme page lays it out. Note that the DJ lifts the tempo after lunch, so a silent day at sea is not what this trip offers.
