As we live in Fethiye we have sailed with Ali on many occasions now, both for relaxing day trips…read moreand also when we want to have a fishing trip. The food is very good and he takes into account the needs of his passengers. Recently we took a trip with a good friend who is wheelchair bound and it was no trouble at all. We all had a great day. If we ask him to concentrate on fishing, then he really tries his best in order for the fishermen to have the best chance of a catch.

We decided, on our last few days, to book a boat trip to finish off our wonderful holiday in Olu…read more In the past we used a specific tour operator but, unfortunately this firm was no longer on this resort. We then passed Blue Bays Travel who were offering what we were looking for. Advertised, on a hand written board outside, a small boat with a maximum of 20 people. No loud music, enough sunbeds and lunch. All for about £15 each. PERFECT. We arrived at this small boat and boarded. Then just before we were leaving another 35 people arrived on top of the 5 that were already on board. So much for the maximum of 20 people. We have learned and will avoid these liars next time. In passing I did mention it to the guys on the desk.

While I was in Turkey I wanted to take a boat trip in Bodrum. I pulled up google on my T-Mobile…read moredevice (unlimited LTE in 140+ countries) did a quick search for boat tours in Bodrum and this company came up with high marks. Tried to find it on Yelp but it seems that while Yelp is available in Turkey, no one has jumped on board and wrote any reviews. I went ahead and called them on What's App and asked for the details and prices. The young lady on the phone, Elizabeth, made this easy. She sent me pics and detail of the boats and the cost of hiring a private boat for the day. (If you would like to know the cost, please send me a message) While it was only three of us on the private boat, the boat can hold more, possibly 5-15 people, maybe even more than that. If there was a group of people, hiring a private boat is definitely an economical way of handling business. No need to be with strangers, if you don't like a stop, you can tell the Captain to take you somewhere else. Fishing off the boat is cool with them. Hell, you can even Captain the boat for a while if you want. Anything is possible on this boat trip. Lunch was delicious. I mean, after swimming half the day you will work up an appetite. We were served kofte, chicken, pasta, salad and bread. It hit the spot and in typical Turkish fashion, tea whenever we wanted. There is even an afternoon snack consisting of watermelon, kiwi, bananas and peaches. (See pics) Everything was so good and fresh. Trip started around 930AM and we came back around 6PM so that was a full day of swimming and being in the sun. I personally wanted to go to Orak so that is where I spent the majority of my day. They did make a few other stops on the way back but by far Orak was the best stop. If you are ever in Bodrum and want to take a boat trip be sure to give this team a call. You won't be disappointed.

We took the day boat tour from 10-5pm. The tour brought us to about 6 locations to swim in a…read morevariety of different seas. My favorite location was Esmeralda bay. The water was deep blue and so clear. Other locations include aquarium bay, shipyard bay (entrance to the historical island Kekova), and simena village (location of the sunken sarcopogi). The food was home cooked, authentic, and amazing! Our tour guide was amazing and spoke great english. He provided great descriptions and information about each location. There was 3 tiers on the boat, 1st level with seats and tables, second level with beach mats and third level with more beach mats and some bench seating. The only recommendation I have is maybe having them change out the beach mats as some were old. Definitely bring your snorkeling gear as there was plenty of fish in the sea. Bring extra towels and clothes so you can change when you arrive to simena island. They give you an hour break there and you can capture a view of sea turtles. Dont forget the sunscreen and water! It gets super hot swimming in the sun and laying on the beach mat.

They were more than accommodating and, with their usual friendly service, booked us in. Unusually, it was £1 cheaper than last year thanks to the great exchange rate.
