We found this boat trip provider online, we'd never been on a proper one in Turkey and thought we should before we left. We initially tried to book a trip the day before we went but were unable to find the place to book, so went back the next day and found the boat no problem and booked the trip for the following day. We arrived at around 10:30 for a 11:00 departure and met Anel, who was our guide for the day. He introduced himself and was genuinely excellent throughout the day, introducing each stop off, speaking excellent English and professing his love for the England rugby team ahead of their semi final against South Africa (sorry we didn't win Anel ): ). We departed just after 11 after having to wait for the rest of the passengers to arrived and set off for our first stop, Red Bay, around 20 minutes away from Bodrum harbour. We had half an hour here, in which we were able to swim in the properly clear, blue, secluded waters before getting back onboard and heading to Orak Island. After another 20 minutes or so we arrived at Orak Island and stayed here for an hour and a half. Lunch, which was included in the price, was served when we arrived which was lovely and definitely filling enough. Orak Island was absolutely beautiful too and I can see why its called the "Turkish Maldives" with its white sands and almost strangely blue waters. Once we left Orak Island we headed towards German Bay and arrived there within half an hour, all in the comfort of the pillows on the top deck of the boat. German Bay was also very beautiful, and similar to the stop offs before, was full of wildlife. Once that stop off was done with, we finally headed towards Rabbit Bay, which once again was stunning. We stayed here for another half an hour, being served complimentary tea and biscuits, before heading back to Bodrum harbour, seeing the sun go down along the way. We arrived back in Bodrum around 17:30 after a thoroughly enjoying daytrip. The price we were quoted for a TUI branded boat trip from our hotel was 60 euro per person, so having this trip for only 25 euro per person was a complete steal and I'd recommend it to anyone going to Bodrum and looking for a great day out on a boat. The only slight downside was that the drinks are paid but the prices are entirely reasonable anyway. If we go back to Bodrum again in future, we'll certainly coming back again. Thanks Bayside and Tora for a fantastic day!
What an amazing boat trip so easy to book and such a lovely team on board, lunch was absolutely delicious & my boys 17 (nearly!!) & 11 had a brilliant time jumping in the clearest water ive ever seen. We really had a brilliant time and 100% recommend you take a tour.

It was so awesome ! Highly recommend ! Amazing boat, good company, great hosts, absolutely incredible views. It was one of the best days of my life ! Love this company ! A must if you visit Bodrum
The boat trip takes you to four amazing spots to have an awesome time in the Aegean Sea with cristal clear water. The most amazing part for us was not only the spots we visited, but the service of the whole crew: always supportive, attentive, positive and with a smile, unlike the general service you see in other places. Hence, that is unvaluable ! The cleanliness of the boat, and the handling of food was also surprisingly great! Again, not common to see elsewhere. We liked it so much that we came back the next day to take the same day trip! Go for it, you won’t regret it!
