Michael R.
We booked a private tour for 18 passengers, and everything from hotel pickup to drop-off exceeded our expectations. The crew were friendly, always smiling, and went out of their way to make sure we had a good time. The yacht was clean, well maintained, and spacious enough to stretch out without feeling crowded. We stopped four times, with plenty of time to swim and relax at each stop. One bay had crystal clear turquoise water, and they served a delicious lunch on board at one of the stops. Booking through Whatsapp was easy, the captain and owner speaks good English, and replies came quickly. For what the package includes, the cost per person is great value. I was hesitant to book because there were zero Google reviews, but after researching I found all their positive reviews on Tripadvisor under the hotel brand “Hotel Istankoy”, which is also the yacht's name. I highly recommend Hotel Istankoy as your first choice for a Bodrum boat tour. Ask for Gokay, the owner and captain. Thanks again to Gokay and the crew, they did an amazing job.

Over the six hours, we made four stops and had lots of time to swim, take in the views, and chat with the other people aboard. Lunch, biscuits, and tea were provided, and beer and soft drinks were available to buy at reasonable prices. We had a lovely time on the boat tour, and the whole crew were super nice and accommodating. I'd highly recommend it!

The boat was beautiful, clean, and tidy, and the fish lunch was amazing. Hotel Istankoy made the trip perfect, especially Captin Hasan and his helper Mostafa. They were always smiling and ready to help. We even asked for a small boat to take non-swimmers down to the water, and they did it with a smile while everyone admired our Beautiful Classical Woody Boat. We stopped at four bays, though it was supposed to be only three. The turquoise water was a dream, swimming above the fish. The Cave of Minerals cost an extra 3$, and it was worth it. I felt bad that I didn't have cash to tip. I always use my Visa machine card and didn't have good cash as a gift for them. They never asked, but I understand tipping is normal in Turkey. Thank you very much, Captin Hasan, for the amazing seven hours. We love you guys and will miss you. We'll definitely do it again. That's how you do a boat trip, five stars for the crew, because it's always about the crew, not the company.

Clear turquoise water, a friendly captain and team, and a super clean boat with a bathroom made for a great trip. You get your money's worth on this affordable group tour, and everything was as advertised, with no surprises. Get there early to grab the best spot on the boat.

The crew were joyful and energetic, which made this a trip to remember. We stopped by some amazing blue bays, and the food was good, slightly better than what I've had on other boat trips. I'm so glad we picked this one!
