Was very worth the money, one thing i’d say the food is mediocre, just chicken snitzel, unseasoned spaghetti and salad, if you wanted fish/prawns/ chips it cost extra. Other than that it was a great trip and i’d recommend!”

“Good boat trip, however 2 issues with what is a advertised on booking... First - pick up point stated 'by pier close to Poseidon Hotel', therefore I did not book the option with transfer as believed I could walk to location within 2mins. But on confirmation email and whats app was told it meets at Marmaris Harbour! 30mins walk! So I did require a transfer. They advised the pier by poseidon Hotel is OLD location so they need to update this. Second - website advertised itinerary states 6 stops. We only went to 4. Missed out 2 so feel this should be updated to reflect this aswell. I booked this…”

It was rammed, ALOT of extra charges - ice creams, water melons, chips (lunch was provided but chips are extra) photography was quite expensive. I found it cheeky and awkward they went round asking for money for staff as tips at the end of the trip. The boat itself looks impressive from the outside, however super rundown! The bottom step for the toilet was rotten and my 4 year old slipped and hurt herself on the bottom step. Staff…”
