Boat Trips..

Postby Sunny » 20 Jul 2010 10:09

Hiya, I've been wondering - he's been recommended on here a lot so what makes Cap Bull****s boat-trips so good then?
We did 2 with the Capt. Blackbeard - booked on the beachfront.
He actually went on the lazy day cruise as a guide and was informative, re. a little local Turkish history etc and his dad I think did yoga on the top of a cliff etc.... entertaining and good day out.
The boat was a little overcrowded for my liking though.
We did the Dalyan River day/Tombs/Mud Bath through him and he added a Turkish bath in Marmaris too at a very reasonable price.

We did see the all incy boat trips advertised too though - anyone have any info/prices etc about them?

And charter boats? Anyone done this?

Thank you Tamii, the excursions look interesting.
We're not sure if we want to do more boat trips but just wondered what was out there and who had done what as there seems to be a huge choice.

Fer sure we're not going on another overcrowded boat, athough it was a great trip and a fun day out.

i may have done this boat trip back in 2006 and the thing remembered most was how fit the "old " guy was , he kept the bar,he got the ice creams, and he was doing pilates inbetween the ice creams i really wanted to re book this trip because i had a great time on it, when i first came to Icmeler.

Ali (captain bullshit) only does certain days now so if you want to be on his boat then you should check at the restaurant. I always find you have a really good day with him and his crew :D
He used to do a Sunday Dinner boat trip which was really lovely but I believe its Fish and Chips now, he still does the normal lazy day ones too

If you fancy a boat trip with a difference I would certainly recommend white water rafting. Tried it in June, was the best value trip I've ever been on.

Hi juju,
If you are intending to go on one of Capt Bulls... boat trips in may be better to call into the restaurant to place your booking.
Enjoy your stay at the Dilhan, again, which now is on Facebook.

I to would also like to know more about captain bull***ts boat trips ?? But most important is, does it get overcrowded ie;- are there enough sun beds for all ? As we also did an overcrowded boat trip last year and dont want to make this mistake again !!

Why not try the ICR boat trips - they limit the numbers, so there's no danger of not being able to get a sunbed, and they come very highly recommended too.

madasahatter - I really fancied the white river rafting one but I understood you have to travel on a coach for a couple of hours to get to the activity site?

Captain Bulls....s trips are popular and in my experience not overcrowded - last year though when one trip was busy, they brought on extra sunbeds so there were enough to go round and this year I believe they've extra seating on top of the cabin

Yes, the trips also include breakfast at the restaurant and a minibus ride from there to the jetty

IMHO, we didn't save much by going on other AI trips so we tend to stick to the Captains which you book by calling in the restaurant - if it's going to be busy or if it's full, they'll tell you before you book

You do have to travel for about 2 hours to get to the rafting site. The journey is spectacular. Worth the price of the trip alone.
