from £200€240 per group
Let us show you the Aegean
A family agency on the Turgutreis seafront, selling trips along this coast since 2011. Boats, excursions, the Greek islands and airport transfers.
Turgutreis, not Bodrum town
The agency at the western end of the peninsula
The big booking platforms list a couple of hundred things to do in Bodrum and three in Turgutreis. That is not a verdict on the western villages — Gümüşlük, Yalıkavak, Akyarlar, Bitez — it is a map of where the sellers are. We are here.
The office is on Şevket Sabancı Caddesi, sea side, below the Mandalinci Yelken Hotel. You can walk in, ask about a boat before you book it, and deal with the same person if the wind gets up and the trip has to move.
Day trips
What we run most

Boats
The boats are why you book locally
The day boat leaves Turgutreis harbour at 10:30 and is back by 18:00 — the bays and islands west of the peninsula, lunch on board, and as many swimming stops as the weather allows.
Above that there is a gulet for a week along the coast, a motor yacht for an afternoon, and bareboat if you hold a Day Skipper ticket and have the miles behind you. Those are matched to whatever is free that week and quoted properly, which is why they are not sitting on a shelf with a price on them.
Greek islands
Kos is fifteen minutes from our harbour
The ferry crosses from Turgutreis to Kos town in half an hour, and the catamaran does it in fifteen. You can spend the day on a Greek island and be back for dinner in Turkey.
It is a Schengen border, so it is worth getting right. British passports cross visa-free. Several other nationalities need a Schengen visa arranged well in advance, and the Greek door-visa scheme for the eastern islands is for Turkish passports only. We check that with you before you pay, not at the harbour.
Airport transfers
Someone is there when the flight lands
Three airports serve this coast, measured here from Turgutreis. Two of them are a long drive that people book without checking the distance first.
- Milas–Bodrum Airport (BJV)
- 50 km
- İzmir Adnan Menderes Airport (ADB)
- 250 km
- Dalaman Airport (DLM)
- 180 km
Every vehicle carries a D2 and A1 licence and per-seat accident insurance, and there is a child seat in each one. Under-twos travel free.
Booking
How booking actually works
There is no checkout button on this site. You send a message or you ring, and somebody who knows whether that boat is already full this week answers — in English, Russian, Turkish or German.
They confirm the date, the pickup time, what is included and the final price before anything is paid. If the weather moves a boat trip, the same person tells you.
The number on the shop window
The office line is answered in Turgutreis. The mobile is WhatsApp, Viber and Telegram, and it is the one most people use.
