A must-do in Bodrum is to explore Bodrum bays. Merve feraye boat was large and wide enough for my family of 8 people. Lunch and other treats were great. Everyone should definitely see Bodrum bays. Bays with clear, clean and magnificent colors. It was one of the best days of 2024!!

Thanks to Captain Yusuf for this unforgettable experience! First of all, I liked the Merve feraye boat very much. We had a great time in the magnificent bays of Bodrum!! We had a wonderful lunch on the boat. In short, we had a great time! Among the must do activities in Bodrum!!

We came to Bodrum for 1 day with the Oceania cruise ship port. Merve feraye boat was very close to the our port. We departed at 10:00 in the morning. It was a private tour and I enjoyed it very much. It was nice to have many options for lunch! Fish, meatballs, chicken.. The boat had many possibilities. I connected to the boat’s sound system via Bluetooth and played my own music. The boat crew was amazing!! It was so funnn!!

I really liked this private boat tour, where we had a private boat tour with my family. First of all, the boat crew was fun and friendly. We had the opportunity to swim in the beautiful and clean bays of Bodrum. A delicious lunch was also served on the boat. Many thanks to boat crew for this excellent tour that I liked from start to finish

It was a wonderful boat rental experience for us in Bodrum! It was great to have lunch on the boat. It was a wonderful tour with my family, away from the crowds!!! All travelers should try this special private tour!!

I want to do this tour again! It was the most fun day I had in Bodrum. Boat crew is fun and friendly!! I definitely give this tour 5 stars I recommend it to those who want to explore Bodrum bays, swim and snorkel for 6 hours! Also lunch was very good!!

I booked this tour with my family. The best thing about it is that it’s a private tour. I had a wonderful time with my family. Many thanks to Captain Yusuf, he is polite and friendly. We finished our lunch with pleasure! I think it was the best day we spent in Bodrum! I can’t wait to tour with the boat crew again!!

I spent about 2 weeks in Bodrum. I went to many beaches and rented a boat twice. I decided that the day I really enjoyed the most was the day I rented the Merve Feraye boat. The boat crew was friendly and helpful in every way. Bodrum bays were spotlessly clean and beautiful. I had a wonderful time away from the crowds, especially because it was a private tour.!!

It was a great experience.We swam a lot with my 2-year-old daughter and had a great time. The staff was very attentive, thank you Captain Yusuf.

After reading many reviews online and seeing mixed reviews, I found this trip and it looked to tick all the right boxes although was skeptical. Luckily it was amazing and we had lots of fun as a young British couple on a relaxing holiday. We arrived 40 mins late due to some mix up from my end but all was good and we stopped off at 3 nice swim points and had goggles and snorkels to use. Although not too many fish the water was v. clear. Lunch was also great, having a chicken and fish mix, v. tasty fish with nice skin. We actually set sail early due to a bit of sunburn but all was good! The crew was excellent and very polite and considerate, not chatty but we didn’t expect nor really want that! P.s. the ice cream boat is an amazing idea, and if it comes be sure to get some!

Captain Yusuf and the crew were excellent. They were very friendly and accommodating. The snacks were delicious and they kept the drinks flowing. It was an experience that I won't forget.👍🏻

The staff were incredible and really welcoming and helpful, the experience was great. I will be back again for another trip

We went on the boat ride Merve Feraye and the service was great. You do have to take shoes off, but the service was amazing. The crew would offer to take pictures and did a great job every time. They are very attentive and very kind. Definitely would do it again. Loved it.

We rented the boat on June 27 and our experience was disappointing. After our initial review (2 stars), the main captain (apparently not the operating captain the day we rented) reached out and apologized for the issues. He assured us that such problems would not happen again and was determined to learn more and compensate for the poor experience. This effort is valuable and appreciated, as it shows they care about customer experience and strive to improve it. We have improved the rating to 3 stars now. Below are the details of our initial review. Food Quality The food was very poor. Chicken and fish were fried instead of grilled as expected. The fried food was old and greasy. Tea tasted like it was made with seawater. When we asked a junior assistant about it, he shrugged and told us to ask the person who made it. Safety Concerns While anchored in a bay for lunch, a pirate-themed tourist boat suddenly approached our ship while our children were in the water. The situation was extremely dangerous, and if not for us four men alerting the crew, a terrible accident could have occurred. The other ship's captain didn't respond to our calls, and our own captain took no action to prevent the potential disaster. He didn't communicate with the other boat, call the coast guard, or warn them. Captain’s Conduct The captain seemed hesitant to take action, one could guess possibly due to a business relationship with the other boat's crew (not certain though) We believe the captain was not diligent and trained enough about the safety measures to operate a boat specially for families with minors and kids. When we requested to visit more scenic bays like Akvaryum Koyları, the captain declined, seemingly out of convenience. Boat and Service The boat was spacious enough for 6-10 adults; our group consisted of 8 adults and three kids. The captain was friendly but I believe did not fulfill his responsibilities and was not determined to provide good service. 2 service staff were friendly but didn’t take the training to offer catering and assistance services. Overall Recommendation I wouldn't recommend this boat and captain, especially for families with kids. However with the determination the main captain showed on following up with us to learn more and improve the quality, they might want to to improve things in future.

Great tour my first time in Bodrum on a 2 day stopover. This tour was really good with nice food and there was definitely enough provided, will do it again when I return with my wife.
