Choose the departure point

Boats leaving central Datça and boats based at Palamutbükü may explore different stretches of coast. Tell the operator which bay interests you and ask whether conditions allow a stop there that day.

Time on board

Ask about the swim ladder, shaded seating and whether lunch is included. If travelling with a child, confirm that a life jacket in the right size is available when you book.

Boat tour operators

Compare the departure ports and routes. Ask the operator whether the bay you want to visit is on the itinerary for your date.
