Sunset Boat Tour in Bodrum: Swim, Fish & Dinner

You fish and swim in the same bay where you eat dinner as the light goes.

A private sunset boat tour departing Bodrum at 5:30 pm takes you to Karaada or Akvaryum Bay for three hours of swimming, fishing and snorkeling before returning at 8:30 pm. Snorkeling equipment, fishing rods and life jackets are on board. Dinner is served with a choice of fish, meatball or chicken. An English-speaking captain and sailor assist throughout.

Step-by-step itinerary

Sunset boat tour with swimming and dinner

• Depart from pier at 5:30 pm
• Anchor at Akvaryum Bay or Karaada
• Swim, fish, or listen to music
• Enjoy dinner on board
• Watch the sunset and cruise
• Return to pier at 8:30 pm

The experience

The boat leaves the pier at 5:30 pm and heads to one of two bays (Karaada or Akvaryum Bay), where the water stays clear enough to see into it as the light shifts. Once anchored, you decide what the evening holds: swim off the boat, cast a fishing rod into the bay, listen to music, or sit and watch the horizon. Snorkeling gear, fishing rods and life jackets are all there. You use what appeals to you.

Dinner arrives after you've been in the water. You choose between fish, meatball or chicken, each served with salad. The captain and sailor are there to help if you need anything: adjusting a snorkel, untangling a line, or just making sure you're comfortable. You can bring your own drinks and snacks if you want to add to what's served.

As the sun drops toward the horizon, the boat stays anchored so you watch it from the water or from the deck. After sunset, there's a short cruise before heading back to the pier at 8:30 pm. The whole arc (arrival, swimming, fishing, dinner, the light changing) unfolds in one place rather than moving between stops.

Is this one for you?Book this tour if you want to swim and fish in the same bay where you'll eat dinner, rather than moving between separate stops. The private boat and the three-hour window mean you set the pace (stay in the water as long as you want, or relax on deck) without a group schedule pushing you along.

What's the water like for swimming and snorkeling at Karaada and Akvaryum Bay?

Both bays are known for clear water where visibility is good enough to snorkel. The tour anchors in these bays specifically so you can see into the water as you swim and fish.

Can I choose what I do on the boat, or is there a set schedule?

Once anchored, you decide how to spend your time: swim, fish, snorkel, or stay on deck. The boat provides the equipment. You use what you want. Dinner is served after you've been in the water, and the sunset happens as part of the evening, not as a timed stop.

What fishing equipment is included, and do I need experience?

Fishing rods are on board and available to use. The tour doesn't require fishing experience. The captain and sailor can help if you're new to it.

Is snorkeling gear included, and what else is on the boat?

Snorkeling equipment, fishing rods and life jackets are all included. You can use any of them as you wish during the three hours anchored in the bay.

What time does the boat return, and what's included in dinner?

The boat returns to the pier at 8:30 pm. Dinner includes a choice of fish, meatball or chicken served with salad. You choose your option when you book.
