Snorkeling in Fethiye: Private boat with fishing and lunch

Enjoy personalized fishing and snorkeling with a crew focused just on you and your pace.

Snorkel and fish from a private boat in Fethiye's northern gulf, with all equipment, lunch, and VIP transfers included. You pick between a full-day escape to Katrancı, Günlüklü and Tavşan Island, or a sunset departure at 16:00 heading toward Kızıl Ada, returning by 20:30. The crew speaks English and Turkish, knows these waters intimately, and keeps the group small enough that you're never crowded out.

Step-by-step itinerary

Full day fishing and island tour

• Fish at Katrancı Bay
• Fish at Günlüklü Bay
• Fish at Kızıl Ada (Red Island)

The experience

What separates this from a shared snorkeling tour is the boat itself: it's yours alone for the day or evening, which means the captain adjusts the route to where the fish are actually biting instead of sticking to a fixed schedule. You'll snorkel in clear water at Katrancı Bay, surrounded by pine forests and shallow reefs where Sea Bream and Sea Bass hold, then move to deeper sites like Kızıl Ada if you want to fish the rocky drops where Snapper patrol. All snorkeling gear comes with you. The boat carries fishing rods too, so you can switch between the two without planning ahead.

The full-day option runs seven and a half hours and covers the northern gulf in one arc: Katrancı's calm, hidden waters, then Günlüklü Bay with its sweetgum trees and sandy seabed where Striped Sea Bream feed, then Tavşan Island for swimming. The sunset option starts at 16:00, heads toward Kızıl Ada as the heat breaks, and gets you back to the harbor by 20:30. Short enough to fit an evening into the rest of your day but long enough to watch the light change on the water and fish the hour when they feed. Lunch is included on the full day (chicken, meatballs, four side dishes, rice, salad). The crew handles VIP transfers from your hotel, and Wi-Fi stays live the whole time so you're not cut off if you need it.

You'll book either with transfers from your hotel or by meeting the boat at the harbor. The crew speaks English and Turkish, and the boat is small enough that you're never waiting for someone else's turn at a spot. Bring sunscreen and a towel. Everything else (snorkeling mask, fins, fishing rod, lunch) is on the boat.

Is this one for you?Book the full-day option if you want to cover multiple bays and have time to explore where the fish congregate. The sunset departure works better if you're fitting this into an evening and prefer a shorter time on the water. Either way, a private boat means the crew adjusts the route to where conditions are best that day instead of following a fixed schedule.

Top questions

What languages is the tour guided in?

Live guide in English and Turkish.

What happens if it rains?

It may be canceled due to bad weather. If that happens, you're offered another date or a refund. Free cancellation up to 24 h before the start.

Can I snorkel and fish on the same trip, or do I have to pick one?

You can do both on the same day. The boat carries snorkeling gear and fishing rods, so you switch between them depending on where you are and what you feel like doing. No advance choice needed.

What's the difference between the full-day and sunset options?

The full-day trip runs seven and a half hours and covers Katrancı, Günlüklü, and Tavşan Island with lunch included. The sunset option starts at 16:00, heads toward Kızıl Ada, and returns by 20:30, so it fits into an evening without lunch.

What fish are actually in these waters?

Katrancı Bay is known for Sea Bream and Sea Bass in shallow, calm water. Kızıl Ada's deep rocky drops hold Snapper and White Sea Bream near the reefs. Günlüklü's sandy seabed is where you'll find Sand Steenbras and Striped Sea Bream.

Does the price include getting to the boat, or do I need to arrange my own transport?

If you book with transfers, VIP pickup from your hotel is included and the boat cost covers it. If you choose to meet at the harbor instead, you arrange your own way there.

What's included in the lunch on the full-day trip?

Lunch includes chicken, meatballs, four different side dishes, vegetable rice, and Mediterranean salad. Drinks and any extras you want to purchase are available on the boat.

Do I need to bring my own snorkeling gear, or is it provided?

All snorkeling equipment is provided on the boat. Bring sunscreen, a towel, and a valid ID. Everything else for snorkeling and fishing is there waiting for you.
