Turkey · BOAT TOURS IN MARMARIS
Good boat tours in Marmaris fill up weeks ahead; the great ones go first. Below: the 15 to book early, what each includes and how they differ.
Marmaris boat trip with hotel pickup, unlimited drinks, BBQ lunch, snorkeling stops, and a Turunç break on the Memories pirate-style boat.
“Amazing trip, plenty of free time, lovely swimming stops, staff where all very friendly and approachable! Great touch with pool noodles and life jackets on request for non-strong swimmers.”
Marmaris boat cruise with hotel pickup, BBQ lunch, unlimited soft drinks, and swim stops at Heaven Island, Aquarium Bay, Turunc.
“It was a bit disappointing as there was only 2 swim stops and a stop at turunc. The trip was not what we expected and then there was a big problem when trying to dock at marmaris at the end. The captain made 3 or 4 attempts to dock, and he hit another boat while trying to dock. This wasted about 1 hour at the end. So it wasn't ideal.”
Full-day Dalyan cruise from Marmaris with mud baths, Iztuzu Turtle Beach, Lycian tomb views, and lunch on board. 9 hours, $35.
“I would really recommend this trip. It was a great day out - beautiful scenery and absolutely worth the money!”
Cruise Dalyan’s canal, swim at Iztuzu Beach for turtles, visit Kaunos tombs, and soak in Sultaniye mud baths from Marmaris, with pickup and lunch.
“A fantastic trip. Loved the boat trip and the timings were great Turtle beach was great (but busy) The boat crew and guide were excellent but …. The coach driver was driving with one hand using a phone on a coach which had no speedometer and had a STOP sign permanently on his dashboard - and a full length crack up the windscreen. It did feel a little sad for such a poor standard of coach and driving with such a wonderful trip otherwise”
A 7-hour Marmaris gulet cruise with free sunbeds, onboard lunch, and swims at Phosphorus Cave, Paradise Island, and Turunç.
“what an excellent way to pass the day. Beautiful scenery, chicken with pasta lunch on the boat then and stop to take in the scenery. Swimming was great, steps down to water not 100% suitable if mobility is a challenge”
Marmaris to Akyaka and Yuvarlakcay in one day, with the Azmak river cruise, Lovers’ Road, royal graves, swimming, and lunch.
“Good day trip, our guide was very nice and professional. Personally I would have loved to spend more time in Akaya because there is a nice beach, some shops and good coffe places.”
Relax on a Marmaris boat trip to Cleopatra Island and stunning bays, with lunch, unlimited soft drinks, and roundtrip transfers.
“Amazing trip Cleopatra island was great had 2 hours there and then 3 more stops where boat anchored and we got out and swam. Trip included bus trip to marina and back home , soft drinks , tea/coffee and included lunch which was salad , spaghetti and chicken . Overall amazing trip and well worth the money , staff were great 😀”
Full-day Gulf of Gokova boat trip to Cleopatra Island from Marmaris or Icmeler, with swim stops and lunch on board.
“I really enjoyed this boat trip, Cleopstra island for 2 hours was amazing and such lovely water. I enjoyed how there were many other stops afterwards every 15/20 mins since it got hot quickly! Was very worth the money, one thing i’d say the food is mediocre, just chicken snitzel, unseasoned spaghetti and salad, if you wanted fish/prawns/ chips it cost extra. Other than that it was a great trip and i’d recommend!”
Pirate-ship cruise from Marmaris with hotel pickup, 4 swim stops, BBQ lunch, and unlimited soft drinks, beer, and wine for $32.

A classic Marmaris pirate boat day with Phosphorus Cave wishes, multiple swim stops, and BBQ chicken lunch plus unlimited soft drinks.
“We booked this boat trip via TripAdvisor and had an amazing experience. Although our hotel wasn’t on the pick-up list, the organiser contacted me on WhatsApp and quickly arranged everything. Great communication from the start! The crew on board were friendly and welcoming—no pressure to buy extras, just a fun and relaxed vibe. We had unlimited soft drinks, and lunch was simple but tasty: chicken, pasta, and salad. There were plenty of swim stops in beautiful spots, fun music and dancing, and even time to shop and explore at a local port. Everything was well organised and ran smoothly. This trip was a real highlight of our holiday—great for families,…”
Pirate boat day in Marmaris with transfers, BBQ lunch, swimming and snorkeling, Phosphorus Cave, Turunç village, games and foam fun.
“There were really mixed reviews and was apprehensive but overall we really enjoyed ourselves. Our 12 and 16 year old loved jumping off the boat. Looking round the little village port was my highlight. The staff were friendly and attentive and we got some great photos! Food was surprisingly good and felt overall the trip was good value for money. Would recommend for a lovely day out.”
Marmaris all-inclusive boat trip with BBQ lunch, unlimited soft drinks, swim stops, and the glowing Phosphorus Cave.
“Super gewesen. zuvorkommend unkompliziert. wir mussten auf Gäste warten und sind verspätet abgefahren. dafür könnten die nichts. der Shuttle war verspätet. Alle die sich an Bord sonnen wollen, sind hier richtig. In Buchten angehalten um zu baden. auf dem Ticket stand das Boot nicht. Aquarium heißt es. würde ich auf jeden Fall weiter empfehlen. schöner Trip”
Marmaris pirate boat trip with Davy Jones route, multiple swim stops, lunch, unlimited soft drinks, and hotel transfers.
“Booked this as my daughter who was visiting had already booked previously for herself, and 3 children aged 15, 10 and 8. To be honest I wasn't looking forward to it. But how wrong I was, it was a fantastic atmosphere, playing Turkish, British & Russian music, all dance tunes. There was a foam party, my grandson loved it, I even joined in with the dancing and I'm 61. Lunch was really nice, chicken, pasta & salad with fresh bread, if you wanted chips you had to pay extra, and also extra for kids slush drinks. There was plenty of swim stops and a stop in Turunç for swimming/beach or…”
7-hour Marmaris pirate cruise with a Davy Jones themed boat, 4 swimming stops, lunch, unlimited soft drinks, and kids entertainment.
“We booked this excursion for 10 people celebrating a hen party , pick up was on time and taken to the harbour, on which we was shown our boat , there were no outside sun beds available for us as all taken , we had a few stop off for swimming and one for shopping , entertainment was poor , there was no foam party as advertised on my booking , which was the reason for booking and was stuck inside for most of the trip , it really was not worth booking , we all were very disappointed and would not recommend this trip to anyone .”
