The most memorable parts of the trip were everything! The boat was beautiful with lots of space and beautiful sun beds if tanning is your thing. The captain and crew were so friendly and eager to help. They took us to beautiful coves for swimming, snorkeling and a paddle board. We didn’t use the last so can’t attest but it looked nice. The captain was a chef and cook a beautiful meal. There was some confusion about start time, the booking shows 9:00 and that’s when you should arrive. The confirmation text said 10:30, and we arrived at the later time. We were late. Just know the start time is what’s on the original booking.

Maybe we just lucked out, but our family adventure (11 of us) on the water with Captain (& cook) Fazil and his first mate Hasan on the Princess Neyla was the highlight of our Greece Cruise vacation! I was late to the game, having booked the excursion just a week and a half before we were to leave on our trip to Greece from the US. I was hesitant to book at first, but once I saw the reviews I had to get us in on the fun. Fortunately, a boat was available, but since you really don't know to which boat you would be assigned, I had some concerns. Our cruise line offered a similar excursion, but it was for a shorter amount of time and much more expensive, plus this was so much more personal - the 11 of us had the boat all to ourselves. We anchored at three locations to swim and snorkel about. In between, Captain Fazil prepared an incredible authentic Turkish lunch. I read a prior review that mentioned the provision to "upscale" the lunch, so that's what we did; fish option (which Fazil said he caught himself), additional mezes and a wonderful salad. Well worth it. I also read that the boat didn't have any snorkel gear, so I purchased a few masks and snorkels for the group in Bodrum as we walked through town heading to the boat. I also double checked with the booking agent (Onelli Travel) to confirm the snorkel availability, and they stated that only a few items were on board. I think they were commenting generally, as Fazil did have a bunch of snorkels on his boat as well as fins, but I was nice to have a good selection of new ones too. Communication with Bodrum travel and then with Fazil was terse, but good- mostly through the Viator app at home and then via WhatsApp once in Turkey. All in all everyone was happy and had a great time. PS - Sorry for the fuzzed out pictures, but I didn't get my kids permission to post...

Wasn’t sure what to expect from this excursion, we booked it last minute. But it was a wonderful experience, and we loved the fact that it was private and we didn’t have to fight any crowds. The captain and first mate were friendly and fun. We were expecting a little more history as we viewed the sites but completely enjoyed the lunch and the swimming area. The views were incredible.

Easy to get a taxi right outside of cruise port. Communication with tour guide was also great they use WhatsApp. Definitely download beforehand. Boat was older but comfortable. Stopped at three different bays and was able to swim, water was refreshing little windy. Was disappointed in lunch that was served. Very uninspiring grilled fish ( lots of bones) grilled chicken, pasta, dolmas, and a really bad cucumber salad. I had read other reviews that talked about what a great lunch that was served it was definitely a different captain and boat. Not that I was concerned but no one talked about life preservers in case of an emergency. We were encouraged to take a swim but I had to ask for noodles for me and the wife as I am not a strong swimmer and the swim to the beach was quite a distance with choppy water. We were able to do the swim with the help of the flotation device. I think it would be better to have a tube or something to float around in. They did have snorkel and mask. When you book through here it is clearly luck of the draw as far as being assigned a tour operator and boat. It was just myself and my wife so maybe if you have more people in your party you would get a better boat and experience. To be honest I was disappointed in the excursion because I read so many glowing reviews before I booked it.
