Small boat, short list
Twelve guests at most, which is the reason for the fare. There is no foam party and no music programme. You drink tea, eat a simit on deck and wait for the captain to pick the spot.
If you have never held a rod
That is expected. Complete beginners are as welcome as anyone who fishes at home. The captain shows you how to bait the hook, how to cast and how to reel in, and stays close enough to help with whatever you bring up. You can bring your own tackle, but nothing is required.
What you might catch
Sea bream, red mullet, shrimp and sea bass come up here, along with smaller colourful fish and now and then something heavier. We will not guarantee any of it. The sea decides, and the captain's job is to give you the best chance.
Food and drink
Breakfast is simit and hot tea. There is no lunch on this tour, and that suits an early finish, but food and cold drinks of your own are allowed on board. Cold drinks are also on sale if you would rather travel light.
A short day, on purpose
With an early-afternoon return to the hotel, this tour leaves the rest of the day free for the beach, the pool or a late lunch somewhere in Side. It also pairs well with a longer boat day later in the same week: the fishing trip is the only tour here where nothing depends on a party or a programme, so it makes a different kind of memory from the others.
What to bring and how to book
Sun cream, a hat, sunglasses, and a camera ready for whatever you land. Add your date and party below; nothing is charged online, you pay on the tour day and can cancel for free up to 48 hours before.
