Best boat ip in may? Possible private hire for 8?

[Llondon]

Hi everyone,

I'm trying to find some info n boat trips,

Are there all day trips which include lunch and drinks?

Does anyone have recommendations or prices to hand?

How many people do the boats take out?

There will be 8 of us, it would be great for it to be just us without having to pay a premium

Thanks v much!

I can recommend Romantik - they have two boats and eight of went on the "smaller" one which I think could take twelve as there were that many beds on the deck. I think we paid TL300 in August 2011 which worked out at about £15 a head for the day. Drinks were extra but were not expensive. We had a lovely cooked lunch and at around 4:00 they brought us a huge platter of fresh fruit. There were two crew and they were not in your face at all - which is what we wanted. It was a lovely day out and the swimming/snorkelling was great. We hope to use these guys again when we go back in August this year. Not sure if the rules let me post a web link, but Google Romantik Kalkan.

Everyone on here has a favourite boat....ours is Moby Dick. For most of the smaller boats you could hire them exclusively and all the prices are fairly standard. If you enter boat trips into the search facility you will find lots of info. Enjoy!

I'd recommend Muddy Boat, which I think holds 8, for private hire - we paid £200 last year in the height of the season (August) for 5 of us to have the boat exclusively when it was our youngest daughter's 18th. We had a tremendous day out with an amazing lunch (which included freshly caught Mackerel off the side of the boat) and all the extras like cake and fresh fruit platters. Fahti also provided an amazing birthday cake (FOC) for our daughter. Alcoholic drinks are always extra with these trips, but soft drinks are included  as well as tea and coffee.
Also Chillout is a great boat, but its slightly bigger so you will need to pay for the extra places you are not taking up.

Have to say we would recommend the 2 Moby Dick boats, Deniz and Recep are lovely guys. They really look after you and serve great food. they have a family restaurant as well. Cheers, Allan..

 Hi Llondon.
It seems that Cpt. Ergun is doing a bit of advertising on this thread and a few others!! 
 However my family and I hired his boat for a day in 2010 while we were staying in Kas and I have to say we had a fab day out. The girls really enjoyed the donut rides  (from the little speedboat he has on the main boat) and Kayaks which he supplied, he also took some great underwater pictures of us all free of charge and emailed them to us when we got home. He caught some fish and BBQ'd it to be included in our lunch which was delicious. I was very ill with the dreaded virus the day before (when we should have had our trip) and he very kindly, for no extra charge juggled his bookings around for us.
We have also used  Cpt Abdi's boats Pina X 1 and 2 while staying in Kalkan and can wholeheartedly also recommend these. Reasonable price for personal hire and delicious food all in with the price. With all of the above, the only extras we paid for were the alcoholic drinks and in the case of the Gulsah (Cpt Erguns ), we paid extra for the donut rides but the kayaks were free of charge.
I don't think you can go wrong with any of the gulets in the harbour, they all seem similar, however I can only comment on the ones we have used ourselves.

I've removed the posts that were advertising and explain the rules ,so hopefully it won't happen again. People can advertise free of charge on the Kalkan Directory section on the main website.

Hi Again Llondon,

Yes the smaller boats in the harbour only take 8 so a 'private' booking is easy, and they're the same price per head as the larger ones.  You can wander along the harbour as they come back from a day out or later in the evening to book.  Some have phone numbers or even e-mail to organise for few days ahead.

Personal fave is Sunset II, but their Sunset I is smaller.  Similarly Yildiz I and Zeus are '8ers'.

[kalkan4eva]

the smaller Yildiz boat is no more 
Adem and Osman have two boats that now cater for 12 each.

I think Moby Dick have one boat for 8 and one for 12......always our boats of choice....lovely captains and great food.....they have a facebook page and website so you can book in advance

We would also recommend Moby Dick for private charters, the food has always been excellent and the crew are very friendly
