We used to use Toms boat regulary until a couple of years ago, when he seemed to loose the plot. A group of us went with him for the day but instead of his wife accompanying him he had a girlfriend instead, anyway to cut a long story short towards the end of the trip they started arguing in front of us all as if we weren't there.It was very embarrassing for all concerned and then to top it all he got phone call from the wife to say she would be waiting when we docked so we then had to drop girlfriend off in the marina. Despite this we went again on another holiday, but this time after we had lunch , he took to the sea in a rubber ring drinking raki and smoking god knows what from a Shisha pipe and flirted outrageously with girls on a neighbouring boat. Eventually we had to ask him if we could move to another location as this was the only stop wed done and we had. been there for a very long time whilst he enjoyed himself. We all said that was the last time we would hire him as there were so many other boats that do a brilliant job. We have a boat hired for next Monday Gemo 1 from Calis, been several times now with them and its brilliant.

We have just come back and went on Sugar's Boat Trip . We had great time , only a small boat but the food was amazing. The boat leaves from Fethiye and they pick you up and take you back. It is moored opposite the Kismet Bar or if you don't know where that is if you get the water taxi from Calis to Fethiye go left along the prom to the new square , stay on the prom for about 50 yards and it is there.

We have just returned and went on a boat trip which we booked through the water taxi reception at Calis.
We have previously been with several of the others including Jerry's and would say that this one compared very well. Cant remember his name as we left the particulars in our apartment but think that his name was "borak". There is a borak1 and a borak2, we went on 2.
Hope this helps :D

We have always gone with "big" Ali from the water taxis. His wife Elvan makes a wonderful lunch and Ali's English is very good. Lovely day out.

We went out with our neighbours on Captain Tom's boat last year and had a wonderful time. Mind you, I suspect that was almost in spite of him rather than because of him. He was hilarious with all his stories of his Turkish wife and his Russian girlfriend but we would think twice about taking our party of teenage girls out on his boat this summer. We did, as I said, have a wonderful time though. We adore our neighbours and Tom did us a wonderful barbecue with delicious chicken and salad while we had a long swim in a very warm ocean and watched the sun go down. Lovely evening.

Sugar boat every time for me !! ;D 8)

We went with Tom last year. No issues although he asked if his two nieces could come with us and it wasn't a problem if we said no.
Had a great time, food was good.
He is definitely a colourful character which added to the trip.
I would go with him again

A party of us went out with Ali and another boat yesterday. Girls on one boat men on Ali's. It was intended to be a girls vs boys day, pirate flags, water fights etc. Ali and his friend joined in with the fun (in fact Ali was the first with a water pistol in his hand) and we had a great day. The food on both boats was excellent and we had a fantastic day. His details are;

We use Toms boat if there is up to 8 of us and always have a very good time with him. We also use Tulay's boat out of Calis and that is very good. His family do amazing food and nothing is too much trouble. We have had trips with him with up to 16 peoplke on board and still plenty of space.

I now want to go on a boat trip with this Tom dude. Seems you get a good boat trip and Turkish soap opera for the same price. Excellent. 8)

We went on Tom's boat quite a few years ago now - just a few of us, after we had all decided to go on a try dive with one of the dive boats and to a man (/woman) bottled it at the last minute. We made a hasty retreat from that boat and looked for one that was more beer and wine than air tank and wetsuit.
Having negotiated the price, and the drinks prices, we had a great day. Tom was good fun but the antics must have come later in his life as we were treated to no dramas at all. Maybe we didn't pay enough.

hi,just got back from calis and enjoyed a great boat trip with ali from the water taxi,nothing was too much trouble and he asked when you had enough of one place and would move to another bay.we have been on several boat trips and can honestly say the food was the best we have ever had,cant recommend him highly enough. brian

Thank you for these helpful replies.
We (me plus 4 family) will be in Calis (first time) for 10 days at the beginning of August and my plan is to enjoy two diufferent boat trips.
Ali (Water Taxi)
Sounds a safe bet.
Where do we find him, is it in Calis, o do we get his WT to Fethiye (seems odd)?
How much should we expect to pay?
Presuming we will share with others.
Book in advance?
Tom
50/50 on him
Thought his boat was Summer Breeze yet some are referring to Sugar Boat
Same questions as Ali.
Will they do different trips?
Thanks again.

Any views? Please?

I have put Ali's details on page 1 of this thread. He operates from Calis.
