Title: small party boat trips
Post by: goon3r1 on August 04, 2015, 20:31:22 PM
Hi All,
coming out to Calis Beach on the 17th August with my family and cant wait. Its 6 yrs now since last visiting the area, so expecting many changes. Staying at Club E for 2 weeks. Anyway, are there any boats that take small parties out for the day from the canal area, if so what are the rough costs. Absolutely enjoyed these trips on our last visit to Calis. Any info would be great to know..

regards, Steve

Some - Jerry for example - charge for the boat. Even if you want it for just the two of you and you pay the day rate, absolutely no problem.

As scunner says - you can hire boat for a day rate.

You may want to have a look at www.sugarsboattours.com - a splendid day out.

If you have a date in mind I can check availability for you.

Cleopatra so baths as far as I know are 'privatised' now .
This probably isn't the right term, but I asked recently and was told general boat trips aren't allowed anymore.

If you go to the desk at the Calis boats you can book a boat trip there.
It's around 45/50 tl each and they will slot you in and usually have a maximum of around 12 people.
Minimum is 10 to get that price each.

Highlander -

Thanks very much for the offer, but we are not sure as to what days we want to do trips. Although we are looking to do at least 2 trips per week for our stay in Calis..

Took a trip with Sugarsboat yesterday.  We were curtailed somewhat by the choppy conditions, but Sukru/Sugar is an excellent host.  He  is  a Calis local and genuinely cares about the area. The food he laid on was brilliant. He is rightly proud of the food he makes The meat eaters all remarked upon how good the liver was in particular. He even forages for wild mushrooms and makes his own wine (which is definitely worth a try).


Thanks for a great recommendation and also highly recommended by me.

I often worry when recommending things on here that they won't turn out as well as I expected.

So it's very gratifying when things work and it's even more pleasing when the recipient of the recommendation takes the time to say thank you.

Glad you had a lovely trip villain.   :)
