Title: Shared Boat Trips
Post by: Big Doug on June 07, 2019, 11:10:05 AM
Hi All,

Normally we use the same people for our boat trip that we love to go on during most visits as we can normally muster up enough people to make it worth hiring out a private boat trip.

Just wondering if anyone would recommend any company/boats that do shared trips (not large number trip, don't want to use the big boats etc)

Any thoughts ideas would be appreciated.

 ;D

He usually has no more than 20 on the boat - its certainly never too full to enjoy.

Would agree with Ian - we have done a few shared trips with Sugar and it's all good. We generally find we know some of the others though :D

Never had a problem.

We are out from the 10th, but a couple of friends are joining us on the 14th and we would like them to join us making four, but would have been a great idea if at the same time.

You do need to be careful who you share a boat trip with

Whilst in Fethiye we met a nice family holidaying from Mogadishu and decided to share a boat trip with them

Unfortunately it turned out they were Somali pirates and after only 300m from Fethiye harbour they seized control of the vessel robbed the money from the ice cream sales, and changed course for Shevalier Island

We had to jump overboard and swim back to shore under a hail of  small ice cold water bottles

Let this be a lesson to always check out potential boat trip sharers at the maritime criminal records office before you sail
 
Next year I wont even use the water taxi and I will always just get the dolmus to Calis

At least they weren’t throwing bottles of Efes at you, now that would be a waste.

We are looking forward to our trips with captain sugar ,
But we also had a nice time with Carol and Tayfun trips,
Value for money , not a mad loud boat,quite small and lovely personal service.
