Captain Bullshit — Içmeler's Most Talked-About Boat Trip
The name stops people in their tracks. Then they read the reviews — consistently among the highest rated boat trips on the Marmaris coast — and they book it anyway. By the end of the day, they understand exactly why it works.
Calendar & Price
Captain Bullshit is a family operation based out of Içmeler harbour, run by Mel, Cem and a crew that has been looking after guests for decades. Many of the people on any given departure are returning visitors — some coming back for the third or fourth time on the same holiday, others who have been booking the same trip every summer for years. That level of loyalty doesn't happen by accident.
The boat departs from Içmeler every morning with hotel pick-up included. The route follows the Marmaris coastline through a series of bays and coves — three swimming stops with enough time at each to actually explore the water rather than just dip your feet. Swim aids are available on board for anyone who wants them. The stops are well chosen: clear turquoise water, pine-covered hills dropping straight to the sea, the kind of places that don't appear on tourist maps.
Lunch is served on board — chicken, pasta, salad and meatballs — and then there's the cheesecake. The homemade strawberry cheesecake has developed its own following on TripAdvisor and it earns every mention. Optional extras like chips and onion rings are available at prices most guests describe as fair. Drinks are served throughout the day at bar prices that compare well with anything in town.
After the swim stops, the boat pulls into Turunç for a shore break — time to walk the village, browse the market, or sit by the water before heading back along the coast to Içmeler.
The atmosphere on board is warm without being forced. The crew know most guests by name by lunchtime and treat first-timers exactly the same way. No hard sell, no pressure. Just a well-run day on genuinely beautiful water.

Tour Plan
- Transfer from Hotel
Our agency uses comfortable, air-conditioned minibuses and minivans to transfer guests from hotels to the port of Marmaris. At the time indicated on your voucher, one of our friendly drivers will pick you up from your hotel and take you to the ship.
- Start of the Marmaris Boat Trip
Your journey begins right in the heart of Marmaris, where you'll soak up a breathtaking view of the fortress, the marina, and the city centre. This is your chance to capture Marmaris in all its glory with some truly stunning photos!
- Paradise Island
Your first stop is the fantastic Paradise Island, right opposite the Marmaris seafront. Get ready to swim in the sparkling, crystal-clear waters of the Aegean Sea! Then jump off the boat and take some amazing photos!
- Phosphorus Cave
Next on our adventure is the incredible Phosphorus Cave! It's unique because, even in the dark, the phosphorus illuminates the cave with a magical greenish-blue glow, giving the water a stunning hue.
- Lunch at Aquarium Bay
We're going to have lunch at one of the most beautiful coves you could imagine! It's called Aquarium Bay, and it's got transparent water because of the amazing depth of 20 metres. You can see the sea bottom and watch fish swimming! We'll have lunch first, and then you'll have another 30 minutes for swimming.
- Kumlubuk Beach
After lunch, we'll be setting off again! Our next stop is the stunning Kumlyubuk beach, where you can enjoy swimming in warm waters and sunbathing on a pebble beach. It's a great spot for relaxation, and it's also known as Dutch Beach!
- Turunc Village
Next up is the shopping stop! The village of Turunc is famous for its incredible market, open on Mondays, and hundreds of amazing souvenir shops on other days. You can take a leisurely stroll along the picturesque streets of the resort or relax on the beach.
- Green Sea
We'll be ending our swimming adventure at the stunning Green Sea Bay, named for its gorgeous emerald hue. Then, our ship will head to the port of Marmaris. After dancing and fun, you'll be back at the starting point of the tour. We'll have mini-buses waiting to take you back to your hotels in Marmaris and Icmeler in just 15 minutes!

5Done boat trips in Croatia, Greece and Turkey and this is the best of all of them. The Captain Bullshit crew are exceptional — they make you feel like you’re on a trip with friends rather than customers. Three beautiful swim stops, a great lunch, and that legendary cheesecake. The stop in Turunç is perfectly timed. Extraordinary value for what you get. Book it.

5We were nervous about the name but everyone said it was the best boat trip in Içmeler — and they were completely right. The crew are wonderful, warm and funny. The swim stops are in gorgeous bays. The lunch is delicious. And the homemade strawberry cheesecake is extraordinary. We went back twice more before the end of our holiday. The best day out in Turkey.
Paul Nolan
4Good value, well run. The boat is clean, the crew are friendly, and the route visits some beautiful spots. Three swim stops with enough time to properly enjoy the water. Lunch was filling and tasty. The famous cheesecake is very good. Drinks available at the bar throughout the day at reasonable prices. An hour in Turunç village was a nice touch. Would recommend.
Linda Forsyth
5Absolutely the best boat trip in Içmeler. The crew work so hard all day to make sure every single person has a good time. The swim stops are in beautiful clear water. Lunch is lovely. And the strawberry cheesecake — I dream about it in the winter. Been on this trip seven times over the years and I’ll keep coming back as long as they keep running it.
Ciaran Kelly
5Heard about this from other people at our apartment complex and booked it the same day. Best decision of the holiday. The crew are a family operation and it shows in every detail. The bays they visit are stunning, the food is excellent and plentiful, and the homemade cheesecake is something else entirely. Three swim stops and Turunç. Will be booking again next year without question.

5This was our third trip on the Captain Bullshit and it’s as good as ever. What makes it different from other boats is the crew — they genuinely care about making your day special. First-timers and regulars get exactly the same warmth. The cheesecake is as good as advertised. The swim stops are in gorgeous spots. An hour in Turunç is the perfect break. Brilliant.
Darren Hughes
4Good trip, well organised. The boat was clean and comfortable, the crew were friendly and helpful throughout. Three nice swim stops and a visit to Turunç village. Lunch was decent — chicken, pasta, salad. The strawberry cheesecake everyone talks about is genuinely delicious. Drinks are available at the bar at fair prices. Would recommend to anyone staying in the area.

5I’ve been coming to Içmeler for fifteen years and this boat trip is the reason I keep coming back. Mel and her crew are like old friends at this point. The food is always excellent, the bays are always beautiful, and the cheesecake is always the highlight. It’s a simple formula but nobody does it better. Highly recommended for all ages.

5Me and a group of mates did this on our last day and it was the best thing we did all holiday. The crew are brilliant — funny, welcoming and they work incredibly hard all day. Swim stops in gorgeous bays, a proper lunch, and that famous cheesecake at the end. Drinks are served all day at fair prices. Nothing pretentious about it, just a genuinely great day on the water.
Joanne Cartwright
4Really enjoyable day out. The crew are friendly and attentive without being pushy. Three swim stops in beautiful clear water, a good lunch on board, and time in Turunç to wander around. The drinks aren’t all-inclusive in the traditional sense but the prices are very reasonable — much cheaper than the bars in Içmeler. The cheesecake alone is worth the trip.
Stuart McAllister
5Fourth time on this boat in as many years and it never disappoints. The crew remember you, the food is consistently good, and the bays they take you to are stunning. The cheesecake is legendary for a reason. If you’re staying in Içmeler and you only do one excursion, make it this one. Best value boat trip on the coast.
Tracy Hammond
5The name made us laugh when we first heard it, but everyone at our hotel said to book it — and they were absolutely right. Mel and the crew are wonderful. The whole day felt personal rather than like a conveyor belt trip. Three beautiful swim stops, a genuinely lovely lunch, and the strawberry cheesecake is everything people say it is. Already booked it again for next week.
