A Boat Trip from Gumbet / Bodrum

Image
A review from a guest staying at Flamingo Country Club The boat is located in Bodrum harbour (second bay) and was in great condition, was able to cope with 18 people very easily. We were provided with lunch (included in the boat hire price), had a bus pick up from the Flamingo resort and were returned there afterwards (price for transport charged separately). Our boat trip lasted from 11 am until 5 pm and was excellent. We made 5 stops along the way, were fortunate to have Mark (owner) on board who was a great host. Mark is Turkish , grew up in Australia and now bases himself out of Bodrum, Turkey (4-5 months); Amsterdam (3 months) and Los Angeles( 3 months) a year. I recommend him and his boat Co very highly (he has 2 boats and is looking to acquire another one). Total cost for the boat hire for the day was Euro 550. We paid a bit extra as we stayed longer on the boat. Drinks were provided on board and we payed separately for these http://www.theoutbackbar.com/boattrips.htm...
