The Experience

One island, a whole day, and no scramble to be anywhere. You are collected in the morning; the time is confirmed the day before, because it depends where you are staying. From the boarding point the day belongs to the sea, and it ends back at your hotel in the afternoon. Suluada gets called the Maldives of Türkiye and the water earns it: coves so clear you can pick out the bottom from the rail. The beach itself is white pebble rather than sand, which is worth knowing before you step ashore. It photographs beautifully and it feels quite different underfoot from a sand beach. You get free time on it as well as swim stops from the boat. Lunch is served on board between swims and is part of the fare, as is the return transfer. Drinks are the single thing sold separately at the bar. We operate this boat instead of reselling someone else's seats, so nothing is charged before the day itself: you pay on board, and you can cancel free of charge up to 24 hours before departure. It suits families. Infants under three travel free, and the swimming happens in coves rather than open sea. What it does not suit is anyone hoping to sit out of the heat, because shade on the island is scarce. A hat, sunglasses, a towel and a strong sunscreen are the difference between a good day and a sore one, and swimwear worn under your clothes saves fuss on board.
