Lunch appears on the price line, drinks do not. For a day trip leaving from Gumbet that gap is the question guests raise most often before booking. So let us answer it plainly: are drinks included in the Bodrum boat trip, and why is it set up this way?
Are drinks included in the fare?
No. Alcoholic and soft drinks alike are sold at the bar on deck for an extra charge. The 1,500 TL per person does not cover any beverage, and we do not offer an unlimited drinks package either. Knowing this before you reach the pier saves you from surprises during the day.
So what does the 1,500 TL cover?
- Departure from Gumbet Harbour at 10:30 and return to the same pier at 17:00, roughly six and a half hours
- Stops of 30-40 minutes at Dalgic Bay, Ada Bogazi, Asiklar Bay and Aquarium Bay
- Lunch served around 13:00 at Ada Bogazi: chicken, pasta and salad
- Hotel transfer for guests staying in Gumbet, Bitez and Ortakent
- Life jackets, safety equipment and insurance
- The DJ set and dance animations
Towels are not on that list, so pack your own. The hour-by-hour flow is laid out on the page describing the day's programme.
Why are beverages charged separately?
Consumption varies enormously from guest to guest. If the cost of drinks were built into the ticket, someone who has two bottles of water would pay exactly the same as someone visiting the bar every hour. Keeping them apart holds the tour price steady for everyone and leaves the rest of the spending under your control.
Is the bar open all day?
The deck bar serves throughout the trip. You can order during the calmer morning stretch when the music sits in the background, and later on when the tempo climbs after lunch. On hot days keep an eye on your water intake, because thirst is easy to miss while you are swimming in the bays. Guests who need extra care can read our separate notes for pregnant travellers.
How should I budget for the day?
Treat the fare and your bar spending as two separate lines, and apply the same logic when comparing offers so you are matching like with like.
