Notes from the sea

Payment Options: Card, Bank Transfer, Cash

After the price, the next question is almost always the same: how do I actually pay? At Bodrum Party Boat, card payment, bank transfer and cash at the pier all work. Which one suits you depends on how many days are left before the tour and how many people you are booking for. Below, the Bodrum boat tour payment options are listed one by one, with the advantages and the small print of each.

1. Credit or debit card

Paying by card is the fastest way to lock in a seat. Your booking is confirmed the moment the transaction goes through, the total is calculated at 1,500 TL per person, and child rates are applied in the same step: free for ages 0-6, half price for ages 6-12. A card record also keeps the refund process tidy, since you may cancel up to three days before the tour date.

2. Bank transfer

Transfers are usually the choice of larger groups. One person sends the full amount, shares the receipt, and the passenger list is confirmed in return. Timing is the only thing to watch: over weekends and public holidays a transfer can take longer to land, so do not leave it to the last day. Our piece on how couples plan an anniversary at sea shows why booking early pays off for a fixed date.

3. Cash at the pier

You can also pay in cash on the morning of the tour at Gümbet Harbour. Departure is at 10:30, so being at the pier around 10:15 is enough; check-in and payment are handled there. Capacity is 100 guests, though, and in busy weeks you still need to reserve your place in advance even if you intend to pay cash. The rules for paying on the day are summarised in a separate article.

Confirm these before you pay

  • Included: lunch (chicken, pasta, salad) and hotel transfer for Gümbet, Bitez and Ortakent.
  • Not included: drinks. The deck bar serves alcoholic and soft drinks at separate prices.
  • Towels are not provided, so bring your own.
  • State your headcount and the ages of any children up front so the total is correct.

What happens after payment

Your confirmation message carries the meeting point and transfer details; the pickup time is set according to your hotel location and shared when the booking is confirmed.
