There is no long form to fill in and no phone queue to sit through. A seat on the daily trip that leaves Gümbet harbour at 10:30 can be held through a single chat thread. Below is the Bodrum boat trip WhatsApp booking flow, from the first message you type to the confirmation you receive.
What to Have Ready Before You Write
If the conversation starts with the right details, it ends in two messages. Sort these out first:
- Your preferred date, plus a backup day if you have one
- Number of passengers and, for children, their ages (0-6 free, 6-12 half price)
- Your hotel and district: the shuttle is included for hotels in Gümbet, Bitez and Ortakent
- A number where you can be reached, and any special occasion worth mentioning
The Booking Flow, Step by Step
- Message +90 536 306 6359; a short greeting is enough to start.
- Give the date and group size so availability can be checked. The boat takes 100 people.
- You receive the total in writing, calculated at 1,500 TL per person.
- Choose how to pay; card and bank transfer are both available.
- Once payment is seen, a confirmation message closes the booking.
In busy weeks, writing early in the morning speeds up the reply. What to do when a date is already full is covered in our guide to finding a free seat at short notice.
What the Confirmation Contains
The reply is more than a simple yes. It lists the date, the number of guests, the amount paid, the meeting point and the transfer details. Your hotel pick-up time depends on where you are staying and is stated in that message. If you make your own way there, being at the pier around 10:15 is enough. To picture the deck in advance, browse the photos from on board.
Price, Discounts and Group Questions
Ask openly in the same thread: group terms for larger parties, the ticket advantages that open in certain periods and arrangements made for student groups can all be discussed there. Lunch is part of the price: chicken, pasta and salad served at Ada Boğazı. Drinks are not included and are paid separately at the deck bar, which is worth knowing while you plan your budget.
Changes, Cancellation and Small Print
If your plans shift, write in the same chat; you will not have to explain everything again. Refunds are possible up to 3 days before the tour date. Towels are not provided, so bring your own, and pets cannot come aboard. The boat is back at the same pier at 17:00. If you are after a quiet day at sea, be aware that the DJ set lifts the tempo after lunch, and this programme may simply not suit you.
