Quick answer
A quiet six-hour fishing morning off the Side coast, capped at twelve guests, with every rod, line and fresh bait supplied and a simit-and-tea breakfast served as the sun comes up.
This is the un-excursion: no foam, no playlist, just lines in the water and the Mediterranean waking up. Pickup from your Side hotel comes early — the exact collection time is confirmed personally after booking — because first light is when the fishing is best and the sunrise does its finest work.
The boat carries a maximum of twelve guests, so everyone gets rail space, elbow room and real time with the captain, who supplies all professional tackle, lines and fresh bait and happily shows first-timers how to hook, cast and reel. From small, colourful fish to the occasional bigger surprise, hardly anyone motors home without a catch.
Breakfast on deck is properly Turkish: warm simit with hot tea, poured while the coast slips by. Lunch is not part of this trip, so bring your own snacks, meals and cold drinks if you like — that is genuinely welcome — or buy cold drinks from the small bar on board.
Experience counts for nothing here, in the nicest way: the captain baits hooks, untangles lines and celebrates every catch, so children, complete novices and lifelong anglers all fish side by side. All ages are welcome aboard, and the small group keeps the deck calm rather than crowded.
We collect from hotels in Side, Kumköy, Evrenseki, Çolaklı, Titreyengöl, Sorgun, Gündoğdu, Kızılağaç, Kızılot. Staying somewhere else along the coast? Message us and we will tell you honestly whether we can reach you.
