Orak Island and Karaada
The clearest water within an hour of Bodrum, and hot springs in the rock at Karaada. Both are ruined by arriving at eleven with everybody else, which is the whole argument for a private boat.

Which kind of boat?
A gulet, a motor yacht and a day boat cost three different things for the same route, and the right one depends on how many of you there are and whether lunch or speed matters more. Tell us the date and we come back with two or three boats and a price for each.
Common questions
How much is this tour?
It depends on the boat, not the route. A day boat for eight, a gulet for twelve and a motor yacht for ten are three different numbers for exactly this itinerary. Send the date and the number of guests and you get a price for each option in one reply.
Is lunch really included?
Yes, cooked on board at anchor, and so is the fuel and every anchorage fee. There is nothing to pay during the day except drinks from the bar. If somebody is vegetarian, coeliac or halal, say so when you book and not on the morning.
What time does it start and end?
Boarding at 11:00, back alongside about 18:00. On a private boat those times move — if you would rather leave at nine and come back at eight, that is your day, not ours.
How many bays do we see?
3 on this route, and the captain sets the order in the morning from the forecast. A faster boat sometimes fits an extra one in.
