The short answers
- What is the Side deep-sea fishing trip?
- A shared morning at sea on a fishing boat with at most 12 guests, out from 07:00 to 12:30. The captain anchors over the fishing ground, gives out rods, lines and fresh bait, helps each guest with baiting, casting and reeling in, and takes the fish off the hook for you. No food is included; bring your own.
- Do you collect us from our hotel?
- Yes. On the shared trip the transfer is part of the fare from any hotel in the Side belt, Gündoğdu through to Kızılot, and from Manavgat town. On the eve of your trip we message the pickup minute that applies to your hotel; the boat leaves at 07:00. The full list: every area we collect from.
- What does €45 include?
- Your air-conditioned hotel transfer there and back, the fishing trip itself, rods, lines and fresh bait, and the captain's hands-on help. No food is included. Not included: the €5 sea fee per person (cash, on the boat), lunch, cold drinks, personal spending and tips.
- What do children pay?
- Exactly what adults pay. There is one fare per person whatever the age: €45 on the shared trip and €650 on the private boat, plus the €5 sea fee per person in cash on the boat. Children of every age are welcome, and they stay with their parents throughout.
- What time does it start?
- Lines go out with the shared boat at 07:00, and it is alongside the quay again at 12:30; we settle your hotel's pickup minute the day before. The minute for your hotel arrives on the eve of the trip, as a call or a WhatsApp message. For the private boat, the time is agreed with you after you book.
- What fish can we catch?
- Red mullet, sea bass, sea bream and shrimp are common, along with small colourful species and, now and then, a larger fish. These are wild fish, so nobody can promise what bites on a given morning — the captain puts you over the ground and helps you make the most of it.
- Is food or drink included?
- No food is included, and no drinks unless you choose them: for €51 rather than €45 a head, the booking form offers unlimited soft drinks, and cold drinks are also sold on board. Your own snacks and drinks are welcome.
- Can we have a boat to ourselves?
- Yes: private deep-sea fishing puts only your party aboard, at €650 per person whatever the age, plus the €5 sea fee per person in cash on the boat. The start time and the meeting point are agreed with you on WhatsApp after you book. Big game fishing is arranged separately — send us a request.
- How do I pay?
- Nothing is taken online, and we never ask for card details. The fare is settled in euros on the morning itself, and the €5 sea fee per person goes in cash to the boat. Change your mind up to 48 hours before, and it costs you nothing.
- How do I book?
- Choose the date and how many of you are coming, choose your hotel from the list and add a phone number. A booking reference appears straight away, and an e-mail address brings you a written copy as well. Book now.
Before you book
What is fixed now, and what follows
Three short lists: what the fare covers, what we confirm once you have booked, and how the money works. Nothing here goes beyond what the operator actually provides.
In the price
- Collection from your hotel and the ride back, in an air-conditioned vehicle, anywhere in the Side belt
- The deep-sea fishing trip on a shared boat, with at most 12 guests
- Rods, lines and fresh bait for every guest
- The captain's hands-on help: baiting, casting, reeling in and handling the fish
Confirmed after booking
- Your exact pickup time. The boat heads out at 07:00; the evening before, we call or message you with the minute for your hotel and the spot to wait at.
- Where the boat fishes. The captain picks the fishing ground on the day and anchors over it. Fish are wild, so no catch is promised.
- What you spend on board. Cold drinks are for sale on the boat and tips are up to you. Neither is expected, and your own snacks and drinks are welcome.
How the money works
- One extra, stated up front. Beside the fare comes the €5 sea fee per person, paid in cash on the boat. No booking fee, no transfer surcharge.
- Pay on the day, in euros. Nothing changes hands online.
- Cancelling costs nothing as long as it is at least 48 hours before the trip.
- One fare for every age. A child pays what an adult pays: €45 per person on the shared trip.
