Private Deep Sea Fishing in Side: A Boat for Your Party Alone

What you are booking

A private deep-sea fishing trip out of Side, on a boat reserved for your group. The people aboard are the people on your booking, and the morning, or whatever part of the day we settle on, belongs to them.

That is the whole of the product as we can describe it today. We would rather say so plainly than fill the page with details we cannot stand behind. Duration, start time, meeting point, how many people the boat takes, whether a hotel transfer is part of it, what is served aboard and which tackle is used: none of these is published, and every one of them is something we confirm with you before the day.

What we agree with you after you book

As soon as your booking reaches us, we write to you on WhatsApp. That conversation is where the private trip takes its shape. Tell us what you have in mind and we answer with what can be arranged.

• The start time, so your day around it can be planned.
• Where you meet the boat or how you get to it.
• How long you will be out on the water.
• Whether your party size fits the boat we have in mind.
• Anything you want to bring, from your own rods to your own food.
• Anything you would like to ask the captain in advance.

If what we can offer does not suit you, withdraw without cost while more than 48 hours remain. You will have paid nothing in the meantime.

The fare, and the sea fee on top

The private trip is priced per person, not per boat: €650 for each guest, whether that guest is a grandparent or a toddler. There is no separate child fare and no reduction for a larger party.

Beside the fare, every guest pays the €5 sea fee, in cash, on the boat. It is not part of the total shown when you book, and your ticket lists it as the balance still to pay on the day.

Worked out in words: a couple pays 2 × €650, plus 2 × €5 in cash on the boat. A family of four pays 4 × €650, plus 4 × €5 in cash on the boat. The full breakdown for all three trips sits on our fishing tours Side prices page.

Who the private boat suits, and who it does not

It suits a party that wants the water to itself: a family who would rather not fit around other anglers, friends marking an occasion, a keen fisherman who wants the captain's attention without waiting his turn, or anyone who wants to set the day's rhythm with us rather than join a fixed one.

It is a considerable step up in cost from a seat on the shared morning, and we will not pretend otherwise. If what you want is simply a morning with a rod and the captain's help, the shared deep sea fishing morning at €45 per person, plus the €5 sea fee in cash, does exactly that with up to 12 guests aboard. Our page on shared, private or big game fishing sets the three side by side, and fishing as a couple works through the choice for two.

How booking and payment work

Choose your date in the private fishing booking form, from tomorrow onwards, and give the names and a phone number with WhatsApp. The form accepts as many as 12 names; beyond that, write to us first and we will look at what can be arranged.

Nobody asks for card details, and there is no deposit to put down. Euros for the fare are paid when you go, the sea fee in cash on the boat. The trip is sold by Murat Atalay Travel Agency, TÜRSAB licence 11294.

On the water

This is deep-sea fishing, the same kind of fishing as the shared morning, with the difference that the boat and the captain's time are yours. Red mullet, sea bass, sea bream and shrimp are common in these waters, along with small colourful species and, now and then, a larger fish. The sea decides what bites; nobody can promise a catch, and we do not.

If you would like the captain to know something in advance, a first-timer in the party, a child who wants to hold the rod, a guest who feels the motion of a boat, tell us in the WhatsApp conversation and it will be passed on.
