Nice 7 hr boat trip around the area on the Grand Vega boat, visiting butterfly valley beach (it's a trek into the valley to see butterflies which we didn't do as it was too warm), aquarium bay, st Nicholas island, camel beach and another bay which I've forgotten the name of. We enjoyed having dips in the sea and jumping off the boat too.
Just note this isn't any different to the other boats that also visit the bays in the area, just that it is one of the quieter boats. We could see the pirate ship themed boats are more for the partying people when we were in the vicinity of them!
This boat does play music (speakers at the front) and does try to entertain those on the top deck.
The staff were friendly and even come to you to sell drinks. Lunch was good (chicken/fish with rice and salad). There were signs about not bringing food and drink on board but we still brought water as it was a hot day and I wasn't paying for water. Total bill I had was 1650 lira for soft drinks and snacks (family of 4).
The boat left after 10.30 as it was waiting for more people to come on board. It looked full but seemed to be enough seats to go around. Get there early though to get the best seats.
Toilets need to be cleaned more often.
