Devils’ Bays Dalyan boat trip gives you something different, something truly special. We start our day with a welcome drink and a few nibbles, aboard our newly renovated two deck boat whilst meandering along the Dalyan Delta, The Labyrinth Created by Reed Islets. Relax during an hour’s ride on the Aegean before reaching one of many secluded bays and coves around Devils Bay. Swim, sunbathe and enjoy a traditional Turkish BBQ lunch.

We will meet at our office at 08.45am  and take a short stroll to the boat. A welcome drink will be waiting for you. Whilst enjoying your drink and a pastry or two, the boat will meander along the scenic Dalyan Delta heading towards the sea. There is plenty of space with shaded and sunny areas for everyone. We will pass the magnificent Rock Tombs, Caunos and the beautiful reed beds, just a few of the stunning attractions that the town has to offer.

Once out at sea, we will cruise along the Aegean coastline providing the ideal chance for sunbathing, relaxing and making new friends, before reaching one of many secluded, picturesque coves.

TIP: World’s leading travel channel Matador Network produced a short movie showcasing Turkey last summer. We are proud to say that they have chosen Volkan’s Adventures to show them the best of our area. You can watch the video and footage from the Devils Bays Dalyan here.

Secluded Coves of Devils Bays Dalyan

Our first stop will be at Bozburun Bay where you can swim in the beautiful clear waters. Bozburun Bay is renowned for the deep blue colour of the Aegean. Secondly, we then head onto Devils Bays with its multiple coves and turquoise and azure bays. There are plenty of opportunities to swim, snorkel, paddleboard, beach comb and sunbathe.

When we reach our third destination, a delicious traditional Turkish BBQ lunch cooked and prepared on board will be served. You can choose from chicken shish and kofte /meatballs, a huge range of fresh meze, salads and bread. Vegetarian options will be available on prior request and we can of course cater to all dietary requirements.

If the weather allows we will venture further afield after lunch, but if not, we will bring you closer inland to Bacardi Bay. Here you can enjoy more swimming, relaxing and sunbathing for the rest of your day before we head back up the river, aiming to arrive back to Dalyan for approximately 4pm.

  • Please note, as this tour goes out into the open sea we must be guided by our Captain should weather conditions prove inclement. We will make every effort to reach our destinations but the safety of our guests is of paramount importance to us. Should it become apparent as we head towards the open waters that our Captain is not comfortable with the sea conditions then your guide will discuss all alternative options available with the group.

At Volkans Adventures if you’re a guest on one of our Dalyan Boat Tours you can be assured not only of an enchanting and comfortable experience, but also a safe and secure one.

We have our own exclusive boats with local and very experienced Captains who live and breathe the sea, they are both charismatic characters in their own right and who will ensure you have the best possible experience whilst on board.

Sari Zeybek boat is captained by Savaş, this boat was specially constructed by Savaş himself. He owns his own boatyard, Güven Yachting, right by the river opposite Dalyan Resort, which is also where his home is. Savaş is a local man and has spent his whole life sailing the river and sea, so his experience is second to none and you could not be in safer hands. Savaş also part owned a scuba diving school (Dalyan Dive Center) and has 16 years’ experience in diving. He also is a very experienced fisherman and his knowledge of the sea cannot be rivalled anywhere in Dalyan. All this knowledge about what goes on above and below sea level puts us in such a great position to give you the best ever adventure at sea. Savaş is very well travelled and speaks English and with his endearing character you will undoubtably find a newfound friend.

Sari Zeybek is a 14 metre long boat which is one of the longest in Dalyan and 4m wide which allows for plenty of room on board. The boat was originally a diving boat but has gone through a full renovation last year.  This boat and its captain Savaş are one of only a handful of boats in Dalyan that has a special open sea licence which means he can take the boat anywhere on the open sea including international waters. It also means that if necessary he is licenced to take 16 passengers out to sea rather than 12 like most boats in Dalyan.

The boat has a full security radio system, full insurance for all guests, TPDK alcohol and ministry of tourism food serving licence. The boat has 220 volt electric supply complete with wifi, there is also a top of the range espresso coffee machine and a full kitchen with oven.

As is always the case for us with Volkan’s trips, this was a lovely day out. It started well, with a delicious Turkish breakfast whilst cruising along the river and, as we progressed out to sea we were blessed with beautifully calm weather. We stopped at several little bays to swim and later were able to enjoy a delicious lunch prepared by the young captain’s mum. An afternoon swim was slightly interrupted by a bottle of Efes floating towards us on a tray – mine’s a Mojito next time please Volkan!
The company on board was great, as was the crew. The captain’s father even dived overboard to recover our friend’s sunglasses from the seabed., much to his relief. Volkan has the knack of mixing people well and makes sure that no- one feels like an outsider, whilst respecting their need for their own space. You never feel hurried or hassled on any of his trips and this one is no exception. A lovely way to spend a day!

I know from previous trips to Dalyan what a great reputation Volkan’s has. Having just booked and paid via Paypal, I just wanted to share what fantastic communication and super quick responses I received from Lisa. Rarely do you ever experience customer service this good. Thanks Lisa and I look forward to two wonderful trips in July.

This was a lovely boat trip which visited some lovely bays for great swimming. The food was excellent as is always the case with Volkan’s trips and again as usual the staff all very friendly and helpful. A lovely day.

I did this trip in september 2020.it was a delightful day. The breakfast was really good and lots of it. The captain and his mate were very nice, and nothing was to much. They were very nice. The swim stops were very nice and beautiful scenery. Lunch was very fresh and again lots of it. It was a very chilled day and I would highly recommend it.

Cannot recommend this tour highly enough. It’s an absolutely wonderful day out visiting stunning bays only accessible by boat. Swimming in the crystal clear turquoise sea whilst admiring the beautiful scenery around you, it’s just magical.
Complements to the captain and his wife for the outstanding quality of food provided for lunch.
Thank you team Volkan’s Adventures for another fantastic tour.

I did the Devil’s bay boat trip in June 2022. It was brilliant. The boat is gorgeous and the Captain and his wife are a great team. We had the pleasure of Volkans mum as our guide, she was lovely. Food was brilliant. I loved all the swim stops.
