Thank you so much to the very lovely Mustafa and Ray for an amazing experience! My children said it was the best day of their holiday! Relaxing in the most beautiful of settings, swimming in crystal clear waters, fishing, delicious food and great company. I highly recommend this!

Wow… just wow. Today on your boat has been the best part of our holiday so far and I really don't think that will change at all. … From start to finish just wow: the hospitality, the scenery, the food has been incredible and the personal touches have just made the day complete. We are still in complete awe. I'll be recommending you to everyone I know and anyone who'll listen to me. You guys deserve the best and it's no wonder you book up fast. Thank you for supporting us in swimming in the sea for the first time, and for my amazing cocktails. Couldn't have asked or wanted more.

Big thank you to the brilliant Captain Mustafa and 'Ray' his first mate for an amazing day on the Lobster private fishing boat. We swam and snorkelled in crystal coves, with the guys pulling out some interesting sea creatures for us, we ate a beautifully prepared lunch, we relaxed and sunbathed on board and finally had a go at fishing and successfully caught a few between us! Totally recommend this trip… Mustafa speaks good English and was very informative. All he wants is for his guests to enjoy their day and he goes above and beyond. It was excellent value for money. A great family day, or for couples wanting a relaxing boat trip. We all loved it! Thank you so much from our hearts.

Went out with Mustafa today on his amazing boat. It felt so good having the boat just as a family, like a VIP! The kids had so much fun fishing, looking for boats, spotting turtles at the harbour, and they even caught some fish themselves with the help of Mustafa and his lovely friend! Both SO welcoming, lovely and amazing with the kids. They are 4 and 8 but the whole time were so entertained. We stopped at different places to swim and explore. The lunch made for us was beautiful and delicious. Such variety. Couldn't have asked for a better day! Would highly recommend.

Truly the best holiday excursion we've ever had! Thank you so much Mustafa for an incredible day out. We had so much fun and will definitely be coming back for the full-day tour next time. For anyone considering booking, I cannot recommend the Lobster 1 boat enough. A truly personal and private tour visiting the most secluded and beautiful bays. An awesome lunch, cheap drinks on board, own choice of music, fun times fishing and plenty of snorkelling & swimming.

Thank you to Mustafa and Yıldıray for a fantastic day out fishing on Lobster 1. Mustafa was a wonderful captain and tour guide, both men worked hard to make it the most amazing day. We went fishing for the first time and they made it so easy for us to catch some fish. Thank you for being so helpful and patient. Lunch on the boat was fantastic. So too was the wine! Would 100% book again if I return to the area, and would highly recommend anyone holidaying around Fethiye to do the same.

The best day of our holiday was our trip on this private boat. It was a surprise for my husband's birthday and we had the most amazing chilled day. We stopped in a few places to swim, and whilst snorkelling Mustafa found different sea creatures for us to see and hold. Whilst sailing they would tell us about the local area and show us landmarks with their binoculars. The lunch was prepared on the boat and it was absolutely amazing and so tasty. They even provided a birthday cake and sang happy birthday! Thank you for an amazing day which we will never forget.

My family had an excellent outing with Mustafa on Lobster. We began by cruising out of port to a spot where we were able to fish, which Ray helpfully set up for us. We then moved on to a cove in which we were able to swim and snorkel. We were able to go to many of these throughout the day, each with fun nuances like caves and cliffs. Mustafa was accommodating to how long we wanted to spend at each spot and it was excellently paced. Lunch was delicious, consisting of köfte, chicken döner, rice, salad and bread. Portions were large and tasty. The day was fun, well paced and allowed us to explore places not able to be accessed by larger boats. Highly recommend cruising with Mustafa on Lobster Boat!

What a great day we had on the Lobster boat. From start to finish Mustafa and Ray were amazing hosts and took us to all the quiet spots, away from the other boats! I would recommend this boat for any trip!

We went out with Lobster from 09:30 to 15:30ish out of Fethiye and the lunch was amazing! Just us on the boat, and they were so good with the kids, showing them sea life and giving facts. Very bespoke: they asked us what we wanted to do, so ours was a mix of snorkelling and fishing.

We had the most amazing experience with Mustafa and Yıldıray, we were treated with VIP service from start to finish… Would 100% recommend to anyone, you won't be disappointed. Me and my 8 year old son enjoyed swimming with Yıldıray looking for seashells, my mum enjoyed the relaxation, and the fresh cooked lunch was out of this world. We enjoyed every second. My son enjoyed the fishing, he caught 5 fish! Thank you all for looking after the 3 of us. Such friendly, genuine people. We can't wait to book again next year and relive the special experience on board Lobster 1.

Fantastic day with Mustafa and William on the Lobster 1 boat trip. … Mustafa & William were very nice gentlemen and looked after us the whole trip. We went to beautiful secret coves and swam and snorkelled. I also caught a fish! We had the tunes on and danced away. We had some lovely lunch and plenty of refreshments too. William was like a pirate and was such a good laugh. He was collecting special shells for us. Thank you for the best day! Will deffo book again. P.S. really good price too.

Had the best day with Mustafa on his Lobster boat. Tailored just for us, Mustafa looked after us… Food was amazing, the boat trip around various islands was perfect and the swimming was incredible. Lots of fishes, goats and rabbits! Best day out I've had when visiting Turkey ever! Not your average boat trip.

If you are wanting something more private, away from the party boats, we have been on this twice now and it's tremendous. Maximum 5 people and the boat is basically yours for the day. Bit of fishing, diving, visits to lovely, more private bays, and the lunch and drinks are amazing. Mustafa is your captain and well worth that extra bit of money.

What an amazing boat trip!! … Mustafa and Yıldıray chose quiet, beautiful coves, then lovely food and an atmospheric sunset; it couldn't have been better! My first trip with Lobster 1, but my friends had been before and couldn't stop going on about Mustafa. He didn't disappoint, I will return! Goat Island was a definite highlight! Many, many thanks.

4 of us have been out today on the Lobster Boat. It was wonderful, peaceful and we loved it. We were able to play our own music, the drinks were cold and the food was sooooo good. Thank you Mustafa and team… it was a fab day. I would highly recommend the Lobster Boat, it was money well spent. We are booking again when we return in October.

Just had an amazing boat trip with my boyfriend in Fethiye with Mustafa, and not even expensive!! And most importantly the sunset was beautiful. My lovely fiancé even proposed to me!! Highly recommend, 5 stars.

Today we had a fantastic private boat trip onboard Mustafa's Lobster Boat from Fethiye. We enjoyed many stops for photos, sunbathing and swimming. Mustafa lent us some fishing tackle and we caught lots of various fish, which my wife, son and I really enjoyed.

Excellent from start to finish! … Greeted at Fethiye harbour by Mustafa and Mel aboard their boat. The day was so chilled and relaxing, swimming in quiet relaxing bays. Food was served at lunch: the chicken döner was fabulous, and the beef and salad, plenty of it. Had a great day and thoroughly recommend anyone to book this trip! A day to remember!
