A day exploring Göcek’s bays starts with a little preparation. If you are staying in Sarigerme, confirming your hotel pickup matters just as much as packing your beach bag. Use this guide to organise what to bring and what to ask before your boat day.

Your boat trip packing list


Choose a small bag that closes securely rather than a large suitcase. Keeping your belongings together makes moving between the transfer vehicle and the boat easier.
• Swimwear, a towel and dry clothes for after swimming.
• Sunscreen, a hat and sunglasses.
• Comfortable footwear that fits securely and is suitable for slippery surfaces.
• A water-resistant pouch for your phone and valuables.
• A light layer suitable for the season and your personal essentials.

Phones and photographs


Take care with your phone near the water. Check the seal of any protective pouch beforehand; do not assume it is fully waterproof. Leaving unnecessary valuables behind helps you enjoy the day with less to keep track of.

Confirm your pickup from Sarigerme


Include your hotel’s full name, the area where you are staying and a reachable phone number in your booking request. Confirm whether pickup is included, the meeting point and the collection time with our team. Hotels may have different pickup arrangements, so follow the details given for your booking.
Pack the evening before and check how to reach the meeting point. If you have not chosen your hotel yet, say so in your request and send the accommodation details once they are confirmed.

Lunch, drinks and swimming stops


Read the current programme of your chosen tour for lunch and transfer conditions. Ask which drinks and extras are included instead of assuming everything is covered. Tell the team about dietary requirements or allergies in advance and confirm whether they can be accommodated.
The order and location of swimming stops can change with weather and sea conditions. The name “12 Islands” is not a guarantee of twelve separate stops every day. If you are unsure about swimming or need specific equipment, discuss this with our team before travelling.

Preparing for a day with children


Give children’s ages accurately in the booking request. Ask ahead about suitable life jackets and any equipment you need. Supervise children on deck and when entering or leaving the water, and follow the crew’s instructions.

Shared boat day or private trip?


For a day with other guests, explore our Göcek 12 Islands boat trip. If you prefer a boat experience for your own group, compare the programme and capacity of the private Göcek boat trip. Our Göcek boat day guide helps explain the choices.

Your final booking checklist


Check the date, adult and child numbers, hotel details and preferred way to contact you. Sending the form is a booking request, not a confirmed reservation. Our team checks availability and tour details with you; no payment is taken through this form.
Use the boat’s designated waste facilities and leave nothing behind in the bays. With the practical details arranged, you can spend the day enjoying the coastal scenery.
