If you're looking for a day-long boat tour, look no further: there are lots of boats in the Kas harbor, but we can't imagine a better value. Captain Ali ("Garlic") and his family (his wife does the cooking, his 10-year old son pilots the boat (!)) provide a wonderful welcoming and sociable setting to swim, snorkel, and just enjoy the...

We were on the Ali`s boat trip in the beginning of September 2012.
Everything was just perfect! The weather, the sea, the food, the company of people we got to know on the boat. There were 2 couples from England, 1 couple from Germany and we a couple from Sweden :). There are many positive reviews written about Ali and...

OK, a wee personal postscript - TripAdvisor quite sensibly doesn't let you post 2 reviews too close together so I've had to let a few months lapse before this follow-up to our July review. We'd had a memorable, funny, entertaining, idyllic and adventurous day on Batin 2 and at the end of the trip Ali very kindly invited us to...

We hired Ali and his boat for two trips during our holiday having previously consulted Trip Advisor. We were not disappointed. The first trip was to Kekova and the sunken city and the second around the islands. The boat is well suited to lazing and swimming and it is well equipped. The food was really excellent and lots of it...

We just returned from a holiday to Kas. We joined the boat tour with my friends to Batin Boat which is operated by captain Ali. The boat itself was fine, but the tour was a disaster.
This is the second time that we have been on a boat trip at the Kaş archipelago. We have been told to depart at...

Hi Kirsti
I think that you must be confused and I wonder if you actually have been on the Batin 2?
You say in your review that you travelled with us in September, perhaps you can tell us the actual date? We have to keep a record of the names of all passengers for inspection by the Coast Guard and...

We booked the trip ahead of our visit to Kas due to the recommendations on Trip Advisor and we were not disappointed although it was quiet hard to track Ali (the boat owner) down as he was always out on his boat, but do persevere. The best time to catch him is around 7 in the evening.
The boat holds...

This was the second of the two boat trips we took on out recent weeks stay in Kas. It was more expensive, yes, but worth it. Only 12 people - most were repeat customers - on this beautiful boat owned by the frenetic Capt Ali. He is a charming host and a wonderful example of Turkish hospitality. We had a...
