Quick Answer
A private sunset boat trip in Bodrum is a few hours on your own yacht in the early evening: a swim in a quiet bay, drinks and dinner on deck as the sun goes down over the Aegean, and the lights of Bodrum Castle on the way back. It is perfect for couples, anniversaries, birthdays and small celebrations.
