In fact there is no stable price(*)...For example; you would say to me (Haluk) "we want to go fishing" during staying here or "we're coming there to go fishing" before you arrive here, then we can go fishing with our personal 4 people capacity boat if the weather and sea conditions are available. The reason of our boat is 4 people capacity, without me (I'm the captain) the boat allows 3 people to carry.
The model of our boat is Marintek Fishsports465 and has Honda Marine Motor which has 40hp and four stroke engine. During the trip, even the air conditions suddenly changes to unavailable, it's possible to shift with 35 sea miles/h speed to shore or secure bay. If you think that we gonna be far from maximum 5 s.miles away from shore, in the worst conditions, we shall return in 10 minutes. Also, there has lifejackets for 4 people and all the equipments for security which are necessary.

Hints from me (free of charge) such as;
Where is (are) the fishing area(s) of the best quality fishes ?
How to cook and how to eat?
Which fishes are appear at where and when?
Of course, asking us earlier is the best way for which fishes are available to catching is useful for you to bring the necessary equipments if you come here to fishing.

Conditions:
-(*)You should be staying at HavaSu at least 1 day H.B. (half pension) and should buy the fuel for 2 plastic jerry can (which have 11lt volume per jerry can totally 22lt.) or pay the price for the trip and fishing that you shall do that when you go fishing with your best friend's boat. Passenger count does not change the quantity of oil that you will pay. As a fishing with your friend's boat.
-There is no time limit for fishing. We gonna make a decision to estimate time to return back to the shore according to amount of fishes, conditions of water and air, happiness of people.
-In additional, we would like you to bring your own fishing equipment and don't whine about the equipment later. In worst case we can supply some materials for you that cost will be paid by you.


Special conditions:
-You should know that captain will not interfere your sarcasms with friends that corrupts the general serenity such as 'you caught-I caught!', 'you caught few-much!','my fish is bigger which I caught!', 'who lights whose cigarettes'. Conversely he enjoys that and do not prevent you to throw your friend into the water and your friend who throws you. There gonna establish an election for fallen guy to allow him to boat and he (captain) has a double vote and others have a one vote.
-This will be prevented who tries to bring his/her catch out with himself/herself, therefore if amount of fishes are enough to feed all the people in HAVASU, them you might be permitted to do so.
-If you wanna pose with another one's catch, owner should allow you to pose with the catch (fish).
-You grant us permission to use the videos and photos in our web site, which are recorded during the hunting. But we also gonna ask you for your permission anyway.
-During the preparation to return, please pay attention that at least one pair from each type of fish is still in the water. (Don't catch all of them!)
- General and special conditions can change every time, can be added new conditions, some of them can be removed and your ideas can be added.

Some Informations About This Area:
BODRUM MUSEUM OF UNDERWATER ARCHAEOLOGY
BRONZE AGE SHIPWRECKS
The
hall consists of three sections. Just inside the entry, finds from the Cape
Gelidonya ((the) late 13th century BC) and Şeytan Deresi (the16th Century B.C)
shipwrecks are exhibited.
On the left side of this room are artefacts gathered by the first scientific
shipwreck excavation in the world, at Cape Gelidonya. The site of the wreck was
shown to the archaologists by Captain Kemal Aras, a Bodrum sponge boat owner.
The shipwreck was excavated in 1960 under the direction of George F.Bass.
This was a Syrian merchant's trading vessel. The artefacts excavated from the
wreck shed light on the international relations of the period.
With the copper ingots loaded in Cyprus, the vessel sank at Beşadalar (Five
Islands), opposite Cape Gelidonya between Finike and Antalya.
Captain's Log Book;
"From Syria, we started our voyage through the eastern Mediterranean in my 13-14
metre long vessel. We stopped at Cyprus to get approximately one ton of metal
cargo. Copper ingots shaped like dried ox-hides were wrapped in mats and
carefully loaded on board. We put bronze tools and scrap metal in baskets with
shrubs and branches beneath to protect our hull. Now, five of the crew are
sitting at the stern, with an oil lamp for light. I am on deck getting myself
ready for trading at one of the harbors we will approach in a couple of hours.
Tied to my wrist is a cylindrical stone seal from my father that I use for
formal stamps. Perhaps my son will one day use this seal. My sailors carry
scarabs for good luck. They play at knuckle bones in spare moments during this
long voyage. Whetstones are used to sharpen the tools which will be offered for
sale.
By following the land, we are heading for Cape Gelidonya on the Anatolian shore,
watching the west current and the wind. In a few hours we will reach Phoenikus (Finike)
and get some drinking water. We have to pass first through Beş Adalar (Five
Islands), which is a very dangerous place for sailors."
As the ship passed between the two islands nearest the to mainland, due to the
strong current it hit the pinnacle of rock that nears the surface of the sea.
The vessel sant to a depth of 26-28 metres, and Cape Gelidonya became the grave
of one more vessel.
The large jars (pithoi) and amphoras on the right side of the first room were
shown to the Institute of Nautical Archaeology (I.N.A) by sponge diver Cumhur
İlik. The wreck was excavated in 1975 by the I.N.A. team of Prof. Dr. George F.
Bass, who dates the pottery to the 16 th century BC.
