- Is lunch included?
- On eight of the nine tours, yes, a meal is served on board. The fishing trip gives you simit and tea at breakfast and no lunch, so bring your own food if you like.

- Only on the Island day (soft drinks) and the Relax day (soft and alcoholic). On the other tours you buy drinks on board or, on the fishing trip, may bring your own.
