How much does the ferry from Bodrum to Datça cost?

The cost of the ferry from Bodrum to Datça depends on the operator, the type of vessel, the date, whether you travel as a foot passenger or with a car, and the seat or cabin you choose. A conventional ferry is cheaper than a high-speed one; a summer Saturday costs more than a weekday in May; a car adds a vehicle fare; a cabin on an overnight sailing adds more. That is why Haqqi Tours does not print a price: we look up the live fares for your exact date and send the real cost through WhatsApp, with the options side by side.

The figure we send is the total: passengers, vehicle, seats or cabin and port fees. If a slower sailing an hour later is cheaper, we say so; on this route the conventional ferry is often the best value for a family.

Cheapest ferry ticket from Bodrum to Datça: how to pay less

A cheap Bodrum to Datça ferry ticket is not luck - it is the right boat on the right day. Here is how we find it:

• Compare operators - on this route the cheapest company changes with the date
• Price the crossing with and without the car - for two people a rental at the other end is sometimes cheaper
• Book the return with the outbound - open returns and round-trip fares are cheaper on many operators
• Ask about children's, student and resident fares, and about vehicle offers outside high season
• Choose the conventional ferry over the high-speed boat when time allows - it is cheaper, steadier and often more scenic
• Book early for July, August, Easter and holiday weekends, when sailings sell out and fares rise

Send us the form with your dates and we tell you which sailing is the cheapest ferry from Bodrum to Datça that day and how much a different day would save.
