TL;DR
Based on traveler messages, the main practical option is to check boat-trip ticket booths at Bodrum harbor. For the Bitez–Bodrum route, regular public sea transport does not appear to be straightforward, so travelers often end up looking at private boats or sharing a yacht charter.
The most practical recent tip for a coastal boat ride is to go to Bodrum harbor and ask at the ticket booths on site. Bodrum Limanı is mentioned as the place where you may be able to buy seats for boat trips without booking a private charter.
If you do not want to pay for an entire yacht, one workable option is to team up with other travelers and split the charter cost. This was discussed as a practical alternative to booking a private yacht just for yourself in Bodrum.
For the Bitez–Bodrum sea route, travelers were specifically asking for alternatives to private yachts, which suggests there is no obvious mainstream public boat link. If you specifically want to get between Bitez and Bodrum by water, be prepared that people more often look for a private boat than a regular scheduled service.
