Life on Board
Our cabin cruises bring together a mixed-age, international group for easy-going days along the Turkish coast. The atmosphere is social without being a party cruise: join the conversation around the table, stretch out on deck, or find a quiet corner whenever you prefer.




Our Gulet Fleet
Cabin cruises operate aboard traditional Turkish gulets from our trusted partner fleet, including vessels such as Norwyn. Each gulet has its own character, but all are selected for comfortable shared spaces, shaded dining and generous outdoor decks.




Cabins On Board
Expect a compact, practical ensuite cabin designed for a comfortable week at sea. Double and twin layouts are allocated according to availability, with clean linen, storage and a private bathroom in every cabin.




Freshly Prepared Meals On Board
Meals are prepared in the onboard galley and served family-style around the shared table. On a standard 7-night cruise, the plan normally includes 7 breakfasts, 6 lunches, 6 afternoon teas and 7 dinners, with water served during meals.




Before You Book
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I reach Fethiye, Turkey?
To reach Fethiye, you can fly into either Antalya Airport or Dalaman Airport. Antalya Airport is approximately a three-hour transfer from Fethiye, while the journey from Dalaman Airport takes around one and a half hours. For a more comfortable and convenient journey, you can arrange a private transfer directly from either airport to Fethiye. To travel by public bus from Antalya, take a taxi from the airport to the main bus station, known as the Otogar, for approximately 5 euros. From there, take a bus to Kaş and then transfer to another bus heading to Fethiye. Tickets are often sold directly on the bus by the driver, and the journey from Antalya to Fethiye costs around 6 euros per person. The bus ride to Kaş may take between three and a half and four hours due to stops, followed by another journey of approximately two hours to Fethiye. Dalaman Airport is another nearby option, although it is relatively small and has limited flights. From Dalaman Airport, you can take a taxi to the Dalaman bus station for approximately 3 euros, followed by a bus journey of around two hours to Fethiye.
Where does this cruise begin and end?
This cruise begins in Fethiye and finishes in Demre / Olympos. Please check the departure schedule and final travel documents for meeting and disembarkation details.
How does cabin sharing work?
Private single occupancy is not offered on this 3-night program. Solo guests should expect a shared-cabin arrangement according to the operator’s allocation policy.
Can I upgrade to a better cabin?
This trip includes accommodation in shared cabins. If available, you can upgrade to a private twin, double, or triple cabin with an ensuite bathroom.
Is it possible to change my departure date?
Yes, it is possible to change your departure date based on availability. A minor fee will be charged, and if the new date has a higher cost, you’ll need to cover the difference. Alternatively, you can transfer the amount you’ve already paid to another trip of equal or greater value, as long as it’s outside the notification period.
What type of boats are used for the sailing trips?
All of our boats are traditional gulet yachts, handcrafted in Southern Turkey. These two or three-masted sailing yachts are fully equipped with ensuite cabins, a professional kitchen, dining spaces, and deck mattresses for those who wish to sleep under the stars.
Will there be enough space for my luggage?
For your comfort and ease of movement inside the cabin, we suggest bringing a small or medium-sized suitcase or backpack.
Can I bring my own drinks on board?
Personal alcoholic and soft drinks are not permitted on board. Drinks can be purchased from the onboard bar and are not included in the cruise price.
What meals are included?
The cruise is full board and includes breakfast, lunch, afternoon tea or coffee with cookies, and dinner. Please tell us about dietary requirements before departure.
Can I bring my own snacks and beverages on the boat?
Unfortunately, bringing your own drinks (including water) on board is not permitted. However, you’re welcome to bring snacks like peanuts, chips, cookies, and similar items.
Can I settle my bar bill using a credit card?
Please note that bar expenses must be paid in cash on the last day of the trip. Since ATMs may not be available at all ports, it’s a good idea to plan ahead. However, there’s no need to worry about withdrawing cash before the trip, as ATMs will be accessible in Kas Port town on the second day of the journey.
Are there power sockets available on the boat?
Some boats are equipped with power sockets in the cabins, while others have them only in the common salon area. These sockets are functional when the engine or generator is running.
