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.

For a faster and more comfortable journey, you can arrange a private door-to-door transfer from any of these airports directly to Bodrum. From Izmir Airport, you can take an airport shuttle or train to the main bus station, known as the Otogar, and then board a bus to Bodrum. The journey usually takes between three and three and a half hours, depending on the number of stops. From Milas–Bodrum Airport, HAVAŞ or MUTTAŞ airport shuttles operate to Bodrum bus station, with a journey time of approximately 45–60 minutes. Taxis and shared minibuses are also available. From Dalaman Airport, take a taxi or shuttle to the Dalaman or Ortaca bus station and then continue to Bodrum by intercity bus. The total journey usually takes around three hours.
Where does the journey begin and end?
The tour begins at Göcek Harbor. The exact pickup point will be shared by our team after your booking is confirmed. The tour concludes at Fethiye Harbour in Fethiye, Turkey, between 1:30 PM and 2:00 PM.
What are the cabin arrangements like?
Couples are assigned their own private cabins. For solo travelers, cabin arrangements may vary, and you could be placed in a twin, double, triple, or quad cabin, depending on the group composition. If you’re booking as a couple, please make sure to mention this in the notes section during your reservation.
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.
Am I allowed to bring my own alcohol on board?
Boat licensing regulations prohibit bringing your own alcohol on board. However, reasonably priced drinks can be purchased on the boat using a tab system, which must be settled on the day of check-out.
What meals are included during the trip?
All of our gulet cruises include a traditional Turkish breakfast, a vegetarian lunch, afternoon tea, and dinner as part of the package. Upon request, we can accommodate Jain, Vegetarian, Vegan, Halal, and Kosher dietary preferences. You’re welcome to bring additional snacks for the trip. Drinks are available for purchase on board using a tab system, which is payable on the day of disembarkation.
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.
Will towels be provided on board?
Beach towels are not supplied on board, so we kindly ask guests to bring their own for beach use. Bath towels are available but are not intended for use at the beach. If needed, towels can be easily purchased from shops in towns across Turkey.
Are there any limits on air conditioning use?
Gulet boats have limited energy capacity, so air conditioning is typically used for 4-6 hours daily to conserve fuel and maintain efficiency. This also helps protect the generator and supports eco-friendly practices by encouraging natural ventilation. Running the generator overnight can be noisy and may disturb other guests, so finding a balance between comfort and sustainability is essential.
