On Board

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.

Swim, explore, repeatUnhurried days move between clear-water swim stops, islands, coves and small coastal towns.
Shared momentsFresh meals and relaxed deck time make it easy to meet fellow travellers at your own pace.
Room to unwindSunbathe, read, nap or watch the coastline pass by - the rhythm of the day stays flexible.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I reach Fethiye, Turkey?

To reach Fethiye, you can fly into either Antalya Airport or Dalaman Airport. The transfer from Antalya takes approximately three hours, while the journey from Dalaman usually takes around one and a half hours. For a more comfortable and convenient trip, you can arrange a private transfer directly from either airport to Fethiye. To travel from Antalya by public transport, 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 Kas and then transfer to another bus heading to Fethiye. Tickets are often sold directly on the bus by the driver, and the fare is around 6 euros per person. The bus journey from Antalya to Kas may take between three and a half and four hours due to stops, followed by another journey of approximately two hours to Fethiye. From Dalaman Airport, take a taxi to Dalaman Bus Station for around 3 euros, then continue to Fethiye by bus. The journey takes approximately two hours. Keep in mind that Dalaman Airport is relatively small and has fewer daily flights.

Where does this cruise begin and end?

This cruise begins in Fethiye and finishes in Fethiye. Please check the departure schedule and final travel documents for meeting and disembarkation details.

How does cabin sharing work?

Couples are normally allocated a private cabin. A private cabin for single use carries a 70% supplement and remains subject to confirmation.

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.
