What to Expect on This Experience
Fethiye & Çığlık Bay
Boarding begins at Fethiye Harbour between approximately 16:00 and 17:00. After meeting the crew and settling into your cabin, the gulet sets sail towards Çığlık Bay when arrival times allow. Dinner is served onboard as you begin your journey along the Turquoise Coast. If guests are delayed due to flights or traffic, the gulet may remain in Fethiye Harbour for the first night, giving you the opportunity to explore the marina, bazaar and nearby bars.
Tersane Island & Ağa Limanı
After breakfast, we cruise towards Tersane Island, the largest island in the Gulf of Fethiye and home to the remains of ancient Greek and Roman shipyards. Spend time exploring the shoreline, swimming or relaxing on deck while surrounded by calm turquoise water. Lunch is served onboard before we continue towards peaceful Ağa Limanı. Dinner is enjoyed at anchor, followed by a quiet night beneath the stars.
Ekincik & Dalyan
The day begins in the tranquil waters around Ekincik. Guests can relax onboard or join an optional Dalyan excursion. The tour travels through reed-lined canals where Caretta Caretta sea turtles may be seen, passing the famous Lycian rock tombs before visiting the ancient city of Kaunos. Depending on the excursion program, guests may also enjoy a mud bath and Turtle Beach. We return to the gulet and spend the night anchored in the peaceful surroundings of Ekincik.
Marmaris & Cennet Bay
After breakfast and a swim around Turunç Bükü, we cruise into Marmaris Harbour. Guests have free time to explore the old town, marina, shops and cafés at their own pace. Once everyone is back onboard, we leave Marmaris and sail towards Cennet Bay. Dinner is served aboard the gulet before spending the night in this sheltered and scenic anchorage.
Kumlubük & Semizce Bay
Following breakfast, we cruise along the coastline towards Kumlubük Bay, known for its clear water and dramatic mountain scenery. Spend the morning swimming, sunbathing or relaxing onboard before lunch. In the afternoon, we continue to Semizce Bay, a quieter and more secluded anchorage surrounded by nature. Enjoy a final swim before dinner and a peaceful overnight stay.
Göcek Bay, Hamam Bay & Bedri Rahmi / Sarsala
We begin the day early as we cruise into the beautiful bays of Göcek. Our first stop is Kuyruk Burnu for a refreshing swim before continuing towards Sunken Hamam Bay, where ancient Roman bath remains can be seen beneath the water. Breakfast is served in this scenic setting. Later, we sail towards either Bedri Rahmi Bay, famous for the painted fish on its rocks, or peaceful Sarsala Bay, depending on conditions. Dinner is served onboard before another quiet night at anchor.
Yassıca Island & Fethiye
After breakfast, we continue through the Gulf of Fethiye, stopping at scenic bays before reaching Yassıca Island. Enjoy lunch and a final swim in its shallow turquoise water. Later in the day, the gulet returns to Fethiye Harbour. Guests can enjoy their final evening onboard or explore the marina, restaurants and bars nearby before spending the last night in Fethiye.
Fethiye
Enjoy your final breakfast onboard before saying goodbye to the crew and your fellow travellers. Disembarkation takes place at Fethiye Harbour at approximately 09:00.

Life on Board

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. 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 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.

Barney –
This was an experience. I had never been on a boat holiday before, and when I came alone, I had lots of questions in my mind, like whether I would get bored. Since I’m a picky eater and don’t eat everything, food was also a big question mark for me. But after joining the tour, I felt very relieved. Everyone on the boat was friendly, we became a nice group, and the food was really good. Many thanks to the whole crew, and especially to Captain Ali.
