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.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I reach Karacasogut, Turkey?

You can reach Karacasogut by flying into Dalaman, Milas–Bodrum, or Izmir Adnan Menderes Airport. Dalaman Airport is usually the most convenient option, with a driving time of approximately one and a half to two hours. The journey from Milas–Bodrum Airport takes around two to two and a half hours, while Izmir Adnan Menderes Airport is approximately three to three and a half hours away. The easiest and most comfortable option is to arrange a private door-to-door transfer directly to Karacasogut Harbor from any of these airports. From Dalaman Airport, you can also take a MUTTAŞ shuttle or taxi to Marmaris Bus Station and then continue to Karacasogut by minibus or taxi. From Milas–Bodrum Airport, take a HAVAŞ or MUTTAŞ shuttle to Bodrum Bus Station, followed by an intercity bus to Marmaris, sometimes with a transfer in Muğla, and then continue by minibus or taxi. From Izmir Airport, take a train or airport shuttle to Izmir Bus Station, then travel by intercity bus to Marmaris, usually via Aydın or Muğla, before completing the final part of the journey by minibus or taxi to Karacasogut.

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.
