About SAILNSTAY
SAILNSTAY is a Türkiye-based tour operator connecting travellers with gulet cruises, private charters, small-ship cruises, coastal adventures, tours and practical travel services across Türkiye, Greece, Croatia and selected Mediterranean destinations. From scheduled Sail Turkey cabin cruises to private whole-vessel charters and regional coastal journeys, our team helps guests compare the right trip, understand what is included and plan the journey from booking to departure.
Who we are
SAILNSTAY is operated by FIRST CHOICE TURİZM YATÇILIK VE TİCARET LİMİTED ŞİRKETİ. Our registered office is in Demre, Antalya, close to the Lycian coast and many of the routes, harbours and destinations featured in our programmes.
We work with international travellers, couples, solo guests, groups of friends, families and private groups. Because different travellers want different experiences, our portfolio separates scheduled cabin cruises, private gulet charters, small-ship cruises, tours, transfers and activity-led trips clearly. Our aim is to help each guest choose the correct product rather than treating every sailing holiday as the same type of cruise.
Sail Turkey by SAILNSTAY
Sail Turkey by SAILNSTAY is our customer-facing brand presentation for scheduled Turkish gulet cruises and related coastal travel planning. On a cabin cruise, guests reserve a cabin and share the gulet, crew, deck and planned itinerary with other travellers. A private gulet charter is different: one group reserves the entire vessel and receives a private charter arrangement.
The words Sail Turkey are registered in Türkiye as a word mark owned by FIRST CHOICE TURİZM YATÇILIK VE TİCARET LİMİTED ŞİRKETİ. “Sail Turkey by SAILNSTAY” explains the relationship between the Sail Turkey brand and SAILNSTAY; it is not a separate company or contracting party. SAILNSTAY is the parent multi-destination brand. Products in Greece, Croatia and other Mediterranean destinations remain under the SAILNSTAY destination structure rather than the Sail Turkey name.
What we offer
Scheduled Turkish gulet cabin cruises
Guests book a private cabin on a shared, crewed gulet and follow a published route and departure schedule. Products may be designed for different traveller groups, trip lengths and coastal routes. The live product page always controls the final dates, age rules, cabin basis, inclusions and availability.
Private gulet charters
Families, friends and private groups can reserve an entire gulet in Türkiye and, where shown as available, selected routes in Greece, Croatia and other Mediterranean destinations. Private charters use a whole-vessel model and may include a more tailored route, provisioning plan and onboard arrangement, subject to the vessel, operating conditions and confirmed charter agreement.
Small-ship and coastal cruises
Our portfolio may include small-ship and coastal itineraries in Türkiye, Greece, Croatia and other selected Mediterranean destinations. Vessel style, cabin standard, itinerary and inclusions vary by product, so guests should compare the live details before booking.
Tours, transfers and pre- or post-cruise travel
We also help guests connect their cruise with airport transfers, accommodation, day tours and wider itineraries in Türkiye and selected Mediterranean destinations. These services are shown separately so travellers can understand which company operates each element and which conditions apply.
Sea-kayaking and activity-led experiences
Selected experiences combine coastal scenery with active travel. Activity requirements, safety rules, equipment, minimum ages and operating conditions are stated on the applicable product page.

How we support travellers
Before booking, our team helps travellers compare route direction, trip length, departure port, traveller style, cabin basis, inclusions and the logistics before and after the cruise.
After booking, guests receive the confirmed product information, payment schedule and joining instructions relevant to their trip. Operational details can change because of weather, harbour requirements, safety decisions or supplier conditions, so the final booking confirmation and pre-departure communication should always be read carefully.
During the trip, the captain, crew, guide and local operating team remain responsible for safety and day-to-day delivery within the confirmed product model. Guests should raise any issue as soon as it occurs so the team has a fair opportunity to resolve it.
Our approach
Clear product categories
We distinguish shared cabin cruises from private whole-vessel charters and separate dynamic operational facts from general travel guidance.
Practical information
We aim to explain routes, ports, durations, cabins, transfers, meals, fees and traveller suitability in language that helps guests make an informed choice.
Local knowledge
Our base in Demre places us close to the Lycian coast, Kekova region and the operating environment behind many of our Türkiye programmes.
International service
SAILNSTAY serves guests across multiple markets and languages, with confirmed product ranges in Türkiye, Greece, Croatia and selected Mediterranean destinations. Regional websites may adapt spelling, currency, travel planning and search language, while the legal company, destination and product facts remain consistent.
Responsible expectations
Sea conditions, port rules, weather and safety decisions can affect a coastal itinerary. We explain this flexibility before booking rather than promising that every stop or timing will remain unchanged.
