Fethiye
Your adventure starts in the beautiful coastal town of Fethiye, where the Aegean and Mediterranean seas come together. When you arrive at Fethiye Port, you’ll step onto the wooden deck of your Gulet. Check-in at 16:00 and boarding begins at 16:30, giving you time to settle into your cabin and enjoy the stunning views.
The bustling harbour is filled with yachts, and the friendly crew will welcome you with a refreshing drink while they explain the boat’s features and safety rules. Once everyone is on board, we will either sail to the calm waters of Fethiye Bay or stay in the harbour if some guests are still arriving.
You’ll join other travellers for a welcome dinner featuring delicious traditional Turkish dishes, grilled fish, various appetizers, and local wines. The gentle waves create a peaceful atmosphere for chatting and making new friends.
You can relax and listen to the boat’s soothing sounds as you prepare for the adventures that await you tomorrow.

After exploring the island, we enjoy a relaxed lunch with stunning views. In the afternoon, we cruise to Aga Port, a beautiful bay surrounded by pine trees, inviting you to unwind or take another swim.

In Kaunos, explore ancient ruins like a Roman amphitheatre and temples, and perhaps enjoy a refreshing mud bath—a local favourite.
The rest of the day is yours to enjoy swimming, sunbathing, or simply soaking in nature. As evening arrives, we anchor in Ekincik Bay, surrounded by pine trees and the soothing sounds of waves. After a wonderful dinner, you can relax and sleep under a starry sky.

Everything you need to prepare for your cruise — pick-ups, meeting points, travel requirements, and onboard guidelines:
You’ll be sailing on one of our handpicked Turkish wooden Gulets — traditional boats with chill social spaces, sunbeds for lounging, and a shaded dining area where the crew serves up fresh meals daily. Every Gulet has its own layout and charm, but they’re all in the same comfort class — clean, comfortable, and made for slow cruising. Your onboard crew (captain, chef, and deckhand) are pros at keeping things smooth, safe, and fun. Want a peek inside? → See Cabins Onboard
Sample images shown. Gulet layouts and styles may vary slightly by departure.
Each cabin is private and ensuite, with a twin, double, triple, or quad bed, your own bathroom, and just enough space to keep things simple. It’s not luxury — it’s clean, compact, and precisely what you need after a full day in the sun. Some bathrooms have a wet-room layout where the shower and toilet share the same space, while others may include a curtain or small divider. We provide fresh bed linen and bath towels, but please bring your own beach towel for swimming and sunbathing.
Cabin layouts, sizes, and finishes may vary slightly depending on the Gulet. All cabins are in the same comfort class.

Yes, we do.
Our Standard Mediterranean Menu (included) naturally supports vegetarian and pescetarian guests.
For guests requiring vegan, gluten-free, or more specific dietary preparation, we offer a Special Dietary Menu Upgrade. This allows us to source dedicated ingredients and prepare meals accordingly.
Please select your preference during booking so our team can prepare in advance. Dietary requests must be confirmed at least 72 hours before departure.

Gulet boats have limited energy resources, which is why it’s recommended to limit the use of air conditioning to 4-6 hours per day. This will help conserve fuel and optimize the efficiency of the boat. It will also extend the lifespan of the generator and support eco-friendly practices by relying on natural ventilation. Running the generator at night can be quite noisy and disruptive to other passengers. Therefore, it’s important to strike a balance between guest comfort and environmental responsibility.
Yes, you can change your departure date, depending on availability. A small fee will apply and, if the new departure date is more expensive, this difference will also need to be paid. You may also transfer the money you have already paid over to another trip of the same or higher value, provided it is outside of the notification period.
To ensure you have enough room to move around your cabin, we recommend you bring a small to medium-sized suitcase or backpack.
Due to boat licensing laws, you are not able to bring your own alcohol on the vessel. However, well-priced drinks are available for you to purchase on board using a tab system, which needs to be paid the day you check-out.
On all of our gulet cruises, we offer a traditional Turkish breakfast, a vegetarian lunch, afternoon tea, and dinner, which are included in the price.
We offer Jain, Vegetarian, Vegan, Halal and Kosher food options on request.
You are welcome to bring extra snacks for the journey. Drinks can only be purchased on board on a tab basis, paid on the day you disembark.
Unfortunately, you are not allowed to bring your own drinks on board (including water) but you can bring your own snacks, such as peanuts, crisps, biscuits etc.
Bar Payments: Please keep in mind that you will need to have cash available to cover any expenses at the bar during the trip. The bar payments will be settled on the final day of the journey. It is possible that there won’t be any ATMs available at the ports, so it is best to plan accordingly. However, do not worry about withdrawing cash at the outset as there are ATMs in Kas Port town that will become accessible on the second day of the journey.
Some boats have power sockets in the cabins while other vessels only have them only in the salon area. The power sockets can be used when the engine or generator is on.
Beach Towels not provided: Please be advised that we do not provide beach towels on board. We kindly request that you bring your own towels for use at the beach. While bath towels are available, they should not be used for the beach. Please note that shops selling towels are easily found in every town throughout Turkey.
