Day by day Trip Itinerary

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 boat, called a gulet. Boarding begins at 17:00, 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.

Accommodation: Turkish Gulet
Meals: Dinner

As the sun rises over the mountains, you wake up to the gentle rocking of the Gulet and the fresh scent of the sea. A delicious Turkish breakfast is served on deck, the perfect start to the day.

After breakfast, we sail to Tersane Island, where the ruins of an ancient Roman-Greek shipyard tell stories of the past. Once we anchor, you dive into the clear blue waters, snorkelling among colourful fish and remnants of old ships.

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. As the sun sets, the sky transforms with warm colours, setting the scene for dinner under the stars.

We anchor in Aga Port tonight, where the peaceful surroundings help you drift into a restful sleep, ready for tomorrow’s adventures.

Accommodation: Turkish Gulet
Meals: Breakfast, Lunch, Five o’clock tea, Dinner

We start our day at sunrise, sailing to the beautiful Ekincik Bay. After anchoring in the calm bay, you can relax on deck, swim in the clear waters, or join an exciting trip to Dalyan and Kaunos.

On the excursion, you’ll take a small fishing boat through the scenic Dalyan River, where you might spot impressive Lycian tombs carved into the cliffs and nesting Caretta Caretta sea turtles on Turtle Beach.

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.

The morning begins with the sun rising over the calm waters of Ekincik Bay. After a refreshing breakfast, we set sail toward Turunc Buku, a serene bay known for its clear waters and lush surroundings. Here, you can swim, snorkel among marine life, or relax on deck and enjoy the scenery.

Next, we head to Marmaris, a lively coastal town blending traditional charm with modern luxury. The harbour features elegant yachts, bustling cafes, and boutique shops. Stroll along the palm-lined promenade, visit Marmaris Castle, or soak up the vibrant marina atmosphere.

We disembark at 12:00 PM, filled with unforgettable memories and new friendships, knowing the magic of the Fethiye to Marmaris cruise will stay with us forever.

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.

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.

Couples would get their own cabin. Depending on your group breakdown, solo travellers will share and may be roomed in a twin, double, triple or quad cabin.

If you are a couple, please add a note during booking.

Accommodation in multi-share cabins is included on this trip. Depending on availability, you may upgrade to a private triple/twin/double ensuite cabin. 

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.

All of our vessels are traditional gulet yachts, which are constructed in Southern Turkey. These two or three-masted sailing vessels have everything you need, including ensuite cabins, a chef’s kitchen, dining areas and mattresses on the deck if you prefer to sleep under the stars.

To ensure you have enough room to move around your cabin, we recommend you bring a small to medium-sized suitcase or backpack.

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.

Here’s What The Mates Are Saying

Fethiye to Marmaris, 3 nights

We had a great time on the 4 day trip from Olympos to Fethiye. The food was unreal, scenery was even more beautiful than the photos, and we had a great group of travelers.

Would have been nice to have a little bit more communication regarding hotel pick-up in advance. Note also that the cabins are small (to be expected) and very warm. We all slept on the upper deck under the stars and it was incredible.
