The ultimate Sail Turkey party loop — double the bays, double the fun!
Ready for six unforgettable nights on the Mediterranean?
Our 18–35’s Fethiye – Kekova – Fethiye Gulet Cruise is the original Sail Turkey party adventure — a social, sun-soaked escape along Turkey’s stunning Turquoise Coast, made for travellers who love to swim all day and celebrate under the stars.
Cruise from Fethiye to Kekova, stopping at iconic highlights like Butterfly Valley, Oludeniz Blue Lagoon, St. Nicholas Island, Kas, and the legendary Smugglers Inn — before looping back to Fethiye for one final sunset celebration.
This route combines the best of our Fethiye to Olympos and Olympos to Fethiye itineraries, meaning you’ll revisit a few favourite bays on the return leg — perfect if you want more time to swim, tan, and enjoy your favourite spots twice.
Prefer a one-way adventure?
Join our Fethiye to Demre (6 Nights) One-Way Sail Turkey Cruise — the same stunning coastline, but no repeated bays and free airport transfers included.

Meet your crew and your new travel family at the SAILNSTAY Fethiye office at 14:00. Drop your bag, grab something cold, and get ready to sail — we depart at 14:30 sharp!
First swim stop: Samanlik Bay or Red Island (Kızılada) — the official dive-in moment. Music’s on, drinks are out, and the Med is calling.
As afternoon fades, we anchor at Boncuklu Bay or Tarzan Bay for your first Sail Turkey sunset — golden light, deck vibes, and everyone easing into holiday mode.
Dinner rolls straight into drinks under the stars. It’s laid-back, social, and the start of a week you’ll talk about all summer.

Sunday | Butterfly Valley → Blue Lagoon → St. Nicholas Island
Wake up to sunlight on the water — coffee on deck, music low, and the sound of waves as we sail toward Butterfly Valley. We anchor for breakfast and a swim, surrounded by towering cliffs and hidden waterfalls. If the sea’s calm, you can swim ashore or hike to the viewpoint for unreal photos.
Next stop: the world-famous Blue Lagoon (Oludeniz) — one of the most photographed beaches in Turkey. Go paddleboarding, float in turquoise water, or go big with paragliding from Babadag Mountain — 2,000 meters above the coast and pure adrenaline. We serve lunch right in the Blue Lagoon, surrounded by mountain views and colourful paragliders flying above.
By late afternoon, we sail to St. Nicholas Island, a peaceful bay scattered with ancient ruins. Take the dinghy ashore to explore the old church, hike up to the hilltop for a jaw-dropping sunset, or stay onboard for sunset drinks and music.
Dinner’s served fresh off the barbecue — good food, good tunes, and the perfect end to your first full day at sea.

Monday | Kas → Kekova → Simena Castle → Smugglers Inn Party Night
Early start, smooth seas — grab your coffee and chill on deck as we cruise past Patara Beach, the longest stretch of sand in Turkey.
After breakfast, we roll into the colourful harbour town of Kas — your kind of stop. Wander the cobbled streets, hit the local cafés, or jump into an optional scuba dive — Kas is Turkey’s dive capital for a reason.
After lunch, we sail to Kekova Island, gliding above the Sunken City, an ancient Lycian town now lying beneath the crystal-clear sea.
(No swimming here — it’s protected, but the views are unreal.)
Then, it’s time for Simena Castle. Hike up to the top for that epic photo, grab homemade ice cream, and take in the panorama of turquoise bays.
As the sun dips, we drop anchor at Gokkaya Bay — where the real fun begins. Tonight is Smugglers Inn Party Night, an open-air island bar only reachable by boat.
Expect beach lights, great music, and the kind of night you’ll talk about for years.

Tuesday | Gökkaya Bay → Demre Harbour → Turtle Beach
Wake up easy — coffee, breakfast, and a lazy swim at Gokkaya Bay after last night’s Smugglers party vibes.
Today’s a chill sailing day with a little midweek action as we stop at Demre Harbour.
Here, some of our Fethiye to Olympos travellers will wave goodbye, while new friends from Olympos to Fethiye hop aboard to join the fun.
It’s quick, smooth, and just adds to the crew’s energy — more faces, new stories, same Sail Turkey vibe.
Once we’re back on the water, we sail past Pirates Cave and stop at Turtle Beach for a swim — keep your eyes peeled for sea turtles gliding by!
After five o’clock tea, we cruise toward Buzaglik Bay or Camlik Bay, calm turquoise hideaways perfect for paddleboarding, relaxing, and recharging before another night of fun.
As the sun sets, we return to Gokkaya Bay, anchoring near the old church for the Smugglers Inn Party Night, Round 2 — a second chance to dance, laugh, and make memories under the stars.
Party Vibe: New faces, same beach lights, and even bigger energy at Smugglers Inn.
Pro Tip: Don’t skip the second Smugglers night — it’s never the same twice.
Meals: Breakfast, Lunch, Five o’clock Tea, Dinner
Accommodation: Turkish Gulet
Wednesday | Simena → Sunken City → Kas (Explore & Chill Day)
Wake up in Hamidiye Bay with sunshine spilling over the cliffs — breakfast on deck, coffee in hand, and maybe a morning swim before we start cruising again.
Our service boat takes new guests on a quick dinghy ride to Simena Castle — a tiny hilltop village famous for its ruins, ice cream, and insane views over Kekova. Don’t forget your camera for this one.
Next, we cruise above the Sunken City of Kekova, where ancient Lycian ruins lie just beneath the surface — a surreal moment as you float over history.
Then, it’s time for a swim at Tersane Bay, once an ancient shipyard and now a turquoise paradise.
Depending on sea conditions, we’ll stop at Aperlai, İnönü, or Ufakdere Bay for a relaxed lunch stop — swim, chill, and recharge on deck while the crew cooks up something delicious.
By afternoon, we sail into Kaş, one of Turkey’s coolest coastal towns. You’ll have free time to wander the cobblestone streets, grab a drink, or even try scuba diving — Kaş is the dive capital of Turkey, and the water here is unreal.
As the sun dips, we head just outside town and drop anchor at Limanağzı Bay or Hidayet Bay for the night. It’s the perfect spot for a sunset swim, dinner on deck, and drinks under the stars.
Don’t Miss: Simena Castle views + homemade ice cream.
Optional: Scuba diving in Kaş — even first-timers can join.
Pro Tip: The water at Limanağzı glows blue at sunrise — jump in early!
Meals: Breakfast, Lunch, Five o’clock Tea, Dinner
Accommodation: Turkish Gulet
Thursday | Butterfly Valley → Blue Lagoon → St. Nicholas Island (Farewell Night)
It’s your last full day at sea — so make it count.
Grab a coffee on deck as we cruise past Patara Beach, the longest and wildest stretch of sand in Turkey.
We’ll drop anchor at Butterfly Valley for breakfast and a swim — cliffs towering above, waterfalls hidden in the canyon, and turquoise water all around. (Stop depends on sea conditions, but when it’s calm, it’s magic.)
Next up: the Blue Lagoon in Ölüdeniz — the one you’ve seen in every Turkey reel on Instagram.
Go paddleboarding, take a dip, or go big with paragliding from Babadağ Mountain — 2,000 meters above the sea, pure adrenaline and unreal views.
After lunch at Soğuksu Bay or Camel Beach, it’s time to slow down. The crew sets course for St. Nicholas Island, our overnight stop beside ancient Byzantine ruins.
Jump in for watersports, take the dinghy to explore the island, or climb to the top for one of the best sunsets in Turkey — a sky of gold and pink over the sea.
Back on board, we fire up dinner, share a few drinks, and soak in that final-night energy with your Sail Turkey crew.
Optional: Paragliding over Ölüdeniz or watersports at St. Nicholas Island
Don’t Miss: The sunset from St. Nicholas Church — it’s one of the best in Turkey

Meals: Breakfast, Lunch, Five o’clock Tea, Dinner
Accommodation: Turkish Gulet
Friday | Tarzan Bay → Samanlik Bay → Fethiye Harbour (Farewell Day)
Wake up to the sound of the sea one last time — the soft waves, the smell of coffee, and the quiet chatter of new friends you’ve shared an unforgettable week with.
We start the day with breakfast at Tarzan Bay, a local favourite where you can swing from the rope into the turquoise water or just chill on deck with your coffee.
After a lazy morning swim, we sail toward Samanlik Bay for lunch and your final dip in the Mediterranean — the perfect ending to a week of sun, sea, and good vibes.
By mid-afternoon, we cruise back into Fethiye Harbour around 16:00, where it’s time to say goodbye to your crew and new Sail Turkey friends.
Expect hugs, photos, and promises to meet again somewhere on the Med.
Don’t Miss: That last rope-swing jump at Tarzan Bay — it’s the perfect send-off.
Pro Tip: Keep your swimsuit handy for one final swim before we dock.
Meals: Breakfast, Lunch
Accommodation: Turkish Gulet (Disembarkation at Fethiye Harbour ≈ 16:00)
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.
All prices (EUR) are per person based on double or twin share occupancy. What are Cabin arrangements like?

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.
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.
