Tuesday | Olympos → Demre → Gokkaya Bay (Party Night)
Welcome aboard, legends! Your Sail Turkey adventure starts today — we’re cruising from Demre to Fethiye with a fantastic mix of travellers.
Pick-up begins around 13:00 from Olympos, and continues through Demre before boarding at 14:30. We set sail at 15:00 sharp, music up, drinks in hand, and good vibes rolling.
(Exact pick-up times are confirmed by email the day before departure.)
When you step on deck, you’ll meet your crew, your new travel mates — and a few legends already onboard from our Fethiye – Kekova – Fethiye cruise, who’ve been living the Sail Turkey life all week. It’s the perfect mix of new faces and seasoned party pros.
Our first stop: Turtle Beach. Jump in and swim alongside sea turtles — a once-in-a-lifetime start to your cruise.
After five o’clock tea, we head to Buzaglik Bay or Camlik Bay, a calm, turquoise haven perfect for paddleboarding and chill sessions on deck.
As the sun dips, we cruise past Pirates Cave for sunset photos before anchoring at Gokkaya Bay, near the old Church.
The night kicks off at Smugglers Inn Island Bar — lights, beats, and cocktails under the stars. It’s your first Sail Turkey party night, and trust us, it’s iconic.
Party Vibe: Smugglers Inn — beach lights, barefoot dancing, and unforgettable energy.
Pro Tip: Bring something fun to wear — this night always becomes the highlight of the week.
Meals: Lunch, Five o’clock Tea, Dinner
Accommodation: Turkish Gulet
Wednesday | Simena → Sunken City → Kas
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, Inonu, 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 Kas, one of Turkey’s coolest little towns. You’ll have free time to wander the cobblestone streets, grab a drink, or even try scuba diving — Kas 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 Limanagzı Bay or Hidayet Bay for the night. It’s a perfect spot for swimming at sunset, dinner on deck, and drinks with your new crew under the stars.
Don’t Miss: Simena Castle views + ice cream.
Optional: Scuba diving in Kaş — even beginners can join.
Pro Tip: The water at Limanağzı glows blue at sunrise — go for an early swim!
Meals: Breakfast, Lunch, Five o’clock Tea, Dinner
Accommodation: Turkish Gulet
Thursday | Butterfly Valley → Blue Lagoon → St. Nicholas Island
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 Oludeniz — the one you’ve seen in every Turkey reel on Instagram.
Go paddleboarding, take a dip, or go big with paragliding from Babadag Mountain — 2,000 meters above the sea, pure adrenaline and unreal views.
After lunch at Soguksu Bay or Camel Beach, it’s time to slow down. The crew sets course for St. Nicholas Island, our overnight stop next to the ancient church ruins.
You can jump in for watersports, take the dinghy to 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 last-night energy.
Optional: Paragliding over Oludeniz or watersports near St. Nicholas Island.
Don’t Miss: The sunset from St. Nicholas Church — it’s one of the best in Turkey.
Pro Tip: Bring comfy shoes for the island hike — the view from the top is worth it.
Meals: Breakfast, Lunch, Five o’clock Tea, Dinner
Accommodation: Turkish Gulet
Friday | Tarzan Bay → Samanlik Bay → Fethiye
Your last morning on the Med — make it count.
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
Disembarkation: 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?

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.
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.
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.
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.
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! If you book all 16 spots, the Gulet becomes completely private for your group.
The total boat price is shown in the pricing table under “Private Use – Whole Boat.”
That means:
To make the cruise exclusive, all 16 berths need to be booked.
If you’re a smaller group and want full privacy, you can still book the whole boat at the total private price.
