Discover calm blue waters with best Turkey sail tour Bodrum to Fethiye

8 DAYS / 7 NIGHTS


Tour Info

Begin your journey in lively Bodrum where warm lights reflect across the harbour and the castle rises above the shoreline. From here, your premium gulet eases into open water and carries you toward Fethiye the scenic way. Over eight relaxed days, you will drift through the deep blue coves of Black Island, walk among the ancient remains of Knidos, explore colourful Datca, feel the energy of Marmaris and weave through the island scattered bays of Gocek before arriving at Fethiye’s welcoming marina.

Your days flow with unhurried swim breaks in clear water, quiet paddling sessions from the stern and coastal paths that lead to forgotten theatres and windswept viewpoints. Evenings bring generous dinners under the open sky, soft conversations on deck and the soothing sleep that only a wooden yacht can offer.

This small group voyage gives you the spirit of a Bodrum yacht charter with the comfort of a hosted journey. It is ideal for travellers who want ease without missing the excitement of discovering new places. Whether you have been browsing Turkey sailing holidays or considering the Bodrum to Fethiye direction for another season, this route offers all the highlights with a fresh and balanced rhythm. Your captain guides the gulet into coves that large vessels cannot approach and your ensuite cabin plus friendly local crew take care of the rest.

If you are dreaming of extending the adventure or planning a special celebration, you can even add a Turkey private yacht charter before or after the cruise. Once you experience this coastline under sail, returning to land life feels almost impossible.

Day 1

Bodrum, Black Island

Check in from 14.00 at the Bodrum marina where you meet your crew and settle into your ensuite cabin on our boutique style gulet.
