Sail Turkey | Fethiye to Bodrum 7 Nights Blue Cruise

Boarding begins at 15:00 at Fethiye Marina, where you will be warmly welcomed aboard by our attentive crew and sailing host. Once you have settled into your private en suite cabin, we set sail along the picturesque Fethiye coastline. A brief introductory cruise brings us to the famous Tarzan Bay, where crystal clear turquoise waters invite you for your very first swim of the trip. As twilight falls over the Mediterranean, enjoy a freshly prepared dinner served open air on deck, followed by a serene first evening stargazing from the foredeck.

Wake up surrounded by the sheltered beauty of the Göcek archipelago. Our gulet glides between secluded islands and pristine coves throughout the day. Dive into the turquoise sea at Cleopatra’s Bath (Hamam Bay) to swim over partially submerged Roman ruins, then anchor at Bedri Rahmi Bay to admire the historic fish motif painted onto the cliff face. In the afternoon, snorkel around the coastal ruins of Tersane (Shipyard) Island before mooring near Göcek town for an evening ashore filled with harbor strolls, local meze tasting, and waterfront dining.

We drop anchor in the wide, peaceful inlet of Ekincik Bay, framed by pine covered hills. The mirror like waters are perfect for a morning swim or paddleboarding directly from the stern platform. Guests seeking an extra touch of adventure can join an optional riverboat excursion through the Dalyan Delta. Navigate reed lined channels to see the ancient Lycian rock tombs carved into the cliffside, visit the mud baths, and walk along protected Turtle Beach (İztuzu). We gather back on the gulet for a relaxing seafood dinner as the sun sets over the sea.

Start your day with an early swim stop in the quiet waters of Kumlubük Bay, with an optional morning hike up to the hilltop ruins of ancient Amos for sweeping views across the coast. Later, we drop anchor at Cennet Adası (Paradise Island) for an afternoon break under the pine trees. By late afternoon, we berth in Marmaris Harbour. Take the evening to explore the Ottoman era caravanserai, wander through old town alleyways, visit Marmaris Castle, or enjoy the vibrant harbor atmosphere.

Departing Marmaris in the morning, we sail toward Kadırga Bay for a refreshing swim stop and a sun soaked afternoon on deck. Later, we head toward Bozukkale, historically known as ancient Loryma, anchoring within its vast, naturally protected harbor. Guests can walk ashore to explore the massive stone walls of the ancient fortress guarding the bay entrance or simply relax onboard as our chef prepares another delicious dinner served under the open sky.

Our morning cruise brings us to Palamutbükü, celebrated for its exceptionally clear waters and pebble beach ideal for a peaceful early morning swim. Next, we sail to the tip of the peninsula to visit ancient Knidos. Step ashore to walk among classical amphitheaters, temple ruins, and ancient harbor walls where the Aegean meets the Mediterranean. By late afternoon, we dock in Datça Harbour, giving you time to explore honey toned stone streets, shop at local boutiques, and enjoy a sunset drink before a quiet overnight stay.

An early morning passage brings us to Kara Ada (Black Island) for a final swim in its mineral rich, deep blue waters before breakfast is served on deck. By late morning, we round the peninsula into Bodrum’s iconic harbor, greeted by views of the medieval Bodrum Castle and whitewashed coastal houses. Spend your final afternoon and evening exploring the old town bazaars, visiting waterfront cafes, or celebrating the conclusion of an unforgettable journey in one of the Riviera's premier yachting hubs.

Savor a final Turkish breakfast on deck followed by morning coffee as you say goodbye to the crew and fellow travelers. Disembarkation takes place at Bodrum Harbour around 09:00. From here, you are perfectly situated to visit the Museum of Underwater Archaeology, explore Bodrum's vibrant center, or continue your travel arrangements across Türkiye and the Aegean islands.
