Private yacht charter is perfect for families and larger groups of friends who want that extra flexibility to set their own program. As a private party, you are free to charter the yacht for any agreed period of time and you may also determine the route. We can recommend the best of the time you have available.
Our most popular and preferred cruise is the 12 Islands . Check out our maps page for detailed information. During this cruise you will visit the Islands and bays in and around Fethiye Gulf. Just to name a few, and give you an idea of how pristine this part of the world is we'll visit Tersane Island (Dockyard Island), walk through the ruins from the Byzantine Periods. Bedri Rahmi Bay (Lycian Bay), take a walk to find the painting of the fish on a rock, here you can also try your hand a water sports offered by the locals from the area. Manastir Bay (Cleopatra's Bath), snorkel through this submerged Byzantine ruin and dive into crystal clear waters. Others include Göbün Bay, Merdivenli Bay, At Bükü and Yassica Islands (Flat Island) walk to the top and get birds eye view of this beautiful island and its bay and as we head to the mainland take a stroll through the quaint town of Göcek Harbour.
This cruise is similar to the well known Fethiye - Marmaris cruise. We visit the 12 Islands area and return back to Fethiye on your last day instead of taking the long journey motoring to Marmaris. This cruise is much more relaxing as after the 12 Islands it is open sea to Marmaris. You might also like to know that most of the weekly Bodrum boats head straight for the 12 Islands aswell. They have an even longer journey motoring for over 12 hours to reach them. Fethiye is the perfect town to start and finish your Blue Cruise holiday.
If you prefer to take longer to relax on board with us, you can also sail south, visiting Gemiler Island (St Nicholas Island), here you can walk through many Byzantine ruins, this was once an important site in early Christianity. The Island would have been an important stopping point for boats, offering as it did both a safe harbour and a place to pray for a safe journey; St Nicholas is the patron saint for Sailors. Once at the top look down and take in the sunset over a bottle of wine to share with your close friends. Another stop is Cold Spring Bay, where beautiful fresh cold water seeps out of a spring in the sea, here you can also take a walk to the ghost town of Kaya Koy, an old Greek settlement in recent times but this town actually dates back to ancient time and the settlement would have been called Karmilassos. This is highly recommended if you have the time. Snorkel or paraglide at the famous picturesque beach of Ölüdeniz (Blue Lagoon). Set Sail to Butterfly Valley if the weather allows it, and take a walk to see the Jersey Tiger Butterflies that visit the valley from June to September. A fresh waterfall also runs into the valley from the village of Faralya above...
One thing is certain you won't visit the same bay twice. There is so much to see and discover!
Then..
All you need to do is relax, sunbake, snorkel, listen to music, read a book and even try your hand at water skiing. Sail along from day to day discovering bay after bay of calm blue waters. It all adds up to a perfect Turkish experience.
