Leap from the deck into the electric-blue bays of Bozukkale, snorkel beside rugged cliffs near Rabbit Island, and sail across the Aegean toward the whitewashed shores of Bodrum. This 4-day gulet adventure is made for travelers who want more than a beach holiday — expect hidden coves, ancient ruins, open-sea freedom, and unforgettable sunsets from the water.

Cruise from lively Marmaris to the dramatic peninsula of Datça, stopping for endless swim breaks in crystal-clear bays along the way. Explore the ancient ruins of Knidos, wander coastal harbours filled with cafés and bars, and spend your days sunbathing on deck, paddleboarding across calm water, or diving straight into the sea whenever the gulet drops anchor.

Designed for adventurous travelers aged 18–39, this social sailing trip combines relaxation, exploration, and vibrant coastal energy. Stay aboard a traditional wooden gulet with comfortable ensuite cabins, overnight air-conditioning, and freshly prepared Turkish meals included onboard.

Route details

Step aboard in Marmaris and meet your crew before casting off into the open sea, leaving the harbour energy behind. Feel the excitement rise as you sail into the turquoise waters of the Turkish coast and begin your journey along hidden bays and rugged peninsulas.

Cruise toward Kadirga Bay, where the first swim stop invites you to dive straight from the gulet into crystal-clear water. Stretch out on deck, soak up the sun, and let the coastline unfold around you as lunch is served at sea.

Continue sailing toward the wild beauty of Bozukkale, a dramatic natural harbour framed by rocky hills and ancient ruins. Climb up to the peninsula’s citadel for sweeping views and watch the sunset melt into the Aegean with a glass in hand.

As night falls, return to the gulet and drift to sleep surrounded by calm waters and starlight.

Cabin on the boat

3 nights

Enjoy 3 nights onboard a traditional Turkish gulet — a handcrafted wooden motor-yacht designed for comfortable cruising along the coast. Accommodating around 16 to 19 passengers, these charming vessels offer a relaxed and social atmosphere, with spacious decks ideal for sunbathing, enjoying the sea breeze, or diving straight into crystal-clear waters.

Accommodation is provided on a Premier Overnight Air-Conditioned Gulet, offering an upgraded experience compared to standard Classic Plus gulets. These boats are slightly larger and more spacious, with enhanced comfort features including hotel-style bathrooms with separate shower cabins rather than compact wet-room facilities.

Compact ensuite cabins with hotel-style shower rooms and toilets, overnight air-conditioning, and comfortable beds so you can sleep in your private cabin each night. Unlimited bottled drinking water is included throughout the cruise.
