SATURDAY
Marmaris - Paradise Island
Marmaris Harbour
Your blue cruise begins in Marmaris. Boarding opens at 16:00 at Marmaris Harbour, where you step aboard your traditional wooden gulet. After a short briefing and time to settle into your cabin, we set sail for the calm water of Paradise Island (Cennet Adası) for a first swim and your first night surrounded by nature. We leave Marmaris Harbour no later than 18:00. Guests arriving after that make their own way to Adaköy Marina, where the crew brings them aboard by dinghy free of charge. Dinner is served on board, but no dinner service is available for arrivals after 22:00.
SUNDAY
Ekincik Bay
Ekincik Bay
We start the morning with breakfast on board while sailing early along the coast towards Ekincik Bay. Ringed by pine-covered hills and clear water, Ekincik is a fine place to slow down: swim, snorkel and play in the cove before lunch is served at anchor. If you would rather see something of the land, there is an optional half-day Dalyan & Caunos excursion from Ekincik. You board local river boats to explore the reed-lined channels of the Dalyan delta, see the ancient Lycian rock tombs, visit the ancient city of Caunos and spend time at İztuzu (Turtle) Beach. Dinner and the night are spent at anchor in the peaceful bay of Ekincik. You can also just stay on deck and enjoy the quiet evening.
MONDAY
Port of Aga - Sunken Bath
Cleopatra's Bath (Hamam Bay)
Early in the morning we cross the Gulf of Fethiye towards the Port of Aga (Ağa Limanı). Surrounded by turquoise water and green hills, we take a refreshing morning swim and have breakfast on board. Later in the afternoon we head deeper into the Gulf of Göcek to the Sunken Bath (Cleopatra's Bath Bay). Known for the submerged remains of a Roman bath, it offers the rare experience of snorkelling directly over history. For walkers, a scenic trail winds through dense pine forest along the shore with panoramic views over the bay. Dinner and a tranquil night at anchor await you in this historic natural harbour.
TUESDAY
Kızılada - Fethiye - Çığlık Bay
Fethiye
In the morning we cruise to Kızılada (Red Island), known for the reddish pebbles that glow in the sun. There is an invigorating swim stop and breakfast on board before we make for Fethiye Harbour. Fethiye Harbour is the cruise's logistical hub: provisioning, fresh water and guest changeovers, with disembarkation at 12:00 and new embarkations at 16:00. Day 4 falls on a Tuesday, so you can go ashore for the famous Fethiye Tuesday market and its spices, Turkish delight and handicrafts. Two optional land activities are available: an off-road quad bike safari (pick-up at 11:45, about 1.5–2 hours) or tandem paragliding over Ölüdeniz (pick-up at 11:45 for the 13:00 flight slot). At around 16:00 the yacht leaves Fethiye Harbour for the secluded water of Çığlık Bay, where dinner and the night are spent at anchor.
WEDNESDAY
Şeytan Island - Domuz Island - Dış Göbün
Cleopatra's Bath (Hamam Bay)
We wake to a quiet morning in Çığlık Bay, start with a peaceful breakfast on board and cruise to Şeytan Island (Devil's Island) for a swimming break in its clear turquoise water. We then sail on to Domuz Island (Pig Island), known for its pine-shaded coves and rich coastal scenery. Lunch is served on board surrounded by unspoilt nature. Late in the afternoon we drop anchor in Dış Göbün, one of the most protected and scenic spots just outside the Gulf of Göcek. Steep pine-clad hills close in around the bay; relax on deck or swim in the calm, sheltered water. Dinner and the night are spent in Dış Göbün.
THURSDAY
Aşı Bay - Semizce Bay
Ekincik Bay
Early in the day we begin the return leg towards Marmaris, cruising first to Aşı Bay. Rugged hills and clear deep water make it ideal for snorkelling and for simply enjoying the sea breeze. Lunch is served on board in this scenic cove. Later in the afternoon we set sail for Semizce Bay, a tranquil natural haven along the coast. Once the day-trip boats have left, the bay becomes extraordinarily calm for the evening. Dinner and the last night on board are spent at anchor in the quiet of Semizce Bay.
FRIDAY
Kumlubük - Marmaris
Kumlubük Bay
Early in the morning the yacht sails from Semizce Bay to Kumlubük, where breakfast and a final morning swim are served in the bay. Kumlubük is famous for its crystal-clear turquoise water and for its closeness to the ancient city of Amos, one of the most prominent settlements of ancient Caria, known for its hilltop theatre and sweeping coastal views. After breakfast we sail on to Marmaris Harbour for final disembarkation by 12:00, closing your blue cruise. If you would like to stay on in Marmaris for the weekend, let our team know in advance and we will gladly help with hotel recommendations and reservations.
