8 Days in Turkey
Bodrum
The journey begins in Bodrum, one of the Mediterranean’s most iconic port cities, dominated by its castle and a lively waterfront. Whitewashed streets, boutiques, and the memory of ancient Halicarnassus, home to one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World, offer an introduction full of charm and history.
Bodrum - Cnidus
Sail towards Cnidus, an ancient city located at the end of a spectacular peninsula, at the point where the Aegean Sea meets the Mediterranean. The amphitheatres, the ruins of the Temple of Aphrodite, and a striking anchorage make this stop particularly fascinating for history lovers.
Cnidus - Datça
Continue towards Datça, a quiet town framed by rugged mountains and blue waters. Famous for its almonds and honey, it offers craft markets, a pleasant seaside promenade, and the authentic atmosphere of Turkish coastal life.
Datça - Selimiye
You reach Selimiye, an enchanting, slow-paced village overlooking a protected natural harbour. Fresh fish, cafés on the pier, and serene views of the surrounding hills accompany a day dedicated to tranquillity and local flavours.
Selimiye - Ekincik
Sail towards the bay of Ekincik, a natural refuge immersed in greenery. From here, an excursion through the river reeds leads to Dalyan, the Lycian rock tombs carved into the cliffs, and the ancient city of Kaunos.
Ekincik - Göcek
Continue to Göcek, an elegant seaside town surrounded by green hills and tranquil waters. Its marina, with its cafés and boutiques, is the natural starting point for exploring the sheltered bays of the surrounding gulf.
Göcek - Fethiye Islands
A short passage leads to the twelve islands at the entrance to the Gulf of Fethiye, one of Turkey’s most compelling stretches of coast. Anchor at Tersane Island, with its ancient Byzantine shipyards, or among the Yassıca Islands for long swims in calm, sheltered waters.
Fethiye Islands - Göcek
A final passage through the inlets of the gulf returns to Göcek. One last anchorage and a final swim in cobalt waters conclude the journey in one of the most tranquil corners of the Turkish coast.

GOOD TO KNOW
FAQ
How is the itinerary defined?
Each itinerary is tailored alongside the Captain and the charter team, based on the guests’ preferences, the duration of the cruise, and the desired destinations. Every detail is carefully planned to create a bespoke journey. The itinerary remains flexible and can be adapted during the cruise according to weather conditions, port availability, or guests’ needs, always under the Captain’s supervision.
Can the itinerary change during the cruise?
Yes. Weather and sea conditions can influence navigation and require adjustments to some stops. In these cases, the Captain will always propose alternatives designed to ensure comfort, safety, and the best possible experience on board.
Who decides the stops and navigation times?
The itinerary is agreed upon with the guests, but the Captain plays a key role thanks to their knowledge of the destination, navigation conditions, and best anchorages. Following their suggestions allows guests to experience a more authentic, relaxed, and safe cruise. Upon request, a proposed itinerary can be provided to maximise the cruising experience and highlight the features of the chosen destination.
What is the APA (Advance Provisioning Allowance)?
The APA is an advance fund paid by the Charterer at least one month before departure, usually 25–30% of the charter fee for sailing yachts and 35–40% for motor yachts. This amount covers the operational expenses of the cruise, such as fuel, moorings, port taxes, provisions, and any additional requests made during the charter. Throughout the cruise, the Captain keeps track of all expenses and regularly updates the guests. At the end of the charter, a detailed statement with supporting receipts is provided: any unused funds are refunded, while additional costs must be settled before disembarkation.
What are Delivery Fees?
Delivery Fees cover the cost of relocating the yacht to or from a port other than its base. They apply when the charter begins or ends in a location different from the yacht’s usual mooring. The fee is generally calculated according to fuel consumption, distance, and the time required to transfer the yacht and crew. Delivery Fees vary according to the season, yacht availability, and the schedule of preceding or subsequent charters, and are assessed case by case.
What is the Preference List?
At least one month before departure, the Charterer sends the Broker a Preference List containing the information required to personalise the onboard experience. Guests can indicate dietary preferences, allergies or intolerances, special requests, and any other details the crew needs to prepare the charter with care. This allows the Captain, chef, and crew to organise every aspect of the service accurately and around the guests’ preferences.
Is the crew gratuity included?
The crew gratuity is not included in the charter fee and is generally offered at the end of the cruise as a gesture of appreciation for the service received on board. In the yachting industry, an amount between 10% and 15% of the charter fee is customary, although it remains entirely discretionary. We share this established international charter practice transparently to provide guests with a useful reference.
