Fethiye ↔ Marmaris | Fortuna or Parss Gulet

After a delicious breakfast on deck, we sail to Tersane Island (Shipyard Island), the largest island in the Gulf of Gocek. Rich in naval history, this sheltered island served as a active shipyard during Byzantine and Ottoman times. You can swim in its crystal-clear turquoise waters directly over sunken ancient watchtowers and foundations. In the afternoon, we navigate to Aga Limani Bay, a tranquil, deep cove with exceptionally clear waters, perfect for an evening swim, snorkeling, and a relaxing dinner anchored in nature.

Early in the morning, we cross the Gulf of Fethiye toward Ekincik Bay, a scenic haven surrounded by steep, pine-forested mountains. Here, you can relax onboard or take an optional excursion to Dalyan via local riverboats. This guided tour navigates through the winding reeds of the Dalyan Delta, passing directly in front of the awe-inspiring Lycian Rock Tombs carved into the cliff faces at Kaunos, and offers a chance to explore the ancient Greco-Roman ruins and mud baths before returning to the yacht for dinner.

After breakfast, we head toward Turunc Bay or Paradise Island (Cennet Adasi), an idyllic peninsula guarding the entrance to Marmaris Bay. Enjoy a leisurely morning swimming in calm, clear waters followed by lunch on board. In the late afternoon, we dock in Marmaris Harbor. Framed by a historic 16th-century Ottoman castle built by Sultan Suleiman the Magnificent, Marmaris offers a bustling marina, elegant waterfront dining, vibrant nightlife, and a bustling grand bazaar for those looking to explore.

Leaving Marmaris after breakfast, we cruise to Kumlubuk Bay, famous for its wide, peaceful beach, dramatic mountain backdrop, and incredibly clear waters. It is an ideal setting for morning watersports, swimming, and sunbathing. In the afternoon, we continue to Semizce Bay, an uninhabited and secluded bay framed by dense greenery. Free from light pollution and city noise, Semizce offers an exceptionally serene night under the starlit Mediterranean sky.

Today we cruise into the world-renowned Gulf of Gocek, stopping near Kuyruk Burnu for breakfast before arriving at Cleopatra Bay (Manastir Bay). Local legend tells that Queen Cleopatra herself visited this bay, where you can swim directly among submerged Roman bathhouse ruins. Later, we navigate to Bedri Rahmi Bay, named after the famous Turkish painter and poet who painted a fish on a rock here in 1973. Surrounded by pine trees and hidden Lycian tombs, this iconic bay provides a picturesque backdrop for our overnight anchor.

On our final full day, we explore the serene Yassica Islands, a cluster of small, uninhabited islets with shallow, turquoise passages that resemble a natural swimming pool. It is the perfect location for a final swim, paddleboarding, or snorkeling session. In the late afternoon, we set sail back to Fethiye Harbor for our final night onboard, enjoying a celebratory farewell dinner prepared by our chef.

Following a final breakfast on board, disembarkation takes place in Fethiye Harbor at 09:00 AM. You will depart with cherished memories, new friendships, and a deep appreciation for Turkey's magnificent coastlines.
