Various Charter Destinations

The classic “Blue Cruise” itineraries in Turkey typically sail to ancient cities, historic harbors, and secluded bays along the Turquoise Coast (with some routes even hopping over to the Greek Isles). Whether you want to dance the night away in a lively port town or anchor under the stars in a tranquil bay, we craft itineraries that reveal the region’s best-kept secrets, tailoring each route to your curiosity and sense of adventure. Our destination expertise runs deeper than surface-level beauty. We’ve spent years cultivating relationships with local harbormasters, discovering which bays offer the most pristine swimming at dawn, and identifying restaurants where fishermen still bring their daily catch directly to kitchen doors.

This insider knowledge transforms ordinary stops into extraordinary experiences. In Kaş, we know the exact timing when golden hour light illuminates the Lycian rock tombs carved into cliffsides. At Butterfly Valley, we understand the seasonal migration patterns that determine the best viewing periods for these delicate creatures in their natural sanctuary.

The Turkish Coast offers an unparalleled tapestry of experiences across its 8,000 kilometers of shoreline. Ancient Lycian cities like Simena rise directly from crystalline waters, where you can swim among submerged ruins that once bustled with Roman merchants. The emerald bays of Göcek provide protected anchorages surrounded by pine-covered hills, perfect for families seeking calm waters and nature exploration. For those drawn to vibrant social scenes, the cosmopolitan atmosphere of Bodrum offers world-class dining, boutique shopping, and legendary nightlife, while still maintaining its authentic Turkish character.

Beyond Turkey’s borders, our carefully planned extensions into Greek waters add another layer of cultural richness to your journey. The short crossing to Rhodes reveals medieval fortifications and cobblestone streets, while Symi’s neoclassical architecture creates a painter’s palette of pastel buildings cascading down to the harbor. These international options allow you to experience the fascinating cultural transitions of the Eastern Mediterranean, where Turkish hospitality meets Greek island charm.

Each itinerary balances active exploration with peaceful relaxation. History enthusiasts might find themselves swimming in the same waters where Mark Antony and Cleopatra once sailed, followed by sunset drinks while our captain shares local legends passed down through generations of seafaring families. Adventure seekers can explore underwater caves accessible only by yacht, then enjoy traditional Turkish breakfast on secluded beaches where the only footprints in the sand are your own.
