Individuals or small groups of any nationality and age are most welcome to join. Yachting is usually thought of as an expensive luxury, but our cabin cruise rates and prices are based on per person, which makes it all the more affordable.

Departures
April to end of October, departs almost everyday.

Need to book ahead
You do need to book ahead. Guide books recommend that you should go to the harbour and book, but this has changed. In the last few years our cruises have become so popular that not many people visiting Turkey leave without experiencing the Fethiye - Olympos Cruise.
*Please note that in peak season we may be fully booked 2.5 - 3 weeks ahead of departure times so booking ahead is essential.

Sleeping / Accommodation
Depending on the boat, cabins have 1 big double bed, 2 beds or 3 beds, all cabins have a private bathroom and hot shower. You can share your cabin with your partner or friends. If you are travelling solo, you will share a cabin with another person unless the boat isn’t full.
You can also book a private cabin for yourself for double the cost. Most people sleep on the deck under the stars rather than their cabins!

Where are the people from?
Large percentage of our customers are from English speaking countries, however we also get guests from other European countries.

Quiet trips or party boats?
Customers make the atmosphere so it all depends on who is on the yacht. Alaturka has departures everyday, some days more than 1 or 2 yachts are leaving, so we do consider age groups and requests when booking. We try to make it work for everyone but we cannot guarantee whether it is going to be quiet or a party boat, as we take bookings through out the year and only meet customers the morning of the cruise.

Crew
Usually 3 crew on each boat, Captain, Chef & Skipper. Depending on size & conditions of Gulet there may be 1 less or 1 extra crew. Rare but we may not have good English speaking crew on board on some trips.
