Luxury Gulet Cruises from Fethiye

Gulet Cruises in Turkey and the Greek Islands

Set sail aboard Arkadaslik and discover the Turkish Mediterranean on a memorable luxury gulet cruise from Fethiye. We offer private gulet charters and shared cabin cruises along Turkey's spectacular coast and into the Greek Dodecanese islands, with opportunities to swim in secluded bays, visit coastal towns, discover ancient sites, and enjoy the region's natural beauty.

We're a small, family-run business, not a large charter company selling one-size-fits-all holidays. Our personal involvement and genuine enthusiasm for this region shape the way we approach every cruise. Whether you choose a private charter or join one of our shared cruises, you'll sail with a team that takes a personal interest in making your holiday special.

Our Gulet Cruise Itineraries

From the sheltered bays of the Göcek Islands to the picturesque Lycian coast and the Greek Dodecanese islands, our gulet cruises from Fethiye offer three distinct ways to experience the eastern Mediterranean. The itineraries below provide inspiration and a starting point for planning your holiday, rather than fixed schedules. For private charters, we work with you to adapt the route to your interests and preferences.

Relax in the Göcek Islands

Cruise through the sheltered Göcek Islands, where pine-covered shores, turquoise bays, and quiet anchorages make for a relaxing escape. PParticularly popular with families travelling with young children and guests looking to unwind, this route offers plenty of opportunities for swimming, snorkelling, and enjoying life on the water.

Göcek Getaways

Discover the Turkish Coast

Explore the spectacular Turkish coast with opportunities to visit ancient sites and coastal towns, swim in secluded bays, and enjoy a range of activities along the way. Whether you're interested in scuba diving, paragliding, shopping, or simply relaxing by the water, cruises along Turkey's shoreline offer a mix of adventure, culture, and beautiful coastal scenery.

Turkish Coast Cruises

Adventure to the Greek Islands

Cruise from Turkey to the Greek Dodecanese islands, where each island has its own character. Explore the lively streets of Rhodes Town, with its excellent restaurants, shopping, and nightlife, or unwind in quiet harbours and waterfront villages. Along the way, swim in clear waters, discover local towns, and experience the unique atmosphere of the Greek islands.

Why Choose Arkadaslik Yachting?

Our aim is simple: to offer gulet holidays where guests feel welcome and well looked after, and leave with memories that last a lifetime.

A Personal Approach: We're personally involved in making sure every guest has a great experience. From your first enquiry to the end of your cruise, you'll deal directly with us, not a booking agent or sales team. We take pride in getting to know our guests and understanding what they're looking for in a holiday.
Local Knowledge That Makes a Difference: Captain Oktay brings years of experience navigating the Turkish and Greek coastlines. His local knowledge helps us introduce guests to fascinating historic sites, beautiful anchorages, and places they might otherwise miss. A cruise with us is about enjoying the journey as much as the destinations.
Comfort Without the Formalities: We believe a luxury gulet holiday is about more than the boat itself. It's about attentive service, genuine hospitality, good food, and a relaxed atmosphere where guests feel well looked after. We combine these with a laid-back approach, without unnecessary formality or inflated prices.
