Private Cruises with Arkadaslik Yachting
Turkish Gulet Cruises for Families and Small Groups
At Arkadaslik Yachting, we specialize in hosting Turkish gulet cruises for families and small groups who appreciate luxury travel.
What Makes Our Private Cruises so Special?
Besides cruising on an immaculately clean and comfortable gulet and enjoying spectacular scenery enroute, we:
- work with you to design an itinerary that appeals to the interests of your group
- prepare fantastic meals based on your tastes and preferences, and make sure there are always plenty of snacks and your favourite cold drinks on hand
- maintain our boat to the highest standards to ensure your comfort and safety
- provide friendly and professional service – before, during, and after your cruise
- treat you like friends visiting our home, rather than customers on a boat trip
Whether you're planning your next family vacation or organizing a getaway with friends, we invite you to consider a Turkish gulet cruise with Arkadaslik Yachting. Because of our personalized approach, we really do create Dream Vacations, one cruise at a time!

We love travelling with this 3-generational group from Canada and the US. Two years ago, their Blue Cruise around the Greek Islands in the Dodecanese region was rerouted due to bad weather. Perhaps we'll finally be able to visit the missed islands on this trip!

This group is travelling from the US, so we've planned an itinerary that shows off the Turkish coast at its best. This route combines the tranquility of the Göcek Islands, with the history (and mystery) of Gemiler Island, the spectacular colours of Ölüdeniz and the Blue Lagoon, and the excitement of an open water crossing - all in the space of 5 days!
