Meet at Fethiye Yacht Harbour at 16:00 to be welcomed onboard Cheers Gulet. After completing port formalities and any last-minute shopping, we set sail for Red Island for our first overnight stay.

Göcek-Ağlimanı-Kocabükbay
Wake up to a freshly prepared Turkish breakfast with seasonal fruit, breads, eggs, olives, and more. After coffee, enjoy time for a refreshing morning swim before we cruise on to the next stop of your Göcek bay adventure.
We sail through the beautiful scenery of Göcek and anchor at Ağlimanı Bay for lunch. Afterward, take the chance to snorkel in crystal-clear water, where you’ll often spot plenty of marine life. Spend the afternoon unwinding on deck, surrounded by mountain views and fragrant pine forests along Turkey’s Mediterranean coast.
Around 16:00, we depart for Kocabük Bay for our overnight stay. Settle in and relax on deck as the sun drops, or, if you feel energetic, join an optional short hike to a viewpoint above the bay, perfect for unforgettable holiday photos on your Turkey blue cruise.
Göcek-Merdivenli Bay-Binlik Bay
Wake up slowly from a deep, restful sleep to another delicious breakfast onboard. Spend time with family and friends over breakfast, all served for you, then enjoy another refreshing swim in the calm water of Kocabük Bay.
From here we cruise to Merdivenli Bay, passing through the stunning forests and mountain scenery of Göcek. Settle on deck and watch the sun shimmer across the surface of the sea, creating postcard-perfect views as we sail Turkey’s Mediterranean coastline.
At Merdivenli Bay, you can continue relaxing onboard Cheers, or take a gentle walk along the small beach toward a nearby village. You may meet friendly locals and find organic honey and homemade jams for sale.
We return to the gulet for a fresh Turkish-style lunch, featuring cooked vegetables served with rice, bulgur, pasta, and breads. After lunch, we cruise on to Binlik Bay for our next overnight stay.
Cleopatra-Siralibük
Wake up to more precious time with family and friends and enjoy another delicious breakfast together. Everything is taken care of onboard, so you can simply relax and enjoy the morning at sea. After breakfast, start the day with a refreshing swim, stretch out on deck with a book, or sip coffee while soaking up the scenery around you.
From Binlik Bay, we take a short cruise to anchor at Sunken Bath (Cleopatra) Bay. Framed by pine trees, the water shifts from deep blue to bright turquoise as you approach the shore. This is a beautiful place to swim, and you can even explore the ancient ruins in the water at Hamam Bay, known for remains dating back to the 4th century BC. Local legend says Cleopatra once bathed here during her honeymoon with Mark Antony.
After lunch, we cruise on to Sıralıbük Bay for a relaxed afternoon and evening, and our next overnight stay on your Turkey blue cruise.
Bedri Rahmi bay-Yassıcalar
In the morning, we cruise to Bedri Rahmi Bay for breakfast, one of the most iconic stops on a Göcek blue cruise. This bay is named after Bedri Rahmi Eyüboğlu, a celebrated Turkish painter and poet. In 1974, during a blue cruise through Göcek, he painted a fish mural on a rock face, and the bay has carried his name ever since.
After another fresh breakfast onboard, you’ll have time to go ashore and photograph the famous fish mural, a unique piece of history set in a beautiful natural landscape.
From Bedri Rahmi Bay, we continue to Yassıcalar (Yassıca Islands) for our afternoon and overnight stay. Relax on deck with cocktails at the bow while the crew prepares a delicious BBQ dinner, then enjoy a peaceful evening at anchor on your Turkey gulet cruise.
Göcek-Boynuzbükü
Wake up in Yassıcalar Bay and ease into the day with a lazy breakfast and a refreshing swim before we set sail for Göcek Harbour. We spend around two hours in Göcek for sightseeing and shopping in the marina.
If you’d like an alternative adventure, you can choose an organised day trip to Dalyan. Dalyan is famous for its protected loggerhead sea turtles and the dramatic Lycian rock tombs carved into the cliffs, with time to explore the riverside village.
After Göcek, we cruise to the Bay of Boynuz for our overnight stay. Unwind on deck after a full day out while the crew prepares dinner, and enjoy the sunset as your Turkey blue cruise continues.
Fethiye-Samanlı Bay
In the morning, we enjoy breakfast in Tersane Bay, home to the remains of an ancient shipyard and fascinating archaeological ruins. Spend time exploring the shoreline, taking photos, and swimming in the calm waters before we continue the cruise.
For lunch, we move on to Samanlık Bay. Share a final delicious meal with family and friends, enjoy one more swim, and take in the last views of the coastline.
