Yoga Sail Turkey

A week of yoga, sunshine, and sea time in the stunning Göcek region, one of the most peaceful corners to sail Turkey. With 12 islands and short cruising distances between sheltered coves, each day brings a new bay, a new horizon, and the perfect natural rhythm for practice and rest.

Start your mornings early with lemon or sage tea, then step onto the mat and breathe in the quiet of a new day. After savasana, wake up with a snorkel and a swim in clear blue water, an unbeatable way to reset body and mind.

After practice, enjoy a traditional Turkish breakfast on board. Then relax on deck as we cruise to the next bay, usually arriving around lunchtime. Afternoons are free for sunbathing, snorkeling, reading, and private meditation in the shade. As the sun begins to drop, we return to the mat for a late-afternoon session with golden-hour views.

After evening practice there’s time to shower before dinner is served under the stars. Meals on board focus on locally sourced, seasonal fruits and vegetables, with BBQ meat or fish for dinner when available. Turkish cuisine is naturally rich in vegetable-based dishes, and vegetarian or vegan meals can be prepared on request.

During the week, we’ll include one afternoon visit to Göcek Marina for a walk, shopping, and fresh juices. You’ll also have chances to explore ancient ruins and enjoy short coastal trails along the route. Onboard, we have two kayaks and two SUPs if you’d like to add a little balance work, or even try a few asanas on the water.

For yoga teachers looking for a beautiful venue to host a retreat, this is a typical onboard program. The schedule and style are completely flexible: practice twice daily (early morning and before sunset) or once per day, depending on your group and the flow you want to create.

Blue Cruise-Fethiye-Göcek-Fethiye

Fethiye

Meet us at Fethiye Yacht Harbour at 16:00 to step aboard Cheers Gulet and begin your Fethiye–Göcek blue cruise. After completing port formalities and any last-minute shopping, we set sail toward Red Island, where we’ll anchor for our first overnight stay.

Settle in, stretch out on deck, and watch Fethiye fade into the distance as the coastline opens up. With Göcek’s island-dotted waters ahead, the scenery gets better by the minute—and your sail Turkey holiday starts exactly the way it should: calm seas, fresh air, and total relaxation.

Yoga Sail

Göcek-Kocabük Bay

Wake up to a freshly prepared breakfast on board, with seasonal fruit, warm breads, eggs, olives, and plenty more to fuel a perfect day at sea. After coffee or tea, there’s time for a refreshing morning swim before we cruise onward through the stunning Göcek coastline.

We sail to Ağ Limanı Bay for lunch, where turquoise water and calm conditions make it ideal for snorkelling. After lunch, explore the crystal-clear sea and look out for the rich marine life beneath the surface, then stretch out on deck and enjoy the scenery: pine-covered hills, rugged mountains, and peaceful bays that define a true sail Turkey experience.

Around 16:00, we weigh anchor and continue to Kocabük Bay for our overnight stay. Unwind on deck as the sun sets, or, if you’re feeling active, take a short hike for a spectacular viewpoint over the bay—perfect for unforgettable holiday photos.

Yoga Sail

Merdivenli Bay-Binlik Bay

Wake slowly from a deep, restful sleep to another delicious breakfast on board. Linger over coffee, enjoy time with friends, and soak up the calm morning atmosphere before jumping in for a refreshing swim in Kocabük Bay.

From here, we cruise on to Merdivenli Bay, gliding past Göcek’s pine-covered hills and dramatic mountain slopes. From the deck, watch the sunlight shimmer across the water, creating postcard-perfect views all day long.

At Merdivenli Bay, you can stay onboard and relax, or take a gentle walk along the small beach toward the nearby village, where a few welcoming locals sometimes offer organic honey, homemade jams, and olive oil.

Back on board, enjoy a hearty Turkish-style lunch featuring freshly cooked vegetables, served with rice, bulgur, pasta, and breads. After lunch, we continue to Binlik Bay for our next overnight stay—another peaceful anchorage in the heart of the Göcek bays as you sail Turkey.

Yoga Sail

Cleopatra Bay-Sirali Bük Bay

Start the day with another delicious breakfast on board, with everything taken care of so you can simply enjoy the slow morning and good company. After breakfast, wake up properly with a swim in Binlik Bay, then relax on deck with a book, a coffee, and the calm Göcek scenery all around you.

From Binlik, it’s a short cruise to Sunken Bath (Cleopatra) Bay, one of the most memorable swim stops in the area. Surrounded by pine forest, the water shifts from deep navy to bright turquoise as you approach the shore. Here you can swim over the ancient ruins of Hamam Bay, with remains dating back to the 4th century BC. Local legend says Cleopatra once bathed here with Marc Antony during their honeymoon.

After lunch, we continue to Sıralıbük Bay for a relaxed afternoon and evening at anchor, with dinner on board and an overnight stay in a peaceful, sheltered bay as you sail Turkey.

Yoga Sail

Bedri Rahmi Bay- Twelve islands

In the morning, we cruise to Bedri Rahmi Bay for breakfast, a must-see stop on any Göcek blue cruise. This bay is famous for its unique story: in 1974, the renowned Turkish painter and poet Bedri Rahmi Eyüboğlu joined a blue cruise in Göcek and painted a fish mural on the rock face. Since then, the bay has carried his name.

After breakfast, you’ll have time to go ashore and photograph the iconic fish painting, one of the most memorable little landmarks in the region.

Later, we continue to Yassıcalar, where we’ll spend the afternoon and our overnight stay in calm, turquoise water. Unwind at the front lounge with a cocktail in hand while the crew prepares a delicious BBQ dinner on board—an ideal evening as you sail Turkey through the Göcek islands.

Yoga Sail

Twelve islands-Göcek

Wake up in the calm turquoise waters of Yassıcalar Bay, then ease into the day with a lazy breakfast and a refreshing swim straight from the boat. Afterward, we sail into Göcek Harbour for around two hours, giving you time to explore the town, stroll the waterfront, and do a little shopping at Göcek Marina.

If you’d prefer an excursion, there’s also the option to join a Dalyan day trip via organised transfer. Dalyan is famous for its protected loggerhead sea turtles (Caretta caretta) and the striking Lycian rock tombs carved high into the cliffs, plus time to wander the village and enjoy the riverside atmosphere.

After Göcek, we cruise to the peaceful Bay of Boynuz for our overnight anchorage. Unwind on deck after your day of exploring, with sunset views all around as the crew prepares dinner for you—another perfect evening as you sail Turkey.

Yoga Sail

Samanlık Bay

We start the day with breakfast in Tersane Bay, a beautiful Göcek anchorage known for its ancient shipyard and visible archaeological remains along the shore. Take your time here for photos, a relaxed swim, and a peaceful morning surrounded by pine-covered hills.

For lunch, we cruise to Samanlık Bay. Enjoy a leisurely meal with friends and family, followed by a final swim in the clear blue water before we make our way back toward Fethiye.

Later, we can anchor in Fethiye Harbour for dinner and the evening, or, if you’d prefer a quieter finish, we can spend one last night in a calm nearby bay and return to Fethiye Harbour early the next morning for breakfast.

Yoga Sail

Fethiye

We’ll enjoy our final breakfast together in Fethiye Harbour, taking in the last views of the marina and the surrounding coastline. After a week onboard Cheers, you’ll step ashore feeling rested, refreshed, and full of memories from sailing one of the most scenic corners of south-west Turkey.

Yoga Sail

After breakfast on board, it’s time to say goodbye as your Fethiye blue cruise with Cheers Gulet comes to an end. Our crew will help you disembark smoothly and assist with your transfers. We’d love to welcome you back next year for another sail Turkey escape.

Thank you for choosing Cheers for your holiday. We work hard to make every trip feel personal, comfortable, and unforgettable—and we truly appreciate any feedback you’d like to share.
