Life aboard an Alaturca gulet is the essence of laid-back luxury. You’ll soak up the best of Turkish hospitality—warm service, jaw-dropping scenery, and meals that are nothing short of incredible. Each cruise blends relaxation with adventure: snorkel in clear waters, swim at sunrise, cast a fishing line, or unwind with our signature nightlife under the stars.
While our spotless, comfy cabins are always ready, many guests choose to sleep on deck, lulled by the waves and starlit sky.
Make your next getaway unforgettable—come aboard with Alaturca and experience the best of gulet cruising.
Paragliding in the Fethiye–Oludeniz region is world-renowned—and for good reason. Launching from nearly 2,000 meters above sea level, you’ll soar over one of the most stunning coastlines on earth, with flight times ranging from 30 to 45 minutes. It’s a once-in-a-lifetime experience you’ll be talking about long after your feet touch the ground. If you’re cruising with us, you’ll have time to fit this in—but you must book in advance. Paragliding is incredibly popular and sells out fast, especially during peak season. Don’t miss your chance to fly.
Kas is one of the top diving spots in the Fethiye region, known for its crystal-clear waters, vibrant marine life, and fascinating underwater ruins. From coral reefs to sunken relics, there’s plenty to explore beneath the surface. Whether you're certified or brand new to diving, there are options for all levels—including beginner-friendly buddy dives. You can book in advance or, depending on availability, arrange it once you're onboard. Important: Diving is only available in Kas on the standard Fethiye–Olympos route. If you're interested, let your captain know at the start of your cruise to secure your spot.
Food on Board with Alaturca - At Alaturca, food isn’t just fuel—it’s a highlight of the journey. Our onboard chefs prepare every meal with fresh, seasonal ingredients, crafting authentic Turkish dishes that guests consistently rate as one of the best parts of their cruise experience. What's on the Menu? Breakfast Start your day with a classic Turkish breakfast. Eggs, olives, cheeses, fresh fruit, breads, and more—there’s something for every taste. Lunch Expect a hearty, home-cooked Turkish lunch: rice or pasta, vegetable-based dishes, crisp salads, and plenty of freshly baked bread. Dinner Evenings mean BBQ under the stars. Enjoy grilled chicken, fish, or Turkish köfte alongside rice, vegetables, and a spread of fresh salads. It’s a feast, every night. Vegetarian options are always available. Snacks & Fruit Afternoons feature tea or coffee with cookies and biscuits. We also serve seasonal fresh fruit throughout the day and evening. Special Notes Vegetarians & Dietary Needs: We offer plenty of vegetarian options—no need to notify us in advance, just let the crew know at check-in. Celebrating a Birthday? Let us know when booking and we’ll help make it special. Meals on Cabin Cruises: Included in your fare (except for breakfast on day one and dinner on the final night). Meals on Private Charters: Optional. Add meals to your booking or bring your own food. If you go DIY, our chef will assist with shopping and cook your meals—crew service and full kitchen access are included either way.
One of the unforgettable moments on an Alaturca Blue Cruise is falling asleep on deck beneath a sky full of stars. With the gentle rhythm of the sea and the cool night breeze, it’s a peaceful, one-of-a-kind experience. And the best part? Waking up with the sun as it rises over the Mediterranean. Whether you’re anchored in a quiet bay or already cruising along the coast, it’s the perfect start to your day. Even if you sleep in your cabin, make time to catch at least one sunrise—you won’t regret it.
One of the true highlights of the Fethiye to Olympos route is the chance to explore the ancient ruins scattered along Turkey’s stunning Lycian coastline. This region is steeped in history, and your Blue Cruise gives you front-row access to its most iconic sites. Wander through the crumbling remains of St. Nicholas Island, climb to Simena Castle for panoramic views, and uncover hidden ruins around Kas. Each stop lets you step back in time and connect with the legends and civilizations that once thrived along these shores.
If you're looking for a bit more action beyond sunbathing and swimming, water sports are available at select stops along your Blue Cruise—especially near St. Nicholas Island and the Kekova region. As your gulet anchors for the evening, local water sports teams often approach by boat, offering adrenaline-packed options like the banana boat, ringo/doughnuts, and sometimes water skiing or wakeboarding. These activities come at an extra cost, but prices are negotiable—don’t hesitate to bargain. Pick your thrill, suit up, and enjoy every second.
A fun way to pass the time on your cruise is by diving into some classic games. Every Alaturca boat comes stocked with a deck of cards and a backgammon set—Turkey’s unofficial national game. It’s a perfect way to unwind, connect with fellow travelers, or pick up a new skill. There’s almost always someone on board who knows a great card game or drinking game to get the good vibes going. And if you’ve never played backgammon before, this is your chance to learn—locals take it seriously, but it’s all about fun here.
Blue Cruises are often the highlight of any trip to Turkey—and for good reason. Beyond the turquoise waters and ancient ruins, there's something truly special about nights onboard. Many guests choose to skip the cabin and sleep out on deck, stretched out on a sunbed under a sky full of stars. As the day winds down, grab your bedding, find your spot, and drift off under the open sky. It's quiet, peaceful, and unforgettable.
Gozleme—a beloved Turkish pancake—is a must-try for anyone visiting Turkey. Whether sweet or savory, it’s simple, fresh, and incredibly satisfying. Some of the best you’ll taste come not from a restaurant, but from a tiny rowboat. Near St. Nicholas Island, local women paddle between gulets, making gozleme to order right on the spot. Watch as your pancake is rolled, stuffed, and grilled just for you—whether you go for chocolate and banana or cheese, potato, onion, and parsley. Hungry or not, do yourself a favor and grab one. It’s one of those authentic, unexpected moments you’ll remember long after the cruise ends.
There’s nothing like cold, creamy ice cream on a hot summer day—especially when you're cruising the Turkish coast. While anchored in a quiet bay, keep an eye out for the ice cream boat. These local vendors pull up right alongside your gulet, menu in hand, offering mouth-watering homemade ice cream in a variety of flavors—even served inside a chilled half honey melon. Just like the gozleme boats, you don’t need to search for them—they’ll find you. Treat yourself. You’re on holiday.
Snorkeling is a guest favorite on every Alaturca Blue Cruise—and with good reason. At each swim stop, you’ll have the chance to dive into crystal-clear waters and explore what lies beneath the surface. Grab a mask, share the gear, and see what you can spot. Many of the bays along the route are known for friendly sea turtles who often stick around long enough for a close look—so keep your eyes peeled. Every swim is a new adventure.
Whether you're an experienced angler or just want to try your luck, fishing on board is always a fun option. Ask the crew to set you up with one of the lines we keep onboard—they’ll let you know the best time and spots to cast off. No promises on what you’ll catch, but there’s no harm tossing a line out as you cruise. And if you do land something decent, our chef will be happy to cook it up for dinner—just make sure it’s big enough to share!
Butterfly Valley is one of the must-see stops along Turkey’s Turquoise Coast—a lush, narrow canyon that opens onto a stunning beach. Once your gulet anchors, you can swim ashore or hop in the dinghy for a quick ride in. Your crew will help bring over your shoes, camera, and anything else you need. After paying a small entrance fee, you’re free to wander into the heart of the valley. Keep an eye out for butterflies along the way—especially in spring and early summer when the valley lives up to its name. It’s a peaceful, scenic walk worth taking.
Every day on an Alaturca cruise feels perfect—and there’s no better way to end one than by watching the sun dip below the horizon. Whether you’re lounging on deck or climbing ashore for a better view, sunsets along the Turkish coast are truly special. Grab a cold drink, have your camera ready, and soak it all in. Golden skies, calm seas, and a peaceful close to another unforgettable day on the Mediterranean.
Most evenings—weather permitting—our chefs fire up the BBQ for a delicious dinner under the stars. It’s the perfect way to end the day: fresh grilled meats, amazing aromas, and good conversation with your fellow travelers and crew. The BBQ is usually set up at the front of the boat, a prime spot to relax with a sundowner, enjoy the view, and soak up the evening vibe as the sun sets and dinner sizzles.
