We visited interesting places and swam in crystal turquoise waters.
The meals we had were all delicious, actually the best meals in a month of touring Türkiye.
Cabins were actually better than expected with an ensuite however I slept on the deck each night. Cabins would have been too stifling to sleep in as temps were in high 30’s.
The delivery of onboarding information was spoken so quickly in broken English most of the guests didn’t understand what the instructions were.
The cook was lovely and friendly, not so much the captain.
It would have been great if more information was given about the places we stopped at other than just giving the name. Consequently many of us got off to go and see things without knowing there were entrance fees.
The office staff were really helpful and delivered information/answered queries in a timely manner.
Note: this is not a sailing cruise.

My wife and daughter and I spent the month of May in Turkiye and our 3-day cruise from Demre to Fethiye on a gulete with Farout Cruises was the highlight of our trip!
There were 11 guests (including the three of us) and three crew onboard the Bluefest, which is a lovely ship built for maximum relaxation and fun. Lots of deck space for everything from solitary sunbathing to impromptu dance parties (more on that later).
The itinerary included Kekova, where we ascended to an ancient Lycian fortress, homemade ice cream in hand (note: though there are many ice cream vendors along the path advertising ‘homemade’, check out the I Am Here Café for the mind-blowing real thing!) We also stopped at St. Nicholas’ Island, where the 3rd century namesake of our modern-day Santa Claus was buried, and which offers spectacular views atop hills laden with endless stone ruins.
It always takes a few days to unwind when travelling in a new country; nothing helps more than having three wonderful meals served to you daily. The Turkish breakfasts were especially wholesome and lavish and set us up nicely for the adventures of the day.
Any time the Bluefest was not underway, we were able to swim in the supernaturally blue waters of the Mediterranean. The water was warm even in early May and once in it was hard to motivate yourself to get out (the bell signalling the meals worked well, though).
Finally, the Bluefest crew took hospitality to the next level while taking care of us. Captain Yousef and his two mates took care of everything, including the tunes for the dance party on the upper foredeck (tip: make sure to include Hey! Douglas in your Turkiye dance playlist!)
The only thing better than this cruise would be a longer cruise, a full week or so, which we plan to do on our next trip to Turkiye!

Wow I can’t recommend Far out enough! I loved my time and would want to do it again. The med is the most beautiful water and some of the swimming spots we stopped in where the best places I have ever been to! I joined the Esmeralda as a solo traveller and quickly made friends with the group in which there was only 8 of us (mostly Australians!). 4 passengers had already been on the cruise for 3 days so they knew the ins and outs of the boat.
The crew were always on and available to help, but I also really enjoyed when they took some time off to enjoy themselves with the guests and play games. I have a gluten allergy and the team were very committed to making sure I didn’t miss out on anything! Adil the chef cooked some incredible meals, a mixture of fish, chicken and beef with delicious local salads and side dishes. Lunches were always vegetarian. I did not expect to love the Turkish food as much as I did! Hussein was the deck hand and he was so sweet and helpful. Our captain was hilarious and did a great job communicating with us with his limited English, I loved getting him involved in the card games. I think the crew enjoyed their time with us too!
If you are expecting to party every night, this is not like sail Croatia. Most evenings are spent on the boat moored in a secluded bay. Some evenings a few more drinks were had and the music a little louder, but at night we mostly played fun card games with the group! This was the under 39’s cruise, I recommend bringing a deck of cards or some other games. The drink prices vary, 2 euro for soft drinks, 6 euro for local spirits, beer and wine a bit cheaper. Cold water bottles are available whenever you want.
I slept for a night in the cabin and two under the stars and would recommend sleeping under the stars for a better night sleep. It was very hot during the day and often hot into the night. Because there were only 8 of us, I had my own cabin but if the boat was full you may be sharing a small cabin with another solo traveller which might be quite intimate.
Overall I truly had the best time and would recommend it to anyone! The crew really made our trip what it was and they prioritised our enjoyment and happiness at all times. The other companies boats did not look as good or as fun as ours. We had the best of the bunch!

This company was so accommodating! They switched me to another ship leaving the same day instantly at my request which already impressed me. I did the 4 day Fethiye to Olympos. The captain and the crew were so attentive and friendly, the food was excellent, and the cruise sites were gorgeous. Cabin is small but there’s a small private bathroom for each room which was impressive. Being able to jump off the ship into the clear, blue Mediterranean is an experience I’ll never forget! Only thing is I don’t know if the AC was completely worth it because it shuts off usually halfway through the night (I think after the generator burns through the solar power gathered through the day?) and the cabin gets too hot and stuffy. I ended up sleeping on the deck each night though and for the most part the weather was perfect to do so comfortably.

This was the most amazing 4 days of my life, far out cruises go above and beyond to make sure you have the most relaxing enjoyable time in Turkey. The crew were hilarious and cooked up the freshest most delicious turkish meals and don’t even get me started on the swim spots they take you to! 😍

This was the 4 day, 3 night gulet cruise from Fethiye to Olympos. The booking process was smooth - we booked directly with Farout which I would recommend. They also have a Whatsapp which is really helpful and answer quickly and are extremely helpful. So extra points for good communication.
We flew in from Istanbul to join the cruise at a start time of 10am. Getting to Fetithye from Dalaman airport Farout helped with a transfer - it was hard to find out reliable and efficient options.
The cruise itself was really well run, the crew were great and the food plentiful and delicious. The cabins, as you would expect are small, but with a hot shower and reasonable space.
At night, most passengers slept on the deck as the cabins get pretty hot and stuffy. We were lucky to have a full moon, that combined with clear skies was magical.
There was plenty of time for swimming, there is also a SUP and kayak. All of the swimming spots had the most beautiful water to swim in.
There were a couple of negatives: it would have been nice to get a daily briefing about the schedule and approximate times, and additional recommendations about transfers after the cruise would be great. For example, we were offered a private transfer from Demre to Antalya for €250, but we organised a/c transfer for 5 for €110.
But overall it was a great experience and I would highly recommend it. Staying in Antalya for a couple of days after is also recommended.

We experienced 7 days on a Farour Gulet Cruise along the southern Turkiye coast (the Endless Summer I). The crew (especially the chef) was incredible, breakfast, lunch, tea, and dinner were all served and consisted of a delightful assportment of dishes made up of fresh vegetables and grilled meats (dinners only). We met a lot of really wonderful people on the cruise and made some great friends. The facilities were excellent, each cabin has an ensuite toilet & shower, and ample storage space. The many stops allowed us to take additional tours or wander around coastal towns for shopping or sightseeing, and there were nonstop opportunities for swimming and snorkeling in crystal clear water. Overall, an incredible experience and the best way to experience the southern Turkish coast!

Absolute recommendation! We did a 4 day trip in fall 2022, and absolutely loved it.
The crew is incredibly passionate, caring and fun, and keeps each guest's individual needs in mind. They have a very individual and personal approach, and it's obvious: they love what they do and want to make sure that everyone has a great time on board!
When it comes to food I've tasted some of the most delicious meals in my life on deck! Being vegetarian, I was a bit concerned beforehand; but the crew made sure that there was plenty of delicious meals for everyone! And you should definitely ask for the "special drinks" - where the crew mixes cocktails according to your personal taste!
The boat was clean, had great features and lots of fun activities were planned along the way. Excursions/route provided us with super nice snorkeling spots, daytrips to cute towns that you can only reach by boat and fantastic sunsets and crystal clear blue water.
I can only recommend this company - thanks for a fantastic few days, for all the effort you made to make us feel welcomed and we'll definitely book another tour again when coming back to Turkey!

We had a fabulous time! From the moment we set foot on the yacht we felt at home. The room is spacious and very comfortable
All meals were of the highest quality.
There was plenty of time to swim in the waters of the turquoise coast
Can highly recommend them!

Our Olympos to Fethiye 4 Days 3 Nights cruise was an incredible opportunity to experience this beautiful coast. From our boat we saw and enjoyed archaeological ruins, lovely beaches, crystal blue bays, the cute town of Kaz, and gorgeous sunrises and sunsets. There were only about a dozen or so passengers and a small crew on our boat and everyone was wonderful. Can't recommend this experience more!
