I sailed on Bluefest, with the most AMAZING crew! The food was absolutely incredible, Orkun was an amazing tour guide/genuine friend on the boat. I can not recommend this more highly!

Unforgettable experience with the "Esmeralda Gulet" and its crew. Fantastic Captain, Gulet, Crew, Coastline...

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!

I had an amazing 4-day journey on the board from Olympos to Fethiye. It was amazingly beautiful. The crew was informative and friendly.. provided everything we needed. The Turkish Riviera is just perfect with its crystal-clear water. Doing Sail Turkey is at the top of my wish list.

Last summer we had the best boat trip on gulet with Farout. Crew was funny and always available, the boat was big and very comfortable and the places you visit on the southern coast of Turkey are really wonderful. They also accommodated my need to have gluten free options.
Lastly the price was more than fair for a 4 days all inclusive trip
Couldn’t recommend more.

It was one of my best experience. The whole team was so awesome, the tour was well organized and my friends & I, we had the best time ever in Turkey. We met so many cool people from different countries and the food on the boot was soooo delicious. Thanks to the whole Farout Cruises team! <3 YOU ARE SO GREAT!

This company is just perfect, i am looking forward to my next cruise with them!

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!
