Gulet cruise with lunch and optional transfers along the Turkish coast from Side

4.5/5
164 reviews

This relaxing yacht cruise gives you a fresh perspective on the coast around Side. The friendly, professional crew will make your trip a special occasion, with time to swim, guaranteed loungers and plenty to eat and drink. Mustafa, one of our local guides, says, ‘As soon as you set eyes on the Seher yachts, you can see that this is no ordinary boat trip. Seher is a family-owned company with five generations of experience. Its attention to detail adds a touch of finesse to your tour.'

As you approach the dock to meet your crew, you'll pass through a section of the ancient city of Side, which dates from the 7th century BC. Right on the shores of the Mediterranean, its location is one of the prettiest among Turkey's archaeological sites. Your guide will point out some of the key features. Settle in to watch the coastline unfurl as you sail out of Side harbour – with the breeze in your hair, sparkling sea and local drinks included, it's easy to unwind.

We'll then take the fun up a notch as the captain drops anchor from time to time, so you can swim in the enticing Med. Are you the thrillseeker who will cannonball straight in, or are you the sunseeker who prefers to lounge on deck? When it's time to refuel, we'll stop in sheltered waters and a tasty lunch of freshly prepared dishes will be served on board. After lunch, there'll be more relaxing, sunbathing and swimming to look forward to, before we head back to port in the late afternoon.

    Insgesamt ein tolles Erlebnis. Etwas negativ ist die lange Mittagspause am Flussdelta zu bewerten. Alles in Allem aber ein sehr empfehlenswerter Ausflug. Wir haben uns rundum wohl gefühlt.

    Booking was for adults over 12 at least 6 children under 5 years on boat. No vegetarians option for lunch despite mention at booking and discussing with tour guide. Tourguide treated us like we were an inconvenience. Not enough sun loungers. We got 3 in the sun and to be able to sit in the shade We had to sit with staff and passengers smoking cigars at the back. Total waste of one day of my vacation.
