Alaturka Blue Cruise & Yacht Charters

Pretty average to be honest. Crew didnt really have any idea of what was going on. Eg. Not knowing prices for paragliding and the prices for the photos, we booked scuba diving beforehand and when it came time to do it, it was cancelled because they didnt even book it for us. Had to sleep on the deck becuase the rooms were too hot, not a big deal but they ha a.c in the rooms but went even allowed to turn them on. At the blue lagoon, the put anchor down extremely far away from it, so we had to swin ~25mins to get there as their dingy had a hole in it. Advertised alot on the cruise that we didnt actually do. Choose another company.

Didn't get to go to many of the places they offered, mostly due to the sea being a bit rough so it wasn't totally the crews fault. They offered scuba diving to us in an email and we booked it through them, only to find on the boat the crew knew very little about the company that would provide it. They weren't able to tell us what time we would be picked up until the last minute when they said that we actually couldn't because the timing was wrong and we had to leave before we could get back. At blue lagoon we parked the boat far away (The reasoning being that they charge the boats to park at the lagoon) however it was the farthest boat parked in the free section (it was empty when we arrived) so we had to swim about 25 minutes just to see the lagoon, because their dingy boat was also broken. They didn't know the pricing of the paragliding photos / explain that part of it, and we got little information about the sites we were seeing. The food was really good as well as the group of people on the boat, so those were the positives. Usually I have a lot of empathy because some of these things they really couldn't help but there was too many inconveniences, I would choose a different company or read more reviews next time I look to book one.

They offer incredible cruise packages. The 3 day trip I went on was everything i needed: relaxing & sunbathing, exploring old and historic towns, swimming in crystal clear water and sleeping out under the stars. The crew was so accommodating and the sights were spectacular. I would do one of these every year if I could. I have memories from this trip that’ll stay with me for a while!! So worth it!!

Amazing week on the Alaturka boat! The crew were all so friendly and accommodating, loved the spots we visited and opportunities to check out the culture. So much fun and left feeling super relaxed! Would definitely recommend.

I travelled with Alaturka on one of their Fethiye to Olympos blue cruises earlier this year. The sights, people and incredible food made for an incredible experience on this tour. I absolutely loved travelling on Alaturka 2, who had a funny and professional crew and went out of their way to make this one of the best holidays I have ever had! Thank you! I cant wait to join another blue cruise next summer!

We had a few problems with our trip and felt a bit ripped off at the end of it. The trip was advertised as something that was not the reality . We did the 7 day, 6 night cruise from Fethiye to Kekova and back to Fethiye..which meant we visited the same destinations on the last 3 days as the the first 3 days just in reverse! (Which was not as described in the itinerary). The people on our boat who did the 4 day, 3 night boat tour had to get off really early on the 4th day so they only really got 2 and half days as we boarded the boat at 12pm day one. None of the crew spoke any English which made it difficult at times to communicate. The docking spots were quite loud, about 15 other boats docked near us nightly so it was hard to sleep. Our boat itself had no swimming snorkels and our speed boat was broken so we had to wait on some other boats to get us to shore. The drinks were really overpriced so we ended up buying our own and taking them on board The food was great and the sights were beautiful but we felt there were too many downfalls to overlook. I would research other sail companies before booking with alaturka.

The Fethiye to Kekova Blue Cruise with Alaturka was THE BEST week ever! I’ve never seen so many beautiful places before! My favorite place was the sunken city, the water was so clear that you can see the ruins from the boat! I sailed with a fantastic group of people from all over the world and the local crew were so friendly and professional, they know everything about the region and I felt totally relaxed with them from start to finish! The food was awesome, fresh fish and yummy Turkish dishes. The cabin was great too, clean and comfortable. On the cruise we stopped at some interesting ancient ruins, beautiful bays and small towns. Every day I had free time for swimming and sunbathing and to explore the sights, I never felt rushed at all. The Alaturka office staff were also very helpful, I arrived in Fethiye a day earlier than planned and they were happy find accommodation for me at Fethiye Guesthouse which is in a great location by the old town. They even took me to meet the boat in the next day. I would definitely book with Alaturka again!

Familiar and professional cruises. We visited many incredible places next to Fethiye. We overnight at awesome sea places with every-day charming sunset. Food prepared by cook was spectacular, you will get weight on you, be ready for that… ? Cabins are not huge, but it’s normal for a boat and we spent all our time swimming at transparent water, enjoying deck sun bath or hikking at any trail we found from the shore. You should definitely do it with family or friends group. It is 100% worthy.
