Embark on the first day of your Sail Turkey 18–39 Young Adults journey and begin your unforgettable Sailing Turkey Adventure aboard a traditional Turkish wooden gulet with Farout Cruises, starting your Blue Cruise experience along the Mediterranean coast.
Check-in usually starts between 9 am and 10 am, and we will provide the exact meeting time before departure. After check-in and a short briefing, you will set sail from Fethiye Harbour and cruise towards the famous Blue Lagoon. The Blue Lagoon (Oludeniz Beach) is Turkey’s most iconic beach, known for its calm turquoise waters and stunning mountain backdrop. It is the perfect place for swimming, snorkelling, or paragliding from Babadag Mountain, offering an exciting start to your Turkey Gulet Cruise.
Optional Activity: Paragliding Blue Lagoon
Fly tandem with a professional pilot from Babadag Mountain (over 2,000 metres high) down to the Blue Lagoon while enjoying spectacular views of Oludeniz and the surrounding coastline. With nearly 20,000 jumps each year, this is considered one of the top paragliding locations in the world.
Paragliding needs to be booked pre-cruise to secure your spot and take advantage of special discounted rates.
In the evening, you will anchor at St Nicholas Island, one of the most memorable stops of the Blue Cruise Turkey route. As the sun sets behind the mountains, casting golden light across the sea, you can hike among ancient chapels, ruins, and stone houses hidden beneath pine trees. At the island’s peak, an ancient ceremonial corridor leads to the remains of a Byzantine amphitheatre, offering breathtaking views over the surrounding islands and coastline. With its rich history and peaceful atmosphere, St Nicholas Island is a magical place where the past and present meet.
