The experience

The boat leaves early morning and works through a rotating route of 12 islands scattered across Fethiye Bay, each one chosen for its bays and beaches. You swim at several stops, drift between the islands at your own pace, and the captain and crew handle navigation and timing. The day is built around doing nothing in particular (anchoring in clear water, swimming where you want, sitting on deck) rather than rushing between named sights.

Lunch is served on board. The boat carries an English-speaking captain and crew who know the bay's conditions and which islands and bays are worth the stop on any given day. Seven hours total means you leave early and return mid-afternoon, with the bulk of the day spent on the water or in the water rather than traveling to and from a dock.

What’s included

• English-speaking captain and crew.
• lunch served on board.
• swimming stops at multiple bays and beaches across the 12-island route.
