Spend a day cruising the Lycian coast from Fethiye, stopping at seven to eight bays and two islands for swimming, snorkeling and a relaxed lunch on deck. This family-run day boat offers accessible, all-day outings with multiple swims and scenic anchorages.
More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
The morning light in Fethiye strips the harbor to bright angles as the boat slides away from the quay, the Mediterranean tugging at the bow like a curious hand. Within an hour you’ll be cutting through a chain of bays—hidden coves open into turquoise bowls, while two small islands hover like private invitations. The crew drops anchor at sheltered beaches and the water dares you to dive in; snorkeling gear is handed out, and the sea reveals its slow, sunlit world.
