Where does my boat depart from?
Boats are docked in the harbour at the discretion of the port authorities. For this reason, we will not be able to advise the exact location of your boat until the day of departure.
Your Onboard Representative will be waiting for you at the below meeting points to take you to your gulet (in Fethiye & Marmaris) or accompany you on the ferry (in Bodrum). They’ll be wearing a bright red Go Sail Turkey shirt.
- Fethiye departures: Marina Yat Limanı (and ferry terminal)
- Marmaris departures: Fener Historical landmark (beside Marmaris Harbour)
- Bodrum departures: Bodrum-Datça ferry port
My cruise starts in Bodrum. Do I have to take a ferry?
Yep! For all of our sails starting in Bodrum, the first part of your trip will be a 2-hour ferry from Bodrum to Datça. The cost of the ferry is included in your sail.
You’ll jump on board your gulet in Datça, where we spend our first night of the sail together.
Where’s the closest airport to my cruise?
Fethiye
Dalaman Airport is approximately 1 hour from Fethiye by shuttle bus or taxi.
Bodrum
Milas – Bodrum Airport is approximately 45 minutes from Bodrum by shuttle bus or taxi.
What's the size and weight of luggage I can bring on board?
There isn’t a specific luggage weight limit. However, we do recommend bringing as small a case or bag as you can, as it will take up less space and is easier to store in your cabin.
Can I leave my luggage on board before the cruise starts?
On some departures, we can store your luggage for a short period before check-in. Unfortunately, this is not possible for all departures as your boat may not arrive at port until check-in time. See below to find out if luggage storage is available on your cruise.

I’m a solo traveller. Do I have to share a cabin?
That’s up to you!
Solo travellers can choose to share a cabin with another passenger of the same gender OR pay a single supplement charge and have a whole cabin to yourself.
Both options depend on the cabin types and passengers already booked on the cruise. If you’re unsure which option is best for you, simply fill out our Solo Form here, and our team will help you find the perfect fit!
How much is the single supplement charge for solo travellers?
We don’t love doing math, so we’ve tried to keep this one simple.
The single supplement charge is an additional 50% of your cruise cost. So if your cruise cost is £519, the single supplement charge is £259.5
2026 departures
In 2026, the single supplement charge will be the value of 1 passenger.
So if your cruise cost is £519 per passenger, the single supplement charge is also £519. The total you will pay is £1,038.
To book, please contact our reservations team at info@gosailturkey.com
What is a triple cabin?
A triple cabin can sleep up to 3 people. Depending on the boat, these cabins will either have:
- 3 x single beds
- 1 x double bed and 1 x single bed
Triple cabins on board and are in high-demand so your best chance of securing one is to book early.
We don’t offer discounts for passengers who choose a triple cabin as our pricing is per person, not per bed.
What type of bathroom will I get?
All cabins on all of our boats are fitted with a private ensuite.
Do I have to share my bathroom with other passengers?
Solo travellers who have chosen a shared cabin will have to share a bathroom. You will only share the bathroom with other passengers in your cabin.
Is there Wi-Fi on board?
Yep… BUT connectivity is limited and may cut out as we cruise away from the mainland.
Are there power outlets on board?
Yep. There are outlets available in cabins and in the salon area (psst: don’t forget your adaptor!).
What happens if my bedding preference is unavailable?
When you book your cruise online, we ask you to submit your bedding preference. Our reservations team then checks your request and manually allocates you to a cabin.
Sometimes we’re unable to place you into a cabin with your preferred bedding because of availability. If this happens, we’ll place you into the next best thing and email you to chat about your options.
Top tip: book early to have the best chance of securing your preferred bedding preference
Are towels provided on board?
Nope. Don’t forget to pack your own bath towel and beach towel.
To book, please contact our reservations team at info@gosailturkey.com
Do I have to buy travel insurance?
We strongly recommend taking out travel insurance before you travel.
See more info on Travel Essentials here.
What should I pack for my trip to Turkey?
We’re SO glad you asked. Here’s a little something we prepared earlier on our blog: Ultimate Packing Guide?
What food is included on board?
Trust us. You won’t be left hungry.
Most days, we provide 3 meals on board (breakfast, lunch and dinner). However on some days only 2 meals will be provided. You can see which meals are included by checking out your itinerary.
What type of food will I eat on board?
Eating in Turkey isn’t just about the food, it’s about the experience – which is why all meals are served buffet style. To find out more, check out our blog post here.
Can I bring my own food and drink on board?
Yes and no… snacks such as peanuts, crisps and biscuits are allowed on board. However, unless you have special dietary requirements, all other food and drink consumed on board must be served from the boat. This includes water as unlimited drinking water is provided.
How does the bar tab system work?
There is a bar tab system on board, meaning you do not pay for each individual drink as you receive it. You will see the price list on board, and you can order from it with the waiter/bartender.
The orders are added to your tab, which you can check for a running total at any time. The final tab is then paid at the end of your sail.
How do I pay for my bar tab?
All payments are made in cash on the final day of your cruise. Our boats do not have card facilities, so all payments must be made in cash, in the local currency (Lira ₺).
Any food options for people with special dietary requirements?
Our onboard chefs can cater for most dietary requirements (vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, lactose intolerance, allergies etc).
Tell us about your special dietary requirements when you book and we’ll be in touch if we need more information.
What's the difference between 18-39s and Mixed-age (10-69) cruises?
Well… it’s all in the name. 18-39s cruises are for those aged between 18 to 39 and Mixed-age (10-69) cruises are for those aged between 10 to 69. You get the gist, right?
Same boats, same route – but different people and a different vibe.
How many people will be on my boat?
Between 14 and 18 passengers.
What are the ages and nationalities of people on board?
Our passengers come from all over the globe, which means you could be saying cheers with anyone from Australia to Brazil.
The ages of those on board depend on which themed departure you choose. Our themes are:
- 18-39s
- Over 40s
- Mixed-age (10-69)
We strongly recommend travelling on a departure within your theme’s age range to ensure everyone on board has a great time!
What happens if I lose an item while on board?
If our crew finds any items that have been left on board after your cruise is finished, we’ll hold onto them for a period of 7 days. After this, any unclaimed items will be donated or disposed of appropriately.
If our crew can’t locate your lost property then we recommend getting in touch with your insurance provider to see if you are eligible to make a claim. When requested, our team can provide you with a letter for your provider to confirm that we were unable to locate the item.
How do I find my lost property?
Let us know by submitting a Lost, Damaged or Stolen Property form. If we find your item, a member of our Operations team will be in touch to help you arrange shipping.
Tip: Make sure to provide as much information as possible so we have the best chance of finding your item.
How much does it cost to retrieve lost property?
It all depends on what you’ve lost, where it needs to be shipped to and what rates are offered by local suppliers. Our Operations team will discuss the best options available with you.
What do I do if my property is stolen during the cruise?
You must notify your Onboard Rep and report stolen property to the police. If you need a letter of support for your insurance provider, then let us know by submitting a Lost, Damaged or Stolen Property form.
What happens if my property is damaged while on board?
This depends on how your property was damaged.
If your property was damaged:
(1) as a result of your actions
Let your Onboard Rep know and submit a Lost, Damaged or Stolen Property form.
If you have travel insurance* and are eligible to make a claim with your provider, then we may be able to offer a Letter of Support to accompany your claim.
