Cabin Charter Gulet Cruise

Has anyone here done a cabin charter on a gulet on the Olympos to Fethiye route, or vice verse? I’ve found Far Out Cruises, who has pretty good, but limited reviews. I’ve done a little more digging and believe they rebranded to that name from Alaturka Cruises, who has many more reviews to their name, mostly good. If anyone has done this, I would love to hear your experience. Also, I’d you have any company recommendations, I would love those as well. The options seem fairly limited for shorter stay cabin charters, based off what I can find on google. We are looking at a 4d 3n option. Private charter options seem to abound, but there is only two of us and those are out of our price range as they seem to price well into the thousands.

What I think I’m starting to figure out, and correct me if I’m wrong, is that they may charter with different boats for any given date, depending on how many people make a booking. I plan to email Far Out, to ask if they own the boats or charter them.

Thank you!

Friends did a similar cruise with Peter Sommer Travels www.petersommer.com, a British company, and had a great experience. This company is very highly rated. We did a similar trip years ago with a British company that no longer is in business, one of our favorite trips.

Suki, glad to hear you had a great experience when you went. Unfortunately the Peter Sommer tours run too long for us. We need a shorter trip since we have limited time in Turkey.

Anyone know if there are any companies offering gulet cruises during April (for example, April 2024)?
TIA.

I have never done a private charter on a gulet, but I did a 4 night gulet cruise from Gocek to Fethiye as part of a Smithsonian/Odysseys Unlimited tour a few years ago. Loved every minute of it.
