Accommodation
During your trip, you will be staying on the Fortuna 2 Luxury Turkish Gulet boat. It has an impressive 360 square meters of sail surface, and friendly crew members, who sail with skill and passion.
The ship always offers the possibility to charge your phone or laptop and of course, there is WiFi available. But please be mindful, if you stream an entire movie, others might not be able to upload their Instagram photos!
Keep your phone for the photos of the stunning coast from the yacht and starry skies from land (the team will find places where you can set up a tripod on terra firma for the best sky at night panoramas).
Sunrise will wake you refreshed and energized each morning.
The gulet boat has the following areas for guests:
- 8 glorious double and kingsize rooms, all en-suite facilities
- A sundeck for yoga and sunbathing, enough room for all
- A large comfortable dining area
Program
This is a fantastic opportunity for you to indulge yourself completely in an exciting, out-of-the-ordinary sailing holiday in and around the Turkish seas.
Join the Ebru Evrim team for the trip of a lifetime! Ebru has used her Turkish contacts to design the ultimate sailing retreat on the Turkish Gulet, the iconic coastal sailing boat. You will get to sail between special locations with amazing views, swim in the clear blue seas, and participate in as many yoga, pilates, and meditation sessions as you like. This will be a wellness holiday with a laid-back program where everything is voluntary, so there will be plenty of time to top up your vitamin D levels on the sundeck or on the beaches and delightful coves.
Typical day
In the morning, it is windless. The sea looks like an intense blue billiard sheet, without any wrinkles. The copper sun that comes up is the billiard ball. Enjoy swimming, a yoga class, or your first cup of tea or coffee with some fruit. You'll have plenty of options. After a healthy brunch, the captain starts the engine. Still, no breath, no wrinkle, like a knife the ship cuts through the billiard table.
The ship leaves the safe bay and then suddenly something changes, the sheet starts to move. Wind... Neptune has turned on the wind. 360 square meters of sail propels the gulet, the engine is no longer needed and the silence falls over the ship. Looking for a new location to do yoga, swim, snorkel, and relax. The crew knows the area inside out. In the morning the captain brings out the impressive sailing chart with the possible course.
You do not need sailing or yoga experience to join this trip of a lifetime. The professional crew takes you to new locations every day. Cozy villages, bays with spectacular cliffs, or just hidden spots. Wherever the ship is mooring, there is always a possibility to go ashore.
If the ship is anchored, a crew member will take you to the shore with the dinghy. Do not forget your camera, there will be plenty to photograph. Here you'll find the perfect conditions for a pleasant sailing holiday. Always a steady breeze, but no high waves. And the nice thing about this sailing area is that the distances aren't too far. It is full of beautiful bays, villages, and picturesque harbors, all with their own unique yoga location.
A lot of variety in very comfortable circumstances, which defines this yoga cruise.
No yoga or pilates experience is required for this trip. As part of a small group, you will be guided and given modifications, whatever your experience.
At the end of the week, you will see that you are more flexible and that following up on the exercises is faster and easier. In the morning, the yoga classes are more sporty with powerful exercises. The afternoon classes are slower. You stay a little longer in the postures, up to 4 minutes, this way your muscles and the connective tissue will be stretched. You decide whether you participate in the lessons. There is no obligation. After all, it is your vacation!

Things to do (optional)
Everything is flexible. Walking, driving a scooter, visiting local markets, hiking, a day of shopping, scuba diving, horseback riding, visiting an olive farm, you name it. Anything can be organized.
Yoga, of course. There's no fixed route, the wind determines the next yoga spot. The captain will detect something, as he knows where the spots are with just a bit more shade, with exactly that refreshing breeze. The lessons will be held twice a day at two different locations.
Ebru speaks English and Turkish is her mother tongue, and anyway, the crew speaks fluent English and can converse in other languages.
Besides the yoga classes, there is of course enough time to sunbathe on your own sunbed. Relax, read a good book, swim, snorkel, canoe or grab one of the SUP boards and take a trip across bays lined with pine forest. Or post a jealous-making photo, there is a stable WiFi connection on the ship.
Then you'll continue the journey. The sails are set, the ship sets course for a new location - Palmtreebay, Aquariumbay, Cleopatrabay - beauty and history have defined the name of the enchanting spots. One bay offers shelter from the wind, while the other offers refreshment. The professional crew knows what is needed.
The last day begins. The ship will moor in its homeport again. This is also where the Oribe van Datca has its total wellness salon, so you can step back onto the plane with manicured hands, pedicured feet, and a new hairstyle if you like, to arrive back home looking great and feeling wonderful!
