Great way to spend the day!

This was a great tour with a very nice, diverse group of people. The Captain was great and the food was outstanding. The scenery was stunning and it was a very nice way to spend the day. My only issue was with the vehicle that transported us. You could literally hear the brakes grinding which was of immense concern given the road conditions in Turkey. This should be addressed immediately.

Perfect day trip to see local sights and swimming spots

Everything was perfect for the boat trip - we had an air-conditioned transfer to the small harbour, saw turtles swimming in the harbour, the boat was fantastic with lots of comfortable/shaded space for the group to spread out. The different locations were stunning with time to swim or explore. At each spot, the guide was clear with the time we had and instructions for the group (- in various languages!). A great day out - I would highly recommend.

Best Day Ever!

We had an unforgettable day with Sailnstay. Traveling as two moms with our teenage daughters, this was truly one of the absolute highlights of our holiday. From the start, everything was smooth and easy. The pick-up in Kaş and the 40-minute ride to Demre were well organized and hassle-free, which made the day feel relaxed right away. What made the experience especially enjoyable was the smaller group size, which created a warm and personal atmosphere. A special thank you to Captain Süleyman, Selim, and Şerif for making the day so much fun. They were incredibly friendly and welcoming, and they went out of their way to interact with our daughters, making them laugh and feel included throughout the trip. The food was another highlight, especially the grilled fish on board, which was absolutely delicious. Between the meals and the swimming stops, we were able to enjoy some truly breathtaking spots with crystal-clear water and stunning scenery. Thank you for such a fantastic day and for creating memories we’ll always cherish. We highly recommend Sailnstay to anyone visiting Kaş—we would definitely do it again!

Perfect day on a boat

Everything is on the highest level. Very friendly driver, and people on the boat. The tour started with a nice air-conditioned transfer. The boat is medium sized, clean and very comfortable. Food was grilled fresh on the boat. Very calm and peaceful experience. Totally worth the value.

The Perfect Sunday ❤️

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ We did this trip as a couple and honestly had such a great day. The boat ride around Kekova was beautiful, lunch was really good, and the walk up to the castle had amazing views. We also loved visiting Demre and Myra — it was a perfect mix of relaxing, sightseeing, and history. Everything was well organized and the small group made it feel much more personal. Would definitely recommend if you’re staying in Kaş!

The trip was OK

For a boat trip, a lot of bus driving was involved. We got the opportunity to see the sites mentioned in the programme (except Kas), but they were not pointed out to us. Even less did we get an explanation or historical background. Lunch was OK, but no water was provider during the whole day. Swimming opportunities were plenty (more than two hours all in all).
