Don't book with Sailnstay

I was very unhappy with the Sailnstay gulet cruise I took from Olympos to Fetiye from 14-17 October 2025. I traveled in Turkiye for several weeks. During that time I stayed in 7 hotels in 6 cities, took 3 domestic flights, and in Goreme I took a hot air balloon ride and a green tour. All were good quality and handled professionally. In contrast, the gulet cruise was disorganized and low quality, particularly the customer service before and after the cruise. At the last minute they refused to pick me for the cruise and only relented after an argument.

The ship was not in good condition. My cabin did not look like it had been cleaned (and was never cleaned during the trip, apart from emptying the toilet waste). The toilet lid was falling off and the curtains were falling off. During the trip there was an infestation of flies in my cabin. I was still finding dead flies in my bags after the cruise. There were plenty of beach towels on board so I wasted money buying a towel. There were only 4 people on the cruise, including me. The other 3 people had already traveled from Fethiye together. So I had needlessly paid the single supplement. I received very little introduction to the ship and procedures, since I was the only new passenger. I had to push the crew to provide sightseeing explanations. There were no activities apart from meals and the occasional stop. I was bored.

Sailnstay agreed that I was due refunds and then never paid them. First they gave excuses, then said it was my credit card company’s problem to refund me after I reported the dispute. I spent months getting back the $1,056 ($176 deposit + $520 cruise + $360 single supplement) from my credit card company. Thankfully I had refused to pay the balance (after the deposit) in cash, or I would have had no recourse to get my money back.

The crew (Ali, Mami, Mert, and the woman who cooked and did laundry) did their best, and Mami rescued me when it was clear I was having swimming problems.

I would not recommend Sailnstay to anyone. There are better cruise companies.

Professionalism and hospitality with a touch of vitamin sea

What a relief to know that there are peope who are real professionals and try their utmost to make you feel on holiday. We booked the Vitamin Sea for a family of three for three days in a row and we had the entire boat for ourselves. On the first day we were met by two people from the tour company and they received us friendly and told us about the rules. We were accompanied by two captains who were very friendly and very professional. They did everything according to our wishes. We are private people and these two captains mr Yaşar and mr Arif were out of sight but present whenever required. They never crossed boundaries by trying to be amiable which is very often the case unfortunately. They were very respectful and did everything to make us feel comfortable. And then there is the food: in abundance, diverse and delicious. On those three days we never had the same food nor the fruit. It was planned well and prepared with love. Next time we’re definitely booking the Vitamin Sea. We highly recommend!

We had a great time with our guide…

We had a great time with our guide Yasar, who was very warm and friendly and showed us all the places. The visit was followed by a nice lunch, I had a vegetarian plate with a nicely seasoned salad. Our restaurant host was also very welcoming.

Wonderful day out with a great crew

Small group on that boat make it really comfortable. The crew members were great and kind. The itinarry was well designed and with the good balance of discovery and swimming. We had a nice stop for lunch and all timings were just enough time to enjoy. We highly recommend this tour to anyone as we are sure they will be pleased.

Friendly Helpful crew, amazing places

We booked a shared cabin charter with my wife. All started well. Everything they promised were fulfilled plus even some more. During our trip, they called and asked us if everything's fine or not. It was very lovely because they wanted to be sure that our trip was okay. On the other hand, crew was totally friendly and helpful. Whenever i needed some help or information, they were there to help me. Long story short, it was totally worthy trip. Loads and loads of fun and enjoyment. That's what we wanted, that's what we got <3
