Ocean Wise has created The Wellness Charter for those who are looking to step back from the hustle and bustle of everyday life to focus on improving both their mental & physical health. Take some time with friends or family to slow down and spend 5 days relaxing, re-grouping and re-energising as you soak up the sunshine in the Turkish Riviera. Everyone has different needs when it comes to wellbeing and as such, The Wellness Charter can be adapted to focus on what each group of guests requires.
Our 40 foot catamaran is the perfect location for sunrise meditation, with comfortable spots all around the boat to sit and breathe. If you love yoga, sessions on a private island beach will invigorate you in a way that being in a gym studio just can’t. Hiking trails which are only accessible by boat mean that peace and tranquillity amongst the Turkish woodlands is almost guaranteed – although you may find yourself accompanied by some curious local goats and sheep that are dotted around the area!
Then again, why walk when you can run? For those who are all about fitness, the woodland trails are fantastic for cross country style runs, before leaping into the sea to cool down and wash off.
Swimming is one of the best sports to help boost your fitness and guests aboard Ocean Wise will certainly be able to do plenty of that. For those looking to elevate their fitness sessions, a few rounds of SUP Fit will tighten up those core muscles as you lunge, plank and press up while balancing on a paddle board. Not to mention the workout involved in sailing a boat around the Turquoise Coast! If fitness with a difference is what you are after, a week onboard with our crew will certainly deliver.
There is also the opportunity to add on some extra excursions to create your very own version of The Wellness Charter. These could include a cable car trip up a mountain, a hike through a valley of butterflies, or a day at the incredible Pamukkale hot springs.

Example itinerary of The Wellness Charter based on a 5 day trip.
Day 1 (check in from 2pm): Transfer from Dalaman airport to the marina and board Ocean Wise. Our host will welcome you with a refreshing drink as you settle in. Depending on time of arrival, a light lunch may be served. To allow for maximum flexibility in our guests arrival, the first night will be spent docked at our comfortable marina. This allows our guests to explore the local town and sample some wonderful cuisines at one of the seafront restaurants. With shops open until late, it is also a great chance to grab any last minute essentials that may have been forgotten.
Day 2: After waking up to a delicious breakfast, we set sail to explore some of the nearby islands. Here, our guests will feel rejuvenated after a cooling swim in the clear blue waters before lunch is served on deck. With time to make the most of the islands, a trip on a stand up paddle board is a must do activity. Guests may also choose to snorkel, spotting some of the colourful fish that are abundant in the area. A sunset beach run, fitness or yoga session would be the perfect end to the day, before dinner onboard. Relax in the main saloon or you could always challenge your friends or family to a board game before heading below deck for forty winks.
Day 3: Breakfast always tastes better after a bit of exercise so get your appetite ready with a morning hike to a local viewpoint. We will then hoist the sail and make our way down the coast. The skipper will stop along the way for guests to swim, snorkel or enjoy an impromptu SUP Fit session in between lunch. Ocean Wise will be moored off shore from one of the local towns with guests ferried across on the tender. There may be time to fit in a quick hike up to one of the many historical sites in the area before sundown if you are quick! Guests stay ashore for dinner before returning to Ocean Wise by tender.
Day 4: Today presents the chance for any optional excursions guests may want to enjoy after breakfast. These could include the Butterfly Valley hike, cable car trip or Pamukkale hot springs. Lunch will be provided for any guests remaining onboard Ocean Wise. After everyone is back from their various trips and had dinner ashore, the tender will bring all guests back to our boat.
Day 5: Today we head back out to sea and make our way to more spectacular islands. Depending on the wind, we may be able to paddleboard around the incredible Cleopatra’s Bath while en route Tonight, we anchor at one of the islands to enjoy some traditional Turkish hospitality at a beachside restaurant.
Day 7 (checkout by 10am): One last breakfast before all guests disembark for their transfer back to Dalaman Airport.
