BRIEF HISTORY

The business was started in 2002 by Murat Ned Danisan, who founded Alaturka in 2005; the aim was to provide a sample of Turkish culture while using the newly-purchased gulet 'Alaturka' to run the popular Fethiye to Olympos blue cruises. In 2002, the business developed significantly when it undertook the new expansions of Turkey bus tours, tours, and travel assistance in other popular Turkish destinations. By March 2007, the business was better than ever, and they seized the opportunity to open their first accommodation site in Fethiye. A short two years later, in 2009, the main head operation of Farout was unveiled in the center of Fethiye. After years of running regular summer-long cruises, we have gained expertise in private chartering. Each summer season brings new excitement and chances for Farout to spread its wings further and welcome new team members to join the existing crew. With new destinations, alternative cruising, and bus routes, we look forward to the upcoming seasons and seeing Sail Turkey and Farout thrive amid the summer.
