Lycian Coast Türkiye - Forró Sailing Week 2026 (FSW26)
The Forró Sailing Week: Float Your Festival Dreams! ⛵💃🏼🕺🏻
Do you love dancing Forró at festivals with Forrózeir@s from all over the world? Do you enjoy sailing in well-tempered, crystal-clear waters? If you do, whether it's one or both, our Floating Forró Festival is absolutely perfect for you!
Event Details & Location
Join us for the adventure of a lifetime along the breathtaking Lycian Coast in Türkiye—the most stunning stretch of the Turquoise Coast.
Mediterranean Dream Sailing: Chart your course where pine-clad hills meet dazzling waters between Marmaris and Fethiye. Feel the rhythm of the Mediterranean and the steps of Forró, drop anchor in legendary bays, and soak up the sun on this unforgettable Turkish sailing adventure!
Getting There: Your journey begins at Fethiye Marina, easily reachable via Dalaman International Airport (DLM).
About the Forró Sailing Week (FSW)
Spend a full week living, sailing, and dancing with fellow Forrózeir@s from around the globe. Imagine dancing in the most special locations: lonely beaches, public squares, abandoned building sites, and nautical landing stages.
By Day: It's all about sun, sea, and fun! Enjoy the most diverse activities: swimming, snorkeling, stand-up paddling, yoga, relaxing on floaties, reading, sunbathing, even trying out wing-foiling, and much more. We'll also have our regular group cooking routine, explore beautiful coastal towns, and, of course, dance Forró on deck or on land. You can even learn the sailing basics from our experienced skippers!
By Night: We often manage to pull off famous "Forró Raft Parties" (check the cover photo!) with Caipirinhas on our connected catamarans. We'll stargaze under the clearest midnight sky, sometimes even enjoying a magical night swim through bioluminescent plankton.
We've been doing this for five years now, and frankly, words can't do justice to the travel experience. Ask a fellow "old salt forrózeir@" who has participated in our past events, or visit our official Website to learn more about us and our incredible journeys.

Ticket Booking Options
A boat is a fully equipped floating apartment, and the price difference is based on size and comfort. A higher budget translates into bigger cabins, larger beds, more common areas (and more space to dance Forró!), and more/larger bathrooms.
Tickets are sold per person based on the type of boat:
- Bronze Ticket: Two Hanse 46 ft booked
- Gold Ticket: Catamaran Lagoon 45 ft booked
You can get a €50 discounted price if you select a spot in a saloon (living area) or a bow cabin.
Cabin Sharing: If you book alone, you will share a cabin with another Forrózeir@ of the same gender. If you are booking with a friend, simply let us know their name to ensure you share a cabin.
