Why Runner

A few things worth knowing before you write to us

Last updated 5 August 2026

We live here and we guide it ourselves

Runner is a family operation in Antalya, working since 1997 and now in its second generation. We guide most of our journeys ourselves. Our guides are licensed and local, and several have been with us more than ten years, which is why guests come back asking for the same person by name.

The itinerary is written for you

There is no booking engine on this site and that is deliberate. Every journey starts as a conversation: what draws you, how fast you like to move, what you would rather skip. Then we build the route around those answers and revise it with you until it is right.

Everything thought of, A to Z

What sets us apart is that we design the journey with you, from the first idea to the memory it becomes. From the moment you land to the pillow you sleep on, a guide who cares about the small things, your dietary preferences, your flight tickets, the anniversary you mentioned once in passing — all of it is thought of before you arrive, so that the journey you imagined is the one you take.

We charter gulets we have known for years

We do not own the boats and we do not crew them. Each gulet comes with her own captain and cook, and on these boats that is the point: they have been sailing this coast far longer than any crew we could put aboard. What we bring is the choosing. We work with the same owners season after season, we know which boat suits which group, and the one you sail on is picked for your party and your dates. See the fleet.

Start with a question

We are quite happy to answer one and never hear from you again.
