Holiday in Turkey

Turkey offers good sailing and majestic coastal scenery, linking pine forested bays and islands during boat charters. The places one visits here are so astonishingly beautiful that he feels his eyesight insufficient to appreciate all.
The Blue Cruise is a magnificent voyage in which one witnesses the breathing Anatolian civilizations of millennium emerging out of the enchanting blue waters of the Turkey Aegean and Mediterranean coast. The outstanding monuments of Lycia would welcome you upon your visit the fabulous bays. The history, the sun and the sea have altogether carved out a wonderful beauty that you may consider it a genuine loss not to live through such an experience and feel the unique azure sea

GULET

Briefly, a gulet is a traditional Turkish style motor sailing boat built for cruising ashore in the calm warm waters of the Mediterranean. These yachts are built to center life on deck during the charter. Spacious decks and housing a large aft for dining and lounging area are their main features.

LIFE ON THE BOAT

You could lounge on the deck feeling the sun, sipping your favorite drink; read your favorite novel or explore the turquoise deep with your snorkel. Deck ladders down to the sea and deck showers to get the salt off come in really handy. Water sport equipment are also available for rent at most beaches. Land trips to plenty of ancient ruins to visit are extras. You can even fish for your supper and your cook will gladly prepare for you. Mealtimes are another form of entertainment with all that exquisite Turkish cuisine and wonderful conversation. Having a meal under the stars on a serene sea, gently touching the sides of the boat is an experience not to be missed. For those who prefer a different view each day and are prepared for the changing moods of Mother Nature, a holiday on a gullet is the perfect solution.

WHAT TO BRING

You need casual wear; non slip foot wear, swimming suit, a sun hat, some t-shirts and shorts, a sweater for cool evenings and for excursions and climbs, blue jeans and strong footwear. Instead of one large suitcase, we recommend that you take two small soft bags as they are more convenient to store in your cabin. Don't forget your bath towels and personal sanitary. For the gentlemen who don't want to grow a holiday beard, a battery operated razor and shaving soap. Please be forewarned that electrical appliances may only be connected while the yacht is tied up to land.

THE CREW

Depending on the size of the boat, the crew usually consists of a captain, cook and seaman. On larger boats over 24~25 meters, a fourth crew member will be at your service as a deck hand. The crew members are friendly providing a relaxed atmosphere but at the same time extremely professional familiar with the coastal waters of Turkey and the boat's inside out. The Captain is usually source of information on the local history and surroundings, being able to advise the best places to anchor for swimming, snorkeling and visiting. You can also get some super tips from the cook on local cuisine. Of course, they are generally water sport lovers and good divers.

A private yacht charter is privacy. Just you and your family or friends, the people you want to be with.
