The "Blue Cruise" ; exploring the beautiful
unspoilt coastline of south-west Turkey by a
traditional Turkish gulet is a magical experience.
Escape to the pleasures of relaxing under the sun,
swimming, good food and magnificent scenery. The
daily experience of sailing to a new adventure on
crystal clear waters in every shade of blue and
green is rewarding and satisfying.This is a
holiday to remember !
Comfortable accommodation and first rate meals
are standard features on these gleaming wooden
crafts, designed along the traditional lines of
Aegean sailing boats.
The opportunity to combine sun, sea, history
and the hikes on land is best experienced on a
Blue Cruise. You can either relax in your bathing
suit all day long, enjoy the good food and the sun
or you can experience more exciting activities
like diving, snorkelling or fishing
Private Yacht Charters
For groups of people up to 16 people, you can
charter an entire gulet privately. Please visit
the links below for detailed information about the
yacht charter agencies, yachts, itineraries,
prices and yachting conditions at the south-west
coasts of Turkey.
Even the yachts are moored in different ports,
it is possible to transfer them depending on the
route and yacht you choose.
What is a Gulet (or Goulette)?
Traditional Turkish yachts are called "Gulet".
A gulet is an all wooden handmade motor sailing
yacht built for cruising the coasts in the calm,
warm waters of the Mediterranean. These yachts are
built to center life on deck during the charter. A
spacious deck and a large, half-moon shaped aft,
dining and lounging areas are their main features.
Accommodations from 6 to 16 persons in seperate
double cabins, some with en suite wc/shower is
available. They might not all be equipped to sail,
but most havea main sail to be used when the wind
is suitable and the clients wish.
Life on Board
You could lounge on the deck sunbathing,
sipping your drink; read your favorite novel or
explore the turquoise waters with your snorkel.
Deck ladders downto the sea and deck showers to
get the salt off come in really handy. Windsurfs
or surfboards should definitely be tried out for
endless fun. Water skis and jet skis arealso
available for rent at most beaches. Land trips to
ancient ruins are extra. You can even fish for
your supper and your cook will gladly prepare it
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 goulette is the
perfect solution.
What to Bring
You need casual wear only; 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. What else? Well, some towels,
a mini first aid kit including antihistamine,
cream plus toiletries, for the gentlemen who don't
want to grow a holiday beard, a battery operated
razor and shaving soap. Handsoap is available upon
request and one hand towel and bedding is provided.
Please be forewarned that electrical appliances
may only be connected while the yacht is tied up
to land.
Your
Crew
Crew usually consists of a captain, cook and a
seaman/mechanic. On the larger gulets a fourth
crew member will be at your service. They are very
friendly, ready to help you for arelaxed
atmosphere but at the same time extremely
professional, familiar with the coastalwaters and
the gulets inside out. The crew members are
usually source of information on the local history
and surroundings, being able to advise the best
places to snorkel and anchor etc. Also you can get
some tips from the cook on localcuisine.
