WELCOME ON BOARD

A traditional cruise in a gulet yacht is nothing like taking a cruise on a large cruise ship. The blue cruise does not involve any open sea cruise. It is an outdoors event, which combines the sea, sun, nature, history, people, fun and great food.

Gulet cruises very close to the shore and most of the time in bays or coves, so you rarely encounter rough waters. The gulet usually anchors overnight in tiny coves about 20-30 meters from the shore. During a normal one- week cruise 2 or 3 nights are spent docked in the marina of a coastal town where you can shop, dine at restaurants or enjoy the nightlife.

During the blue cruise you will have plenty of time to enjoy the scenery, swim and snorkel in the clean blue waters, sunbathe or go to the shore and trek or explore ancient ruins around. Water sports are available for an extra fee such as water ski, jet-ski, windsurfing and banana boat. In the daytime we cruise for a few hours and may sail if the wind allows. Near lunch and diner time, we approach the shore and drop anchor in a solitary bay, near ruins, a small village or off an island.

There will be at least two interesting stops each day where there is the opportunity to swim, fishing, snorkelling, windsurf, sunbathe, take a trip ashore or just read under the shade of the sun awning. The main goal is relaxation and recreation.

The evening on the gulet will start with a delicious dinner or sometimes a grill. Often the captain and crew plan some surprise entertainment, such as competitions, music and song, so that the guests can have fun.

YACHT CREW

The crew on our gulets consist of 2 to 5 local people including a captain, a cook and the sailors. All crew members are highly qualified. Captains are selected from a group of experienced and licensed mariners with a vast amount of knowledge on the seas and nearby coasts. Our cooks are crafty experts specialised in local and international cousines. Crew members (depending on your boat selection) can speak basic to advanced level of English. Some of them can also speak German, French, Russian or Italian. Our crew do their best to provide our customers with a comfortable and pleasant cruise. You will see that they are really friendly and enthusiastic about assiting you with your needs and wishes.
