These beautiful sights, which were known only by local sailors until 40 years ago, are now easily accessible by sailing boat or traditional schooner by everyone who wishes to have an unforgettable holiday. You can either organize your own group and rent a schooner, establishing your own route, or share a boat with new acquaintances and join a blue voyage on a pre-established route. At stopovers, you can expend surplus energy on various water sports, lie on deck beneath the Mediterranean sun, dreaming of new holidays and various routes in quietude.

Different standards and various passenger capacities also provide you with plenty of choice depending on your holiday budget and for the preferences of your group.

The Blue Voyage tempts you to a completely unique holiday experience, bringing together the backdrop of a cultural heritage of thousands of years, spectacular scenery, and an on-board lifestyle centred around the sun and sea, good food, good friends old and new… and complete, utter, unforgettable relaxation. | | A gulet is a traditional Turkish motor sailing yacht built for cruising off shore in the calm warm waters of the Mediterranean. Over the years gulets have evolved from traditional crafts for fishing and transportation into their present profile with a broad beam and wide deck. These yachts are ideally designed to centre life on deck with spacious decks and a large aft area used for dining and relaxing.
Today's gulets are comfortably equipped with all of the amenities of home and encourage an environment in which you are expected to do nothing but lie back enjoy yourself. The closeness of the small group of people on board promotes an atmosphere of friendship and sharing; relations among passengers and crew tend to be relaxed and casual.
Our Yachting's gulets are 14 - 32 metre boats and have 3 - 10 cabins, with berths for up to 20 people. (The crew sleep and use the facilities in their separate quarters). All Our gulets have bar, lounge, music system, fishing lines, sun beds and canoes. Cabins have electricity and wc/shower. In Gulets are available with, or without air-conditioning. The crew of 3 - 4 serve you on board as captain, cook and seaman and are true experts in extending to you the great Turkish tradition of hospitality. |
