BLUE CRUISE

 

 

Blue Voyage is a yachting tour, cruising along Turkey's Aegean and Mediterranean coasts. There is a flexible choice of itineraries since tours can start from Bodrum - Marmaris - Datca - Fethiye - Gocek - Kas and Antalya. An ideal way to explore Turkey's unspoiled south west coast line, with its rocky peninsulas, sandy coves and islands. It is an area rich in historic remains, many of them on the coast (even under the sea). Yachting specializes in Gulet charter on our ever-expanding fleet of comfortable, wide beam vessels which are fully crewed by experienced staff and offer expert sailors and novices alike the opportunity to relax and enjoy the unspoiled coastline visiting fertile coves and secluded bays the only way possible by yacht vacation. Turkey is a treasure chest of coves, inlets, bays and beaches from which yachters can choose a different and always private anchorage each night.

 

The sailing paradise of Turkey is home of the Blue Voyage. This idyllic cruise means sailing with the nature. It means also experiencing the history of human being from the sea rather than from land; a journey which carries you to the private beach of Cleopatra, the eternal fires of Mt. Olympos and Myra the archaeological remains of ancient civilizations. For the lovers of the active life, sailing in the clear waters provides the opportunity of Swimming, Snorkeling Fishing, Canoing, Parasailing, Banana, Skiing, Surfing and Diving.

 

Sailing in Turkey also allows you to experience a thruly enriching cultural exchange with the hospitable and gracious people of the coastal villages and towns. The tempered winds which generally blow from the west and northwest make the long summers ideal for the yachting and seem encourage an appreciation of nature. From some of the turquoise coast's unspoiled and sheltered bays, you can see mountain peaks rising to almost 3000 meters above sea level. Fortunately, modern facilities and comfort have not developed in Turkey at the expense of ancient hospitality and slower pace of life.

 

A gulet is a yacht typically built of pine wood and styled with pointed fore and round aft. Traditionally they have been built in Marmaris and Bodrum area in Turkey and hence are referred to as "Bodrum-type" yachts or " Gulettes"; sometimes also referred to as 'Caiques'. Each one is equipped with one or two masts but of the weight, they are in fact more suitable for cruising than for sailing. They have superior seagoing quality are very comfortable, offering large living areas, wide sun decks, spacious cabins, WC/ showers and a sun aft deck furnished lounge area.

 

A gulet is a traditional handmade wooden boat equipped with masts. The most common gulets have 6 to 8 double cabins and so accomodate max.12 to 16 passengers. Unlike cruises on large ocean liners, on a gulet you can explore the secluded and often deserted bays, coves and islands of the spectacular Turkish coastline. You will see a hidden Turkey, beautiful beyond belief, and most of it completely unseen by the average tourist! During the day there are plenty of chances to swim and snorkel in the clear blue waters or explore the natural and historical sites along the way. Features of a gulet include an interior salon/bar area and a fully equipped galley.

 

We are organizing it possible for you enjoy a further adventure, sailing on one of the delightful purpose - built yachts called "Gulet" and to enjoy the sun, sea and beautiful coastline and to experience some undiscovered natural wonders this country offers.
