With over 5177 miles of coastline and surrounded by four seas, Turkey is a true treasure trove of coves, inlets, bays, and beaches. Unlike cruises on large ocean liners, a journey on a Turkish gulet lets you discover the hidden, often deserted, bays, coves, and islands along Turkey's stunning coast. You’ll witness a secret Turkey, breathtakingly beautiful and largely untouched by the typical tourist crowds!
A Blue Cruise combines sunshine, sea, history, and hiking across various cruise destinations. You can spend your days lounging in your swimsuit, relishing great food and sunlight, or you can engage in more thrilling activities like snorkelling, fishing, water skiing, banana rides, or exploring natural and historical landmarks.
Sailing along the coast of Turkey offers a truly enriching cultural experience, where you can interact with the warm and welcoming locals of coastal villages and towns. The small harbors and settlements provide an intimate glimpse into coastal life that large ships simply cannot replicate. In many ways, a gulet is like a full-service hotel, where every room has a sea view and the scenery constantly changes!
The most typical gulets feature between 4 to 8 double/triple cabins and can accommodate 8 to 20 passengers. Each cabin is equipped with either a double berth or a lower double berth with an upper single berth (bunk-style). Every cabin is fitted with a wardrobe for hanging clothes, along with several drawers. Additionally, each cabin has its own ensuite bathroom, including toilet facilities and a pull-out shower hose attached to the basin.
Inside the gulet, you'll find a salon/bar/indoor dining area, along with a fully equipped kitchen. The aft deck offers a covered outdoor dining and lounging area, perfect for relaxation. The forward deck is furnished with numerous sunbeds and can be shaded by a canopy when the yacht is not in motion. For easy access to the water, a straight ladder typically descends beneath the water’s surface.
