What is a gulet? A small sea craft. A refined version of a traditional fishing and cargo vessel used by fisherman and sponge divers to transport their catch in the old days.

A Gulet is a traditional design of a two-masted wooden sailing vessel from the south-west coast of Turkey, although frequently found all around the eastern Mediterranean. Today this type of vessel, varying in size from 14 to 35 meters, is now very popular for tourist charters although, for considerations of crew economy, diesel power is now almost universally used and many are not properly rigged for sailing.

Gulets are the hand-made charter yachts. Their decks are equipped with many comforts: several bedrooms with en-suite toilets and showers, a saloon with fine wines and branded strong drinks, a dining area at the rear deck, and sun tanning area on the front deck. These are the yachts of comfort and relaxation. Aboard such a yacht one can go on a voyage, celebrate jubilees or just have a rest

Building such a beauty usually costs quite a sum and lasts for several years. That's why along with the new yachts the old ones keep on furrowing the seas. They get some renewal at the yards, with restoration of interior and other alterations

Cabin charter is always an option to participate in a Blue Cruise, if no group of friends or family members to accompany.
One can hire a cabin on a gullet yacht (single or double) with her crew, for a specific period of time (usually a few days to one week), with pre defined fixed itinerary together with the other passengers as a shared- yacht basis, These type of Blue Cruises are also known as shared yacht cabin charters in Turkey.

Voyagers on these tours may be from a variety of countries, which only adds to the interest and enjoyment.
Blue Cruise Gulet accommodate 4 - 6 - 8 - 12 - 16 people.
In cabin charters, full board meals, crew services, passenger and vessel insurance, and harbor fees are included.

The small crewed gulet yacht charters are normally catered for by a Captain, a chef and a sailor.
When you hire a yacht, you are free to make up your own itinerary as you go along. Your skipper acts as a valuable advisory source and can guide you to some of the areas' lesser-known treasures.

Regardless of the itinerary and timings you are on your own to decide concerning the duration of your anchorage. The crew will be more than happy to consider your request providing that they comply with the sea and weather conditions.
The food brought to you during a gulet yacht charter in Turkey are comparable to some of the finest restaurants. On a crewed gulet yacht, you will have the chance to make comments on the menu items and request additional items as well.
All the catering on board the yacht will be carried as per your request.
It is possible to board or leave the yacht in Bodrum, Marmaris, Fethiye, Gocek, Kusadasi, or Antalya (Kemer) or nearby Greek ports.
