For families and for friends who wish to join up for a private cruise the chartering of the entire yacht, including crew is advantageous in every respect.Upon arrival our guests are assisted into their cabins. Once the guests are familiar with their cabins, a small information welcome meeting is held on deck. Depending on what time the guests arrive an appropriate refreshment is served. This is our opportunity for instructions, to describe to novice sailors life on board, safety procedures and establish a good coincidence between the Captain and guests. This is also a good time for the captain to show the guests the sea charts and describe the route to them.

You may provide the provisions or you can let us do all the shopping saving you all that unnecessary hassle in the heat thus paying the daily rate for fullboard.

We'll provide only the basics of your voyage's programme and you'll be free to settle details together with the Captain during the cruise. He will be happy to comply with your wishes, weather permitting.

Life on board   The modern gulets are equipped as comfortably as many small hotels. Everyday the yacht normally visit two or three bays, making the last stop the place, we stay for the night, It is necessary for the yacht to visit a larger harbour every three or four days to enable us to take on water and fresh provisions.

 

Guests participation is always welcome. Our Captains and crew members always enjoy passing their experience on to the guests and if they wish to steer the yacht or lend their hands at setting the sails, our crew can teach them. We prefer to use the sails as much as possible rather then cruising.

 

The energetic guestts may take the advantage of the windsurf or fishing equipment on board, and those who wish to do absolutely nothing are encouraged to do so. Once the boat is moored the guests can visit the archaeological ruins and explore the beautiful coastline and countryside. They offer the perfect atmosphere for a lazy holiday in which you are expected to do nothing that you do not wish to do.Days are spent swimming or exploring the turquoise deep with your snorkel, reading your favourite novel, trying the delicious Turkish cuisine, drinking something wonderful, sunning, windsurfing, playing cards and generally relaxing.You can even fish for your supper which the cook will gladly prepare for you.Mealtimes are another form of entertainment with all that exquisite Turkish cuisine and wonderful conversation.Having a meal under the stars on a dead flat sea gently lapping the sides of the boat is an experience not to be missed.

 

You are only going to want casual wear; non slip foot wear, your swimming gear ,a sun hat, some T-shirts and shorts, a sweater for cool evenings and for excursions and climbs blue jeans and strong footwear. Instead of one large suitcase, we recommend that you take two smallish soft bags as they are far more convenient when it comes to stowing them away in your cabin. What else? Well, some towels, a mini first aid kit including antihistamine cream plus toiletries. The guests find their cabins fully prepared: clean bed linen, hand soap and toilet paper. It is advisable for clients to bring their own towels. For the gentlemen who don't want to grow a holiday beard, a battery operated razor and shaving soap. Please be forewarned that electrical appliances may only be connected whilst the yacht is tied up to land so have everything readily recharged.   On a gulet, the crew is charged with serving the passengers, as well as running the yacht.Crews usually consist of a Captain, Cook and Seaman/Mechanic .
