Especially if you go for crewed cabin charters.  Blue Cruise deals can be obtained throughout the year except for the peak yacht charter seasons between June and September.

Turkish gulet rentals are quite enjoyable along the turquoise coast. There are many yacht charter routes to choose from. These blue boat tours in Turkey set their coordinates from gulet charter routes such as Bodrum, Marmaris, Fethiye, Gocek and charter destinations to Greece, Gulf of Kekova, Gokova, and many other ports of call along the Turkish Mediterranean coast.

There is simply no other way to experience and discover Turkey's infinite history than by sea. Blue Voyages are becoming more and more popular every year, whilst they try to maintain losing their original cultural character. The definition of Blue cruises is chartering a yacht and cruising from cove to cove for relaxation and water sports. But holidaymakers do take the cruise not only to have fun but also to discover and support the coast’s tremendous historical heritage.

An alternative to chartering an entire boat is to join in on a regular departures and book a cabin charter. You will have a chance to meet people from around the world while enjoying one of the most unique and relaxing holidays in the Turkish Mediterranean and Aegean. These cabin charter cruises are not crowded. You are on a boat that you share with other couples or families, and have your own crew that will be there for your needs. So if you are seeking a gulet cruise deal in Turkey or to the Greek Islands, then a cabin yacht charter may be the route to take.

Alternatively a private gulet charter for your own group can also be affordable. There are good deals on gulet charter prices as you split the total cost amongst your group.  Either way, the fun and excitement, the peace and quite, the beauty and relaxation is always there - not to mention the professional, warm and friendly service on board!

A journey on a private gulet cruise is the best way to discover the pristine turquoise waters and historical riches of the southern Turkish coastline and Greek islands.

Fri, 30 Mar 2012 11:31:00 -0700 Gulet Charter in Turkey – How to Organize it Right http://guletcharterturkey.posterous.com/gulet-charter-in-turkey-how-to-organize-it-ri http://guletcharterturkey.posterous.com/gulet-charter-in-turkey-how-to-organize-it-ri

Turkey gulet charter holidays begin with the selection of the right gulet followed by the right itinerary and ideal gulet prices.  It may become confusing to choose the right gulet for your gulet charter as there are so many to choose from.  However if you take it step by step, then you will eventually find the right accommodation.

First you need to determine the size of your group. How many people will be a part of your gulet cruise? Will you need an extra cabin or two for the just-in-case last minute joiners? Gulets vary in the type of cabins. Each gulet offers a mixture of VIP, master, double, triple, single and twin cabins. These cabin types make a difference in not only the number of guests but also the age and status of each. VIP, master, double cabins offer double beds that would be ideal for couples and the twin cabins have 2 twin beds. Single cabins only have one bed. So if you were two families of four with each family having 2 children, ideally you would look for a gulet that offers either 2 master cabins or 2 double cabins; and 2 twin gulet cabins. Therefore its not really a matter of the total group size, it’s also finding a gulet that can cater to the right type of cabin type. To do this part, it is advisable to ask your gulet charter agent to look on your behalf as they are the ones that know the gulet selection the best.

Greek island gulet charter from TurkeyThe next step is to realize what your budget is. Generally the class of gulets can vary where some luxury gulets can be in the same price range as the deluxe class gulets. So once you have your shortlist of gulets, you can narrow it down to the price that is right for your pocket book.

When you book your yacht charter holidays, a Preferences List is given for you and your group to fill out. This list helps the gulet charter agent and the crew on board of the gulet you booked, know what foods and beverages are acceptable so that come mealtime you are eating and drinking the foods that are appropriate for you and your guests.  Generally there are 3 types of menus to choose from for a full board menu however, guests are welcome to bring on board their own groceries as well for the chef to prepare during their Blue voyage gulet charter.  It is usually more cost effective if you let your agent and the crew know which foods you like as they may get more for your money, rather than shopping just anywhere for your groceries.

So once you have selected and booked your gulet, made your deposit payment and the Preferences list is filled out and sent to your gulet charter agent, the next thing you will need to determine is your journey to the gulet. Will you require an airport transfer? If so, do let your gulet charter agent know so that they can make the arrangements accordingly.

Prior to your departure from home, packing for your gulet cruise charter will have to be done. Generally, it is a pack-whatever-you-wish deal. Most guests do not bring much as they are constantly in the water or sunbathing and doing rather casual activities. And let’s not forget that the cabins aren’t like a hotel, so the more luggage you have the more space it will occupy in your cabin. However if you have plans on going out in the evenings and night time and wish to fancy up a bit then of course you can bring whatever evening wear you wish to wear for the occassions.  The whole idea of a gulet travel is to be easy going and relaxed.

Towels and linen are provided so you don’t really have to worry about those items but if you have your favorite beach towels you would prefer to use, then why not, bring them too!

Itineraries are probaby the most flexible part of the gulet sailing holiday. If you are a first-timer, you might like to try a popular itinerary first and then determine an alternative itinerary for the next time – custom made just for you. Gulet charters in Greece are quite favored by guests.  However itineraries can change during the trip. It all depends on the weather conditions and other factors. This subject is best discussed during the trip with your experienced captain; as he or she is the one that knows the regions the best.  He / she may make suggestions that may make the gulet charter trip more interesting and exciting.

Fri, 30 Mar 2012 11:30:00 -0700 What does it take to have a Memorable Yacht Holiday? http://guletcharterturkey.posterous.com/what-does-it-take-to-have-a-memorable-yacht-h http://guletcharterturkey.posterous.com/what-does-it-take-to-have-a-memorable-yacht-h

A memorable yacht charter cruise in Turkey can be as good or as fantastic as you wish to make it. The holiday is dependent on you, but before you get in line, the organization of your holiday, the choice in yacht, and the activities that go with it must be in place.  A well established, professional and highly experienced yacht charter company can prepare this for you.

With dozens if not hundreds of islands between Turkey and Greece, and over 100 Turkish gulets to choose from, filtering out a shortlist is really the task of your charter agent, Turk Yacht. Only they know which yacht would be most suitable for you – as they know each gulet quite well.  This comes from being in the yachting sector for over a decade and hundreds of organized charter holidays.

When it comes to destinations, if this is your first time, then discussing your expectations and expressing what sort of places you would like to see is important in choosing the right itinerary.  However, if not a novice and you have gone on these superb blue cruise charters before, then it may be easier to name the destination points and then take it from there.

Having your charter route in place as well as the gulet you will be chartering is the most of what needs to be done. Then with a few water activities, you’re set to go.  How memorable is how much of all this wonderfully organized gulet holiday you will enjoy, is up to you.

Professional and knowledgeble gulet crew service

Of course the crew is very important.  The service they give you is a sensitive point.  There’s no enjoyment with a crew that doesn’t know much about customer service.  Guests like information.  Guests also like to ask questions. So the crew must be prepared and knowledgable in speaking to the guests and sharing their knowledge of the gulet cruise and the places and activities that go along with them.

Pack light for your gulet holiday. The cabins aren’t huge and preferably use soft luggage so that they can be folded and tucked away easily.  But most importantly bring items that will help you share your memories.  Take lots of photos. You never know what you may get caught on film.  A video camera would be very ideal as well.  Recording your live events and special moments throughout your yacht holiday will certainly remind you of how much fun you had and all the places you saw and people you met.  Life is about memories. It’s not everyday that you have the chance to go on agulet sailing holiday in Turkey or Greece.

The crew and your yacht charter company are professionals and it’s their job to make it as comfortable as possible for you.  Keep in mind that you are in a foreign country that has a unique culture and different cuisine, so open-mindedness will be to your advantage.  You’re on holidays! …and holidays on board a Turkish gulet in the Mediterranean should not only be fun and exciting, but also relaxing, full of discovery and pleasure.

Have any questions? We are only a telephone call or email message away!  Or leave us your number, and let one of our yacht charter agents call you to discuss your yacht holidays.

luxury yacht charter turkeyOur experienced staff have been trained to provide personalized private services to our guests around the clock so that your holiday is a safe and stress-free journey on board.

Although all of our Turkey yacht charter destinations are each beautiful from one another, we do recommend the Marmaris to Greek Islands itinerary. It gives our guests a great opportunity to explore two countries and two cultures during the week long Blue cruise gulet charter sailing holiday from Turkey to Greece.

On the first day, our boat will be anchored in Marmaris Harbour for dinner and overnight stay. Marmaris, which was built upon the antique Caria city; Physkos has been under the governorship of many different civilizations. The most valuable work of art that you will see today is Marmaris Castle dating from 1577. There is also a mosque and an 8-room caravansaray covered with arches from the Ottoman Period. The ruins of the Antique times lie on Asar Hill; a small hill located on the northern side of the city. Being one of the best-known touristic places of Turkey. Marmaris also has a large marina.

bodrum yacht charterOn day two, after breakfast, you will be informed about the cruise itinerary and then we will set sail for Serçe Bay after the customs formalities are completed. In this beautiful bay you can see the Byzantine shipwreck from the 11th century, which is exhibited in Bodrum Museum. We will anchor at Bozukkale for the overnight stay. In the ancient city of Bozukkale (Loryma), there is a castle which stretches out in a rectangle with its city walls and 9 towers. The name Bozukkale means ‘crooked castle’ and might be associated with the fact that one side of the castle is missing. Because of its geographical situation and the narrow port entrance, the port was also used by the Greek naval forces during the Peloponnese Sea Battle. Karor, the Commander of Athens gathered all his ships here before the Cnidus War in 395 B.C., and Demetrius; the son of Antigonos used this port for preparations before attacking Rhodes in 305 B.C.

gulet cruise turkeyDay three is an interesting day. Early in the morning we start to cruise to Bozburun which is a small fishing town. This area was popular and suitable for sponge-diving but nowadays the people of the island are no longer interested in sponge-diving as it is not financially benificial and it is dangerous. In the recent years sponge-diving has been replaced by gulet tourism. We will anchor at Dirsek Bükü for lunch and a swimming break. Today, our last stop will be at Bencik Bay; which has a very narrow entrance but a unique view once you get inside. Bencik is located at the narrowest part of the peninsula that divides the Hisarönü Gulf from the Gökova Gulf but it is located on Hisarönü side. In 550s B.C. the Cnidus people wanted to dig a tunnel in the narrowest land piece of the peninsula between the Hisarönü Gulf and the Gökova Gulf as a defence line against the Persians. In that way, they would make two peninsulas one island and the defence would be easier. They started with diligence and put in a lot of effort; however, in the end they could not manage and the city was conquered by the Persians. For dinner and overnight stay, we will anchor at Bencik Bay.

symi greek island greece yacht charter turkeyOn the fourth day, our first stop will be Aktur Bay. After lunch and a swimming stop, we will cruise to Datça. Food and water will be supplied for the boat from Datça Harbour. Datça was founded by the Dorians who came from the Aegean Sea to the southern coast of Ionia in the 7th century B.C. The island has no humidity at all and has fresh air with plenty of oxygen. The historian Strabon was right when he remarked of Datça’s weather: “God would send his beloved servants to Datça to live longer”. According to a myth while the Spanish pirates were passing by the coast of Datca, they disembarked people with Hansen’s disease in Sarıliman Bay and these abandoned people recovered from their disease with the help of the clean weather of Datça. You can explore Datça by yourself or join the optional Cnidus tour. For dinner and overnight stay, we will anchor in Datça.

On day five we make our first stop at the Greek island of Symi. After customs formalities are completed, we will set sail to Symi Island and anchor at a near bay to Symi Harbour for lunch and a swimming break. We will anchor at Symi Port early in the evening. You can see the shoreline with its neo-classical houses and the peripheral districts. You are going to adore Symi Island for its pine and oak forests and unique bays. You can hire a vehicle to go to the Monastery of Panormitis located in a well-protected bay at the southern part of Symi.

Rhodes yacht charter from TurkeyNext, on day six we will cruise to Rhodes early in the morning. Rhodes is the largest of the Dodecanese Islands.  The island is quite a popular holiday destination as it has one of the best-preserved and the largest European Medieval cities and has warm weather for 300 days of the year. Rhodes has been the cradle of many civilizations; starting with the knights of St. John in the Middle Ages, then Ottomans and Italians. Thus, the island has a unique historical harmony and beauty. The main port of Rhodes is Rhodes City which bears the same name with the island. The other very touristic areas of Rhodes island are; Lindos and Kamiros. This city, which is still surrounded by 12 meter thick city-walls, gives you the feeling of travelling back to Medieval times especially when you walk around its narrow, stone-paved roads. After dinner, our guests are highly recommended to enjoy a Rhodes night out.

Day seven is the return back to Marmaris. After entering Marmaris Port, we will anchor at Cennet Island (Paradise Island). Lunch time and a swimming break will take place here. Then, we will anchor at Marmaris Harbour for dinner and overnight stay.

The next morning, after the 10:30am breakfast on board, our guests will leave the boat with precious memories.
