 In Crewed
Yacht Charters; everyday the yachts normally visit two or three bays
and there would be a maximum 4 hours sailing per day. The last stop
in a day will be the place to stay for the night. It is necessary
for the yacht to visit a harbour every three or four days to enable
us taking on water and fresh provisions. These harbours will be in
little fishing villages and sometimes in small towns. Traditional
wooden yachts usually cruise with engine, but they sail if the wind
direction fits to the rotation and is strong enough.
Food & Drink
 For the
private yacht charters, the food on board can be organized by our
company. The menu would be including the service of full breakfast,
four course lunch, afternoon tea or coffe service with cake and
cookies and five course dinner.
However, the
passengers on board can buy their own food stocks. In both ways our
cook on board will cook and serve. The menu is prepared mainly on
the famous traditional Turkish Kitchen. When you have any other
special requests (communal requests - religious preferences - health
oriented) can be organized with a notice in advance.
There are soft
drinks, local and imported alcoholic beverages in the bar of the
yachts. If you have a special request of a drink we may not have at
the bar, please inform us in advance. In bareboat charters you may
easily find restaurants in little fishing villages where you can eat
fresh fish and local meals. In cabin charters the price given in our
price list include the full board accomodation on board and we use
fixed weekly menu for these kind of cruises.
Activities
All our
traditional yachts are equipped with windsurf, dingy with outboard
fishing and snorkeling equipment. There are ample possibilities of
different water sports such as jet-skiing, water-skiing, banana
riding at modarate prices organised by special water sports groups
at different bays visited. Up on request we can arrange jet skiing,
water skiing equipment to hire during your charter. Once the boat is
moored the clients can visit the archaeological ruins, having a
little walk in to the pine forests and explore the beautiful
coastline. Reading your book and having a siesta under the tent with
a breeze may be another option. Of course, sealovers would enjoy
swimming, snorkelling and sunbathing.
In charters you
can join to land excursions to the nearby local towns, ancient sites,
natural attractions. For instance in Bodrum-Gökova-Bodrum programme,
you can join Marmaris tour or in Marmaris-Fethiye-Marmaris programme
you may visit Caunos. We also organize shopping tours to local
handicraft centres or bazaars to make you see the extensive carpet,
leather, jewellery, textile products or gift items of Turkey.
 Turkish
cuisine is ranked among the world's top cuisines - right there after
French and Chinese. Fresh vegetables and fruit are plentiful,
deliciously fresh and lusciously sun-ripened. Bread is a particular
treat - freshly baked every day and dangerously more-ish!
Whilst on board, your day will start with traditional Turkish
breakfast, consisting of fresh bread with cheeses, olives, honey and
jam, yogurt, tomatoes and fruit. A light lunch is next in line -
with perhaps stuffed aubergine, rice and salad one day, and savoury
pastries stuffed with meat or cheese (börek), accompanied by the
traditional combination of yogurt, salt and water known as ayran,
the next day. Afternoon tea takes place around 5 pm. After an early
evening nap, dinner concludes the day with traditional mezes,
freshly grilled seafood and meats, salads and fruit to finish as the
sunsets and stars come up. You might want to try to catch your own
fish for a barbecue on board or on the shore - as with everything on
a gulet cruise, flexibility is the key. Local drinks are excellent
accompaniments to dinner - try raki with water and ice for a
traditional & highly intoxicating touch, local beer for extra
refreshment, or perhaps one of Turkey's range of home produced wines.
You can buy all kind of drink from the bar on board or Private
Charter guests are also welcome to provide their own beverages.
