A new trip for 2010

The Turkish Blue Cruise coast is surely at its best on this tour. Sailing from Marmaris, along the Fethiye Gulf and around the famous Gocek Islands you cannot fail to be enchanted by the wooded mountains as they meet the turquoise waters where the Aegean and Mediterranean Seas meet. We have loads of activities for you such as swimming, snorkelling, hiking, canoeing in the sea and other optional water sports as well as visiting beautiful beaches, the lively towns of Fethiye and Marmaris and historical sites too.

You will be sailing around the Turkish Blue Cruise coast onboard a wooden sailing boat known as a gulet. The Captain and his English partner Anne with their Turkish crew take care of everything for you including the sailing and cooking!

This offers a wonderful combination of walking, relaxation, sightseeing, alfresco eating, drinking and of course sailing along this stunning coastline. Once we drop anchor there's plenty of ways to relax whether you spend your time swimming, snorkelling, walking, using the onboard canoe and windsurfer or catching up on your reading you are sure to have a great holiday.

Wine and dine under the sun and stars, enjoying excellent Turkish cuisine cooked every day by the onboard chef using the freshest of local ingredients. Vegetarians can easily be catered for.

We have chartered a luxury gulet where you will find onboard that every cabin has individually controlled air-conditioning and has a private en-suite bathroom with home style toilet. Our gulet has 9 cabins with plenty of space for dining and sunbathing on the fore aft decks.

Accommodation

Our luxury gulet has 9 cabins, some cabins have one large bed and some have two individual beds, all have en-suite bathrooms with flush toilet and shower. A few cabins are available for sole occupancy of a cabin.

With a spacious aft deck designed for dining and lounging in the shade of a sun awning, the forward deck has sunbeds so you can relax and enjoy the cool breeze as you sail from bay to bay.

On our gulet blue cruise, we will be sailing around the beautiful turquoise coast, visiting sites such as the ruins of Caunos, the mud baths and the golden sands of Turtle Beach. You will cruise on the gulet for an average of 3 - 4 hours per day, sometimes under motor and under glorious sail when weather and time permits; Sometimes being led by a school of dolphins as we sail from one small secluded cove to another; swimming and snorkelling in beautiful bays discovering the centuries old ruins of a village submerged in the crystal clear waters.
