Turkish Blue Coast Gulet Cruise

We have arranged a very different type of family holiday for you and your children. You will be sailing around the Turkish 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!

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. Sometimes we are 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.

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 snorkelling, 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 "comfort" gulet where you will find onboard that every cabin has individually controlled air-conditioning and has a private en-suite bathroom. Our gulet has 9 cabins with plenty of space for dining and sunbathing on the fore & aft decks.

Accommodation

Our comfort gulet sleeps 18 in 9 cabins, some cabins have one large bed and some have two individual beds, all have en-suite bathrooms with flush toilet and shower. Some families will be allocated a twin cabin and some a double berth.

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 other times under  glorious sail when weather and time permits.

Why is this a great holiday for Single Parents and their children? 

Children have the time of their life on this holiday, they seem to have unlimited energy for jumping and diving off the boat into the sea, learning how to snorkel. Often, the kids get together and put on a show (we love it when they do Mamma Mia since we know all the words now! The crew love to help!).

Recommended age 6 yrs + (Ideally your children should be able to swim and if not must have swimming aids)
