We have arranged a very different type of family holiday for you and your children. We have loads of family activities 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!
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.
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 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.
• Other Holidays - Just4You Turkish Gulet
Turkey was fantastic, absolutely loved the boat, food was very good, enjoyed all the other holidaymakers company and Anne & the crew were great. Watersports were brilliant. I would definitely do a sailing holiday again.
It really was a great and memorable trip, something really different.
Thank you so much for organising the Turkey gulet trip, it was everything I hoped it would be from the description, I just would very much have loved a second week of it! The boat was great, wonderful fresh food, lovely staff and the best bit was sleeping out on deck every night under the shooting stars.
Had the best time ever. Thanks.
Accommodation
Our luxury 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 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.
Why is this a great holiday for Single Parents and Kids?
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 and of course splashing their parents! 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!).
The safety issues for children onboard aren't so different to children being near the sea or a swimming pool on a traditional beach holiday, but certainly do need to be considered. Children shouldn't be younger than six years old and should be able to swim (confidently or not!), please bring swimming bands if necessary. Parents clearly need to take responsibility for their children on this holiday.

Mango Holidays sometimes referred to as MangoKids run holidays for single parents with their children. Small families with just one or two children are often penalised by the big tour operators who charge for two adults. Mango is the only tour operator to offer a discount to these small families for all children up to the age of 16 travelling with just one adult. Going on a Mango Holiday is an opportunity for single parents to meet other single parents and many single parents become friends and stay in touch after their holiday. Mango is not a single parent dating organisation. If you are interested in single parent dating you should check out our links page, which recommends a few organisations helping single parents meet. Being single with kids can be a daunting experience but it can be fun and we have designed a programme of holidays and weekend breaks for solo travellers with children to make sure they have some fun. Our solo holidays for single parents with children consist of adventure and activity breaks, ski holidays and holidays in the sun. Mango single parent holidays take place in the UK and overseas. In the UK we have holidays in Devon, Brecon Beacons and Pembrokeshire and we have a Christmas Party weekend in Warwickshire at the end of November. Mango holidays for single parent families overseas travel to Mallorca, Malta, Cyprus, Jersey, Morocco and Lapland to see Santa.
