Your accommodation

Your accommodation on the Blue Voyage cruise is a traditional Turkish gullet boat which is a hand-made boat using expert craftsmanship and techniques to produce an amazing sailing vessel that will also be your transportation on your once in a lifetime tour of the Turkish Riviera. The gullet boats are designed to be relaxing and luxurious, a perfect way to describe it would be your own floating palace on water.

You can choose a variety of boat sizes that have two to six cabins. During the day, relax on deck as you sail from destination to destination. At night time, join everyone for a home cooked meal of Turkish cuisine and end the day in perfect harmony with wonderful companionship. Most of the gullet boats are also equipped with fishing equipment and snorkeling gear allowing you to make the most of your time at sea.

The Crew

If you are not an expert at sailing the seven seas, there is no need to worry as most gullet cruises come with your own crew that will supply the finishing extra touches to make your holiday a relaxing and stress-free time.

The captain will plot your route and ensure that you get from location to location safe and sound. Deck hands are on board to keep your sailing vessel clean and also provide you with refreshments and local knowledge. Don’t forget about the cook who will introduce you to the delights of Turkish cuisine.

The Route

There are many blue voyage routes as there are over 100 locations that make up the Turkish Riviera. You can tailor-make your route by speaking to the captain or you can follow recommended routes set in place by expert sailors to appreciate the beauty of the coastline and of the seas.

We recommended that if it is your first time to Turkey, you take advantage of the routes that will dock you into the cosmopolitan resort of Bodrum, the vibrant and lively town of Marmaris and the beautiful, traditional coastal location of Fethiye.
