Private Yacht Charters
PRIVATE GULET CHARTER
If you have a family or a group of friends who wish to travel together, why not consider a tailor-made private charter? You will have the yacht exclusively to yourselves! And we are offering a highly personal service and traditional cuisine served on board.
Our yachts
We can provide gulets to accommodate groups from 2 cabins to 16 cabins which means our largest gulet can accommodate up to 36 guests. Each gulet has a mix of twin and double- bedded cabins. Each cabin has its own separate lavatory, shower and wash basin.
All our boats are wooden motor/sailor yachts which range from 15-44 meters in length. They are constructed in a traditional design and known in Turkish as gulets.
We have divided our yachts into four qualities; Ultra Luxury, Luxury gulets, Standard Plus gulets(with A/C) and Standard gulets (without A/C).
Our yachts offer a high standard of safety and comply with local government and international regulations. These regulations are monitored thoroughly by the coastguard and harbor masters.
Life on Board
On our exclusive tailor-made tours your yacht will anchor in 2 or 3 bays daily depending on your chosen itinerary and there will be a maximum of 4 hours cruising per day. The last stop will be the place where we will stay for the night. We will usually use the motor to power the gulet. However, from time to time if the wind/ weather conditions permit, your crew will be happy to use the sails as well.
All of our gulets are equipped with a dingy, which is fitted with an outboard engine. For our customers’ use there is fishing and snorkeling equipment. Some of our gulets also have windsurf, canoe, water sports equipment and jet ski. Water sports and jet-skiing is at an extra cost and can be paid for on board. There are also ample opportunities to sample different water sports such as jet-skiing, water-skiing, ringo and banana boat riding. These are also available at an extra cost and are organized by specialist water sports groups at the different bays visited.
Once the gulet is moored you will have free time to visit any archaeological ruins, take a little walk in to the pine forests and generally explore the beautiful coastline. Reading your book and having a siesta under the shade with a breeze may be another option. Of course, sea-lovers can enjoy swimming, snorkeling and sunbathing.
We can also organize private land excursions upon your request to the nearby local towns, ancient sites and natural attractions.
Food & Drinks on Board
The meals during the cruise are prepared on board and are of a high standard. We may also recommend some local fish restaurants on your route for you to sample on a few occasions if you would like to.
Menus will be decided before the trip according to your requests and preferences.
We find our guests mainly prefer a traditional Turkish breakfast which consists of jams, honey, butter and fresh bread, a selection of cheeses, green olives, black olives, eggs, tomato and cucumber. This is served with strong Turkish tea, coffee, juice or milk. The chefs on board may prepare a surprise for our guests every morning such as scrambled egg with traditional Turkish sucuk (spicy sausage) or a selection of traditional Turkish pastries.
Lunch is usually a light meal, which most of our guests prefer in the heat of the day.
One main course, which is most delicious, is a Turkish vegetable meal (sometimes stuffed with meat) accompanied by salads, pasta, rice or chips and followed by fruit.
Afternoon tea time consists of tea, coffee, kinds of cookies and sometimes pastries.
At dinner the main course is fish or meat accompanied by kinds of Turkish and Greek mezes (starters) followed by desserts and fruit.
If you have any special requests (religious preferences - health oriented) these can be organized if notice is given beforehand.
Full Board supplement for a luxury menu is € 25,-and a deluxe menu is € 35,-per person per day.
The Deluxe menu is rich in sea food and consists of four servings a week of fresh local fish, calamari, octopus and shrimp. The Luxury Menu has three servings of fresh local fish and other sea food.
