About Gulets and Blue Cruise Charters in Turkey

Blue Cruises generally begin in Bodrum, Gocek or Marmaris. We do not have fixed routes, as these conflict with the principles of private sailing. Alternatively, we suggest a route based around where you wish to go. Below is a possible itinerary for a one-week Blue Cruise:

Sunday
Embark the boat in Gocek in the afternoon and leave the marina. Anchor overnight in one of the forty anchorages of the Gocek Gulf.

Monday
Sail to Oludeniz and anchor overnight at Gemile (St. Nicholas) Island. It is believed that St. Nicholas lived on this island. Gemile was one of the sanctuaries for the pilgrims from Europe on their way to Jerusalem and Palestine - which explains why there are so many churches on this very small island. (B.L.D.)

Tuesday
Sail to Fethiye and enter the marina after breakfast. Visit the weekly local market, which is the biggest of the region. Return to the boat in the afternoon and sail to Fethiye Gulf to swim and anchor overnight. A diving package can be arranged for those who are interested. There would be three dives in different sites. Diving guests leave the boat after breakfast and join the dive boat, returning in the afternoon. (USD 75) Please ask for more diving information.

Wednesday
Set sail to Gulf of Gocek after breakfast visiting Cleopatras' Bay, Wall Bay and anchor overnight in Tomb Bay or Monastery Bay.
