In honor of Thanksgiving, it’s Turkey Week at Boatbookings.com. Turkey as in Blue Cruises, Gulets, Bodrum, Fethiye, Gocek, Marmaris, Aegean Sea! If you have never been on a Gulet or a Blue Cruise, it’s a charter experience not to be missed.
If you’re not familiar with a Gulets, they were originally wooden fishing boats used in Southern Turkey. The Turks have always been expert boat builders, and have evolved these boats from spartan fishing boats into luxury sailing yachts with private cabins, ensuite bathrooms, huge sunning decks and all of the amenities. They are perfect yachts for a relaxing sail around the alluring and historical ports of Southern Turkey
We have a great Guide to Gulet Chater to get you in the mood – and there are “early bird” discounts up to 15% available if you book before the end of the year.
We visited LADY IN BLUE at anchor during the Monaco Yacht Show, and received VIP treatment from the fabulous young Crew! She is a little bit older but has a certain style, and a lounge bar feel. The yacht has unusual artwork and some quirky touches making her very contemporary. Even the bathrooms have a club feel about them.
