The Blue Cruise is the best way to get rid of all your blues! But that is not really how the name was coined… The name originated in Bodrum in the late 1950’s by a group of writers, painters, and others interested in natural beauty and historical sites.
The Blue Voyage started in the Gulf of Gokova and later extended to include the more distant southern shores of Turkey.
A Blue Cruise combines sun, sea, history and hikes at various cruise destinations.
You can either relax in your swimming suit all day long, enjoy the good food and the sunshine, or you can experience more exciting activities like snorkeling, fishing, water skiing, banana rides or exploring the natural and historical sites.
Sailing in Turkey allows you to experience a truly enriching cultural exchange with the hospitable and gracious people of the coastal villages and towns.
The small harbours and settlements offer an intimate view of coastal life which large ships cannot replicate authentically.
In many ways a gulet is like a full-service hotel where every room has a sea view and the scenery changes constantly!
With over 8,333 kilometers of coastline and four seas, Turkey is a real treasure chest of coves, inlets, bays and beaches.
Unlike cruises on large ocean liners, on a Turkish gulet you can explore the secluded and often deserted bays, coves and islands of the spectacular Turkish coastline.
You will see a hidden Turkey, beautiful beyond belief, and most of it completely unseen by the average tourist!

A Gulet is a handcrafted wooden motor-sailer, native to the Turkish coast. Unlike sleek, modern motor yachts, Gulets offer expansive deck space, a soulful aesthetic, and a stable, comfortable sailing experience.
Think of it as a "Floating Boutique Villa"—blending traditional Turkish craftsmanship with modern luxury amenities like ensuite marble bathrooms, sprawling sun decks, and gourmet galleys.
Absolutely. While we suggest a curated route based on the best hidden gems of the Aegean and Mediterranean, the beauty of a private charter is flexibility.
If you discover a secluded turquoise bay where you’d like to linger an extra day, or if you prefer a sunrise hike at an ancient ruin, your captain will adjust the sails to match your rhythm.
Our luxury charters maintain a high staff-to-guest ratio to ensure unobtrusive yet attentive service.
A typical crew includes an experienced Captain, a private Chef, and professional stewards.
From your morning espresso served on deck to organizing a private beach BBQ at sunset, our crew is there to anticipate your needs before you even voice them.
Gastronomy is at the heart of our Blue Cruises. Before you board, you will complete a preference sheet (dietary needs, favorite vintages, allergies).
Your private chef will then source the freshest local ingredients—from sun-ripened Mediterranean produce to daily-caught seafood—to create a bespoke menu that rivals Turkey’s finest restaurants, all served al fresco under the stars.
We understand the need to stay connected. Most of our luxury gulets are equipped with high-speed satellite Wi-Fi.
While there may be occasional "dead zones" in the most remote, untouched canyons, you will generally have seamless access to the digital world—though we suspect the views will keep you away from your screen.
Our vessels are equipped with an array of "toys" for your enjoyment. Depending on the specific gulet, this typically includes paddleboards, kayaks, snorkeling gear, and motorized tenders for water skiing or wakeboarding. We can also arrange for professional diving instructors or yoga masters to join you on board for a truly holistic retreat.
