FAQs: Cruising

 

We offer a wide range of gulets for private charter (please see our Gulet Charters page for additional details and photographs). On our scheduled group trips we usually use gulets with the following characteristics:

Boat (gulet): 90 foot long, traditionally handcrafted gulet, 8-cabin capacity (16 people), each cabin has a bathroom ensuite. Large decks for sleeping. Canvas covered areas for shade. Large table for dining. There's a ladder to board on the dingy boat or to climb back to the boat.

Crew on the boat: captain, first mate, engineer and cook.

Guides: We provide professionally licensed guides for charter trips for our guests who request guided tours. We personally lead our scheduled sea-kayaking departures.

Sleeping situation on the boat: although the cabins are very comfortable most people prefer to sleep on the deck under the stars. Sheets, blankets, and pillows are provided on the boat.

Bathrooms on the boat: each cabin has a private bathroom with a western flush toilet and a marine shower (hand held showerhead). There will be hot fresh water available 24 hours a day.

Sample meals on the gulet:

Breakfast: fruit, yogurt, olives, feta cheese, sheep cheese, tomatoes, French toast, omelets, fresh bread, coffee, tea, milk, cereal, fruit etc.

Lunch: a vegetable dish such as sautéed green beans, eggplant cooked with tomato sauce, pasta or rice, salad, yogurt, fresh bread, fruit.

Dinner: some appetizers such as yogurt dip, hummus etc. The main dish will be barbecued, roasted or sautéed chicken or beef with pasta or rice or potato salad, tomato or green salad, dessert or fruit. Tea or coffee is served after the meals.

Drinks on the boat: On the boat the soft drinks and alcoholic beverages are sold at a reasonable price at the bar. You'll sign a bar tab every time you get drinks and then at the end of the trip you'll pay in cash.
