Turkish Gulet charter which is also known as Turkish Blue Cruise, is probably the best way of enjoying the magical south west Turkish coastline. The Blue Cruise started when renowned political Turkish writer "Cevat Sakir" was exiled to the remote village of Bodrum (ancient Halicarnassus). Little did his judges know that he was going to enjoy himself more than anyone could imagine. Mr. Sakir started sailing with the local Fishermen on their Gulets, discovering the local bays coves and natural gems of the Gokova gulf. He even adopted the name of "The fisherman of Halicarnassus" writing many stories about the life style and natural beauty of the fishermen and the area. When High society friends of Mr. Sakir came to visit him from Istanbul he would take them sailing with him and thus the Turkish Blue Cruise was born. Today, the Turkish Blue Cruise may have developed somewhat, but it stays true to the essence intended by the Fisherman of Halicarnassus. The week or two you take to discover the coastline aboard a Gulet Cruise in Turkey is almost certain to be one of the most enjoyable, stress-free and memorable vacations of your life. If in early days Mr. Sakir and his friends settled for just Watermelons, nowadays, wining and dining is one of the most colorful and fun aspects of the days and nights aboard a Turkish Gulet. The sea, however, never changes and the Turquoise Blue waters of Turkey offer great opportunities for swimming, fishing, water sports and even sailing if you like. Days on the blue cruise can feel timeless and wonderfully separate from what is going on elsewhere. It is just you and your party in your own private floating world, enjoying the simple but unbeatable natural beauty of sea, sky, sun, and an incredible coastal landscape. The traditional luxury of the Gulet itself, spacious in both deck and cabins, the finest local produce served to you daily, and a meticulous crew, life on board is easy to get used to. Your blue cruise can be as active as you like; from swimming in the crystal clear turquoise waters, snorkeling and diving, to relaxing on deck with a book, savoring the next delicious meal and spending time with your party. Photographers, historians, sailors, writers or just plain old tourists, the young and old alike, will all find true inspiration on board a blue cruise in Turkey.
