MAIN ROUTE


Start from ORHANIYE


Right at the mouth of Hisaronu gulf lies Orhaniye. This beautiful area is also famed for its great sailing with plenty of sunshine, good winds and welcoming waves.

Visitors can walk on the sandy bar in calf deep water, giving the illusion of walking on water. Orhaniye is just 20 minutes from thriving Marmaris, perfect for a lively night. This cosmopolitan town has numerous bars, restaurants and shops and can occupy even the most active minds. The Old Quarter still retaining it's traditional charm, is a honeycomb of narrow streets adorned with leather, carpet and jewellery shops. Sailing from Orhaniye allows to you explore the best sailing areas that these Turkish waters have has to offer.


SELIMIYE


Selimiye in the Hisaronu Gulf is one of the most beautiful bays and an authenic fishing village. Natural beauty and historic ruins of the village are important. Early in the year if you walk through the village you will experience the beautiful smell of almond trees in blossom. Later in the year the mimoza and orange blossom takes the place of almonds. Famous for it's restaurants - it's not surprising that perhaps the most fresh and delicious fish is eaten in the fishing village of Selimiye.


BOZBURUN.

Opposite the Greek island of Symi, Bozburun is located in a sheltered harbour, a charming seaside town with a population of 2500-3000 has a range of shops for those requiring a little retail therapy.

As well as tourism Bozburun is famous for the construction of the traditional Turkish sailing boats - gulets.

Bozburun very suitable for sailing all year round, and sailors are attracted to this small town. Also Bozburun, is suitable place for diving because of the natural structure of the coast, where the water very clean and clear.


LORYMA- Bozukkale

A particular highlight of this bay is the climb up to the castle ruins, Buzukkale, when translated means 'broken castle'. Because of the closeness to Rhodes the castle of Bozukkale was of great importance in ancient times as a naval base protecting ships transporting goods around the coast.


SYMI-Greece

Symi ( also transliterated Syme or Symi, (Turkish Sombeki;) is a small but historic Greek island. Geographically, it is part of the Dodecanese island chain, located about 41 km from Rhodes (and 425 km from Piraeus, the port of Athens), with 57 sq km (22 sq m) of mountainous terrain. Its interior is dotted with small valleys, and its coastline alternates between rocky cliffs and sandy coves.

Its main town, located on the northeast coast, is also named Symi, and the island has around 2,500 inhabitants, mostly engaged in fishing, trade, and tourism. In addition to its many historical sites, the island's isolated beaches, many reachable only with small boats, are popular with tourists.

In Greek mythology, Symi is reputed to be the birthplace of the Three Graces, and it takes its name from Poseidon's wife, the nymph Syme.

DATCA

Datca offers a sailor all they could ask for after anchoring for a few days in quiet bays. Restaurants a plenty, carpet shops, souvenir shops all the hussle and bussle of a lively sea port.

KNIDOS

For many people Knidos cape is the real border between the Aegean and the Mediterranean Seas. A settlement since 400 BC because of its strategic location, Knidos was one of the most famous commercial towns of ancient times. The ruins of the theatre, temples and other sacred sites can be viewed from the bay or it's surely worth the short walk to roam amongst the ruins for yourself.

A-Z of Life on board

This page will tell you just about everything you could want to know about life on board one of our boats. If you can't find what you are looking for, go to the contact page and ask us.
Anybody who has had experience will agree that a blue cruise is always an adventure. You have to reckon with the forces of nature and battle with the elements. Once in a while there are inconveniences that can't be foreseen, the best attitude is to take things as they come and see what happens!
We can arrange transfers to and from the airport if you give us 15 days notice prior to your charter. If you prefer to arrange your own transfers we can provide directions to the harbour and boat.
All Gullets are alike on the outside, but the fitting up on upper and lower decks can be very different. On the front deck, there are sun beds, in the middle there is a steering cabin and on the back there is a table with comfortable seats. The front is covered with a removable tent and the back is covered with a fixed tent. Downstairs in the middle there are cabins (each for two people), the kitchen and the crews cabin.
Swimming suits and comfortable clothing. You don't need to fill your bags with stylish clothes, T-shirts can quickly be washed and dry quickly in the sun and the wind. During the summer it would be good to take a sweater with you for the evenings. In April, May, September and October it can be somewhat cooler, you had also better bring something in case of rain.
All simple comforts are available. In each cabin you will find a double bed, shower (hot/cold water), toilet, electrical outlets (12V - 24V - 220V), coolers, television (can be used only in marinas), radio / cassette player, round games and binoculars.
All Boats are hired with crew. The crew will consist of two or three people who are the captain, the sailor-cook and sometimes a deckhand. Passengers do not need any experience with handling the boat at all. Most of the crew speak English; some can speak French and German. Normally the crew will stay discretely in the background, but they are always available for a chat or sociable evening, glass of wine etc. Every need will be met and they will ensure that your cruise is as pleasurable as possible.
A word that sounds like music, for people who have sailed before it means much more. Life on board can't be compared with life in a hotel, it's a wonderful experience to live day and night like a miracle of nature on the Turkish coast.
Boats are obliged to take precautions: Fire extinguishers, a lifeboat, life-jackets and emergency VHF (radio) are all provided.
There are lots of areas where diving is prohibited, that's why a guide is needed. We can arrange daily diving programs upon request. Snorkeling is a matter of interest.
Don't forget to reconfirm your flight two days before departure.
The minimum period of hire is one week. For people who are new to living on a boat, one week makes a good introduction.
You can make excursions whenever and wherever you want, in agreement with the captain. The captain can arrange transport and will be able to provide information about the possibilities, distance, prices etc.
On board simple fishing equipment can found (for amateurs). If you want to use more advanced equipment, you will have to bring your own or hire it. In the evenings the crew can lay a net. It's always intriguing to see what has been caught in the morning.
Book charter flights like 'Flight only' or 'air camping' in a travel agency.
If you decide to book a full board cruise, all meals are included. This does not mean you can't try a restaurant ashore when the boat is moored in a marina (not included in the price). Turkish cuisine is very good, all meals prepared on board are common Turkish dishes, the cook deserves full credit. There is no danger of diarrhoea. The water, as well as the food can be trusted. Until now neither guests nor crew have had any problems.
There can be mosquitoes and bees. It is advised that you bring relevant repellants or medication.
There is no need to bring these with you.
The Turkish language is very different from European languages. You don't need to study it, most Turkish people in touristic areas can speak European languages. It's always pleasant for the crew if you know a few words in Turkish:
    Good morning : günaydŭn
    Good night : iyi geceler
    Thank you : teŝekkür ederim
    Please : lütfen
    Yes : evet
    No : hayŭr
Living together with a group of people in relatively small space, such as a boat, is not always easy. Respecting each other and having a social attitude, is very important.
Do not bring hard cover luggage with you. There is not a great deal of space in the cabins. There is a small wardrobe, some space under the bed, and a cupboard in the shower / toilet.
There are many small marinas along the coast: Antalya, Ka, Göcek, Fethiye, Datça. The most important ones are Bodrum and Marmaris. Most gulets start their trip from one of these cities. Along the route it is not always possible to moor in a village or town, the distances are often too large. It can be very pleasent to lay in a secluded bay.
Turkish currency can be bought in your country, or at the airport in when you arrive. However you will get the best exchange rate in change offices in town. Euro-cheques and traveller-cheques can be exchanged easily.
Mooring in quiet bays or in a marina both have their advantages and disadvantages. Mooring in a bay means feeling at one with nature, without distractions. You can often take lovely walks on the shore. The night is dark and quiet. Mooring in a village or town gives other advantages; you can try the restaurants, do some shopping, etc. The disadvantages are that you can't go swimming and it is often noisy.
Boats have capacities related to the number of cabins. It is not necessary to be with a group of the maximum size. People sometimes prefer to be in a smaller group.
While never as beautiful as in reality, these are essential to preserve memories.
    Pay attention: the seawater can damage expensive cameras.
    Very useful: underwater cameras (disposable) to take pictures under water.
It is very important to use products which protect you sufficiently against the sun, be very careful on the first few days. The combination of sun, wind, and seawater can be very dangerous.
It is always useful to have a book or a magazine to read. You'll have lots of time to relax.
Experienced ones know better that the crew on board is also always 100% correct and reliable. There is never any danger of indecent assault or/ and theft.
The moment you hire a boat, you can negotiate over the route taken. If you enjoy spectacular natural surroundings, the route Bodrum-Marmaris-Fethiye is best. From Fethiye to Antalya the habbitat is monotonous, dry and very hot during the summer. However you can find a lot of unexplored ruins in this area. The route taken will also depend on other bookings of the boat. It is impossible to start your cruise in Bodrum, when the last passengers left the boat in Antalya.
All precautions must be taken. The captain will never take a risk when the weather is not good. The captain takes the utmost care for his boat and that is why he may not agree to some (dangerous) wishes of his passengers. Sometimes the boat must sail out very early to avoid strong winds. The crew have experience with local weather conditions.
The boats can sail if there is enough wind. The crew have experience with the coastline, sea and the wind in this area. You can ask to sail, the captain will make a decision based on the conditions at that time. Your safety must come first.
The boats do not sail in the open sea very often. The route will normally follow the coastline. The sea can be rough if there is a lot of wind so if you are prone to becoming sea sick, you should bring medicaion just in case.
It is important to bring sports shoes or sandals with you. If you decide to take a swim to land, you will need some protection against sharp rocks and hedgehogs. No shoes are worn onboard, this is to avoid damaging the deck.
In all marinas there will be some kind of market. The most interesting towns for shopping: Marmaris, Bodrum, Antalya, Fethiye and Ka. You will find the same types of goods in all of these areas, generally: jewels, carpets, copper, onyx, leather and so on.
Whether you lay in your cabin or on deck, the motion of the sea will gently rock you to sleep. On deck, it's a wonderful experiance to wake up with the sun.
Around the boat: Swimming and snorkeling, surfing, fishing (There is simple fishing equipment on board), sailing (Our boats are motor-sailors). On several beaches almost all water sports can be found and all equiptment can be rented.
Are the most important ingredients of a Gulet cruise
Being able to swim is not necessary to take a cruise. But if you want to enjoy the snorkeling, surfing, water-skiing etc; it is best that you can.
There is a board radio on board for emergencey use. The boats also have a mobile phone, so you can always reach someone or be reached (If you want to be).
The Turkish coast has a very pleasant climate. You can cruise from April until the end of October. During the summer (from June to the end of September) it can get very hot. Living on boat has a big advantage. The heat is never so hard to bear as on land and there is always a pleasant breeze.
It's normal to give a tip to the crew once the trip has finished. It is the same for the drivers when you make a journey in a car. You should decide for yourself how much to give.
You will find a towel and a set of bed linen in your cabin. But you should bring a few large towels with you, which are useful for sun bathing and after swimming.
The most important thing for our boats and their crew is that you feel welcome, relaxed and that you enjoy your holiday.
Passengers don't have to do anything on board; the crew do it all. This does not mean that you can not help cooking, sailing... when YOU want to.

Day 1
We arrange a punctual transfer from Dalaman airport to Orhaniye. This will take approximately 2 hours. Along the Turkish landscape, you travel between mountains and valleys. As your flight was already tiring, we pass, but we do not visit Marmaris now and we drive straight to Orhaniye : an oasis of nature and a perfect spot to relax . We will be there to give you a warm welcome on board and show you your accommodation. Orhaniye, the place where we grew up, is situated in a beautiful green bay with an island in the middle. And, THE local specialty : you can walk on the water here.
 
After breakfast, we sail to Selimiye, a village frozen in time, located in a secluded bay. From this point, we can arrange a minibus-trip to the waterfalls : even in the middle of the summer you can enjoy the freshness of the water and the beauty of the trees. On your way back, there is a carpet shop you can visit : the owners give the best explanation about their carpets : history-way of weaving-patterns-origin a.s.o. Even you can try yourself to do it. And, of course, you can buy the carpet of your choice (without obligations) Arriving at Selimiye, you can walk around or swim in the very clean and transparent water. We sail to a quiet bay for the night. After dinner and one or more drinks you can sleep according to your preference : under the protection of a million stars or safely in your cabin.
 
For some days : no spectacular visits or hot points, “only” the magnificence of nature. You will never forget the coves, the islands, the colours of the sea, the peace and the silence you will experience. You will live in another (better) world. The only activities are : swimming, snorkelling, fishing, walking, relishing, discovering or, just blissful doing nothing. Depending your preference, we can call on at Bozborun or Datça – both small marinas with possibility for small shopping.
 
We arrive at Marmaris. This feels somewhat vivacious after the preceding days, but, a lot of possibilities are open here : shopping (everything is available) – Turkish bath – disco’s – restaurants & café’s – a walk along the marina- a visit to the ancient castle a.s.o. A mix of tourism and Turkish hospitality.
 
Departure from Marmaris, and we sail till Ekincik bay. The smell of the pine trees is dominating the area. If you wish, we can call a river boat to pick you up for following visits : Caunos : ruins from the Lycian period (400 BC), with a splendid view on the swamps and the sea. Navigating through the marches you will discover the graves from kings and queens hewed out in the rocks high in the mountains. Dalyan : a walk in a cosy, small town. After this visit the skipper will guide you to a place nearby where your skin can enjoy the healing mud baths in the middle of nature. Carretta Carretta : a sandy beach well known because of the turtles with the same name.
 
Sorry, you will have to leave us, but please remember : you will always be welcome again !
Güle güle !

From here we can charter a minibus to bring you to Thlos, an ancient site and to Saklikent, a canyon with nearby the “hidden paradise”. No problem if nobody wants to make the excursion : the neighbourhood has so many beautiful inlets, we can sail from one to another.
 
Early in the morning we leave for Ölüdeniz. Each one of you must have seen a postcard showing this splendid blue lagoon. As it is so beautiful, it is very touristic too. That is the reason of the early visit. After a swim or a climb on the mountain (unforgettable view) we head for the island Gemiler : you can make a walk and visit the ancient Byzantine remains. Another possibility : we can moor in a bay close to the ghost-city of Kayaköy : the brave ones can climb up to the mountain and feel the atmosphere of a town left by the people and frozen in time.
 
Maybe it will be possible to do some real sailing today, but this will depend the wind, of course. We’ll find a wonderful bay to lunch. A siesta (let’s be lazy !) and we go on direction Kalkan. Before we reach Kalkan, we will moor in a quiet bay to enjoy the evening and the night,;
 
Straight to Kalkan. Here you can have a good shopping-walk-swim, or there is a possibility for another excursion.
We can charter a minibus to visit : Letoon : a sacred place in the old days. Remains of 3 temples, one of them is in honour of Leto –Zeus‘ beloved. Xanthos : Once, the largest city in Lycian times Patara : famous because of the oracle, and the place of birth of St Nicholas. The theatre is half covered by the sand - After this we go direction Kas.
 
In the morning, we discover the beauty of this small town. Once it was a fisherman village. Restaurants – shopping – we can advise you a local (perfect & cheap) barber shop – you will meet a well preserved sarcophagus in the Centrum. Before evening we will have to return journey. So we will moor somewhere on the way back in a quiet inlet.
 
We start early another time – no problem, you can stay in bed if you like – and we head for Fethiye bay. On the way we’ll find another cove to have lunch, and, according to your departure time, we will have to arrive or at Göçek, or at a bay nearby.
 
Sorry, you will have to leave us, but please remember : you will always be welcome again !
Güle güle !
