Which yachts are used for Blue Cruises?
The cruising yacht is traditional wooden Gullets, built in the South Western Aegean region. Their size may be 17-30 meters, with 4-10 cabin capacities. With its roomy deck at the stern, this traditional boat is perfect for passengers to savor the delights of cruising the inlets and coves. The word derives from the Italian ‘Giulietta’.
The early history of this sailing boat remains largely unknown, apart from the fact that building these boats in Turkey is a tradition unique to Bodrum, although the gulet itself is suitable for sailing in all seas.
The type of wood used for building the boats can be pine, mulberry, or mahogany.

How do we spend time on the yacht?
During the day, we cruise for a few hours and sail if the wind allows. Closer to lunch or dinner, we approach the land and drop anchor in a solitary bay, alongside a small village or off an island. At every stop, and there will be at least two per day, there is the opportunity to swim, fish, snorkel, windsurf, sunbathe, take a trip ashore or just read under the shade of the sun awning. The accent is on relaxation and recreation.
