The following is the holiday schedule for the Summer of 2021: A private charter yacht will take you on a blue voyage!

You've worked hard all year and deserve a relaxing summer vacation. You began to plan your vacation, you began to consider where to go, you began to look for hotels in the Mediterranean, and you began to consider whether or not to travel abroad, correct? Unfortunately, the Kovid 19 outbreak, which began in 2020 and lasted until 2021, has tied your hands. But don't be concerned! Now we'll tell you about a new vacation option for the summer of 2021: a blue cruise aboard a private charter yacht.

Isolated vacation choices with simply your family or loved ones are increasingly popular these days. Private yacht charter and Blue cruise trips in our country's idyllic bays, away from the throng, are undoubtedly among the first things that come to mind when it comes to isolated holiday possibilities. We examined the blue cruise or blue cruise tours for you and outlined the things you should do before chartering a private boat and sailing on the blue cruise.

1. Creating a Budget

When we think about blue cruises in Turkey, the first destinations that come to mind are Fethiye, Göcek, Marmaris, and, of course, Bodrum. Every year, thousands of local and foreign tourists are treated to wonderful blue cruise experiences in our lovely bays by these vacation locations' unique gulets. It is estimated that there are around 3000 commercial blue cruise gulets in these holiday paradises where the Mediterranean and the Aegean converge in our country's south-west. With their various cabin numbers, passenger capacity, and standards, these boats provide options for every budget. While organizing your blue cruise tour with your family or loved ones, you can look at the blue cruise ships in four distinct categories based on the number of persons in your group. The first category is known as the standard category, and these gulets provide relatively affordable gulet charter options due to their non-air-conditioned cabins. These gulets, which are especially suitable for young parties, can have a variety of cabins and passenger capacities. If you say you don't need air conditioning when you're alone with nature in these unique bays, instead of dreaming under millions of stars on the deck, then the regular gulet is just what you're searching for. When we look at the second category, these blue cruise boats, which are one class higher than the first and are dubbed standard plus, come to the fore again with their simplicity and the ability to operate air conditioning in all cabins. When renting an air-conditioned boat in Turkey, you should be aware that night usage of generator-powered boat air conditioners is prohibited by Turkish coastal safety rules. The following are two causes for this. The first is that unattended generators on wooden vessels at night represent a security risk. Another reason is noise pollution caused by generators that run all night. However, if you get up in the morning, spend time in the cabin, and take a shower in the evening, using an air conditioner for 5-6 hours, particularly in July and August, contributes a bit to your comfort. When we look at the third category, these gulets, also known as Comfort class boats, are the medium class boats, with large decks, larger sunbathing places, and relatively high crew numbers. The final category is luxury vessels. Luxury gulets have larger social areas than other options, as well as luxury and comfort at every stage, with cabins that are almost as wide as hotel rooms. Luxury gulets, to put it mildly, do not resemble 4-5 star hotel rooms. You can also look through our website for singles in the category you desire based on your budget and amount of people, or you can speak with one of our travel advisers for more information. Remember, regardless of category, the blue cruise boats will transport you to unique bays with no land access, meet with every hue of green and blue, and make you feel special. None of these options are available in other vacation options. When arranging your budget, keep in mind that check-in and check-out are on Saturdays during the blue cruise weeks. During the summer season, all gulets schedule their weekly blue voyages on Saturday arrival and Saturday departure. While you're looking over the calendar, you can schedule your blue cruise week to begin on Saturday. Blue Cruise trips, like all other tours and accommodations, have high and low season pricing. Although the air and water temperatures in May, June, the end of September, and October are ideal for a blue cruise, they provide more affordable blue cruise options because vacationers favour June, July, and August. Prices are at their highest in July and August, and this is not an exaggeration. When arranging your budget, keep the date in mind.

2. What type of yacht is best for us? 

There are four main yacht models available for a blue cruise vacation in Turkish waters, with changes in passenger capacity and comfort based on the boat type. Gulets are at the top of the list of boat kinds.

Gulets:

These two or three-masted completely wooden boats, peculiar to Turkey's southern coast, are known as floating hotels. For generations, talented craftsmen on our southwest coast have produced world-famous Turkish gulets. These gulets, which were originally used for transportation or fishing, were initially utilized for vacation on our coasts by our famous writers such as Halikasnas Balkçs, Azra Erhat, and Selahattin Eyüpolu in the early 1920s and have since become recognized as a popular holiday form all over the world. This writer and illustrator group coined the term "blue cruise" or "blue cruise" for the first time, and it eventually became the name of this holiday style. Blue Voyage is another book by Ezra Erhat. Gulets have larger cabins and living spaces than other options. All Gulets are chartered with a crew of one captain, one cook, and at least one service person. All of the labour on the boat is done for your comfort, and you only have to enjoy the gorgeous sea and sun for one week.

Motoryachts: When compared to gulets, motor yachts with high speeds and large internal volumes bring comfort to interior spaces and mix comfort and exhilaration in one body. Despite having a larger interior volume, motor yachts often have fewer passengers than gulets. Motorboats, like gulets, can be chartered with the crew and offer very luxurious and comfortable blue cruise experiences for groups of 6-8 people.

Sailboats: Sailboats are suitable boats for sea enthusiasts who enjoy the simplicity and possess the required permissions. It is mainly suitable for  2 to 6 people. The interior volumes of these boats are relatively modest. These boats are available for rent in Fethiye, Marmaris, and Bodrum, and cater to maritime and sailing aficionados.

Catamarans: Catamarans are a new type of boat that is made by the combining of two sailing boats. Catamarans, with greater living quarters, provide more comfortable navigation than other sailing boats, although it is worth noting that they are best suited for groups of 4 to 8 people. Due to the shortage of room, catamarans are also appropriate for sea lovers with a license, but not as a crew.

3. Which route is better for us?

Turkey has a plethora of blue cruise itineraries. Fethiye, Göcek, Marmaris, and Bodrum are the most popular holiday destinations among the beginning and terminating ports nowadays.
