Turkey & Greek Islands

Our fleet consists of 3 almost identical classic wooden ships (type gulets). On layout (cabin charter) or a private yacht you can book with us, from 5 people, up to a maximum of 22 people. The entire fleet can accommodate 56 people, for large groups.

The cabins

Apart from having a double bed most cabins have an additional third bunk bed, one yacht has 2 twin-bedded cabins as well. All cabins have a porthole opening/windows onto the sea allowing fresh air to enter your cabin at all times. Every cabin is equipped with the following items: towels, sheets, pillows, duvet (preseason and late season) and a wardrobe. All yachts have a 220 volt generator (and from 2015 sun panels!) or a transformer on board. No smoking below deck for obvious reasons.

Your bathroom

All beautiful wood panelled double cabins have an ensuite shower room with basin and loo (flush system), equipped with lights and electrical facilities for hair dryers and charges. The cabins and bathrooms will be cleaned by the crew daily.

Equipment on board

Our yachts carry a range of water sports equipment from a canoe, stand up paddle, a dinghy and snorkeling gear to fishing equipment. When you feel like diving, para sailing, jetski or water-skiing you can do so on request and at a moderate charge. All yachts carry a small selection of board games and books as well. We stock our yachts with additional toys during the kids’ cruises. All our yachts have airco-conditioning, GPS, music system, life vests and Wifi (details see chapter "Dates and Prices") on board.

Sailing with a maximum of....?

Taditionally built wooden gulets usually cruise with engine, but we sail whenever the wind is strong enough and if the wind direction fits ours, but never with winds exceeding 6 Beaufort (21-26 kts). The captain has the final responsibility and will make the final decision as to sail or not. It is all about the passengers’ safety in the end. When we do decide to go sailing the captain and crew are more than willing to show the more active passengers the ropes and involve you as much as you wish in sailing the yacht.

We never sail at open sea, but always along the coastline with its secluded bays and idyllic islands. Of course young children must wear life jackets at all times when sailing.

Our fleet

Our small fleet of wooden yachts of the same value are classic in design and character and have been built in Bodrum between 2001-2004. The wooden yachts (type gulets) vary in size and can accommodate between maximum 8 and maximum 22 people. Rigged as staysail schooners, with all sails up, their classic lines are a beautiful sight to see. Yachts we sail on are: Randa, Borina1, Laguna, Fatos (8 cabins) and Alcatraz (6 cabins).
