double cabins with ensuite toilette and shower. Sailing, snorkeling,
fishing, sunbathing are some of the activities on board. Breakfast,

The major route of a BLUE CRUISE is this itinerary into the gulf of
Gokova. This is where the whole idea of the Blue Cruise has started.
We suggest first time travelers to try this balance of small coves,
beautiful scenery and ancient ruins of the Cleopatra Island. Lots of
swims in secluded beautiful bays and no big harbours, (the Gökova
Gulf is a protected National resort) here are only 3-4 fishing
hamlets.

Cabin Charter -
general information
All tours which are offered here take place on Standard-Yachts, the
traditional Bodrum-built GULET.
All yachts are between 19 - 25 meters length,
these vessels
accommodate between 12 and 16 guests in 6 to 8 cabins.
The cabins have en-suite WC & handheld showers. (Hot & cold). There
is a music set, VHF Radiotelephone and a dinghy on each yacht, but
in general no air condition. Crew consists of a captain, cook and a
decks hand.
An exact
yacht’s name can not be available until 1 or 2 days before
departure, as numbers of bookings come in often late. This works
well over the years like a cooperative and we advice you to give us
your mobile phone that we stay in contact to give you captain's
number and boat name.
The crew aboard our Gulets and yachts often do not have a foreign
language mastered, but they almost always know a few ’every-day’
phrases and are able to understand almost all requests.
