What to bring with you:
You are only going to want casual
wear; non slip foot wear, your
swimming gear, a sun hat, some T-shirts
and shorts, a sweater for cool
evenings and for excursions and
climbs blue jeans and strong
footwear. Instead of one large
suitcase, we recommend that you
take two smallish soft bags, as
they are far more convenient when
it comes to stowing them away in
your cabin. What else? Well, some
towels, a mini first aid kit
including antihistamine cream plus
toiletries. Soap is available upon
request and one hand towel each
plus bedding is provided. For the
gentlemen who don't want to grow a
holiday beard, a battery operated
razor and shaving soap. Please be
forewarned that electrical
appliances may only be connected
whilst the yacht is tied up to
land so have everything readily
recharged.
Security
With the safety and enjoyment she
offers, a gulet is the best
invitation to yachting. Anyone can
travel on a gulet. The crew is
accustomed to the sensitiveness of
the new passengers. The greatest
phobia of landlubbers, seasickness
comes to pass in a few hours even
at its worst. The blue voyage
consists of legs that keep the
yacht motoring or sailing for only
2 to 4 hours a day, from one
secure bay to another.
Your crew:
On a gulet, the crew is charged
with serving the passengers, as
well as running the yacht. Crews
usually consist of a Captain, Cook
and Seaman/Mechanic and on the
larger gulets a fourth crewmember
will be at your service. They are
very friendly permitting a relaxed
atmosphere but at the same time
extremely professional knowing the
coastal waters and their yachts
inside out. Due to their life on
the sea, the crewmembers are a
mind of information on the local
history and surroundings being
able to advise on the best places
to snorkel and anchor etc. Also
you can get some super tips from
the cook on local cuisine. Of
course they are all water sport
lovers and some even good divers.
The crew will be glad to help out
as far as their duties will permit
and are there to give you an
unforgettable Blue Voyage making
you want to return just as the
majority of our clients
