Blue Cruise 2007

YACHTING PARADISE

TURKEY
          The Mediterranean, Aegean and the Black Seas, as well as the Sea of Marmara, surround Turkey to the north, west and south. With over 8333 kilometers of coastline and four seas, Turkey is a treasure-chest of coves, inlets, bays and beaches from which yachtsmen can choose a different and always private anchorage each night.          

The sailing paradise of Turkey is home to the Blue Voyage. This idyllic cruise means sailing with the winds, into coves and over the seas and becoming one with nature. It is also an experience of the history of man from the perspective of the sea rather than from the land, a journey which carries you to the private beach of Cleopatra, the eternal fires of Mt. Olympos and the myriad archaeological remains of ancient civilizations. For lovers of the active life, sailing in the clear waters provides great opportunities for swimming, fishing, skiing, surfing and diving.


Sailing in Turkey also allows you to experience a truly enriching cultural exchange with the hospitable and gracious people of the coastal villages and towns. The tempered winds which generally blow from the west and northwest make the long summers ideal for yachting, and seem to encourage an appreciation of nature. From some of the turquoise coast's unspoilt and sheltered bays you can see mountain peaks rising to almost 3000 metres above sea level.

Fortunately, Turkey's modem facilities and comfort have not shadowedher ancient hospitality and slower pace of life. The pleasure of yachting in Turkey will tempt you back again and again, to explore yet another stretch of coast and to relieve the luxurious ease of life on the sea.

ANATOMY/PICTURES OF YOUR YACHTS (GULET)
The form of the gulet has been moulded with tradition with 20" century classic naval architecture. The name derives from the French goélette meaning schooner, but today's boats are usually rigged as ketches. Lengths of these Yachts vary from 18 m to 25 m. There is a forward deck, ideal for sunbathing and at the rear a generous afterdeck. Belowdecks, the accommodations are comfortable. There are 6 to 8 cabins with double beds and ensuite WC's and shower. The beauty of the "Gulet" lies not in its shape nor in its speed (10 knots at best), but in the leisured freedom it grants.
