What's so special about

With this kind of holiday in Turkey we would like to introduce you to a unique experience known as the Blue Cruise. The Blue Cruise is the term used to describe taking a yacht on the Aegean and Mediterranean on a traditional wooden, handmade Turkish boat called a "goulett." You may chose between hiring your own goulett with your friends or rent a cabin on a yacht and make some new friends. You may choose the number of meals you want to have prepared each day as well as the routes of your cruise.

The Blue Cruise is the ultimate vacation as you sail along the beautiful coast of Turkey while getting way from routines and exploring the many coves. It is a great option to add on to any tour for a few days to a week. Yachts have cabins with private bathrooms and showers with hot water, full galleys, and all have additional water sports equipment. Some are air-conditioned. You will be surprised at how reasonably priced the Blue Cruises are.

Yachts have cabins with private bathrooms and showers with hot water, full galleys, and all have additional water sports equipment.You can spend all of your time on board of the gulet if you like. The captain and the crew are continuously at your disposal in an effort to provide you with all your needs. The cook pampers you during the whole voyage with specialties and samples of the delicious Turkish cuisine, of which you surely will be a fan at the end of the voyage. The delicate Turkish wine and ‘raki’ (national alcoholic drink) contribute to this delight.

Dining is generally outdoors around a large table on the aft deck although there is a separate dining area in the main saloon. A sun awning provides shade and there is ample space for for everyone on the cushioned sun decks.

The closeness of the small group of people on board promotes an atmosphere of friendship and sharing; relations among passengers and crew tend to be relaxed and casual. meetundersails can arrange charters and fixed tours for a specific group of people or for you individually. Unlike cruises on large ocean liners, on a gulet you can explore the secluded and often deserted bays and coves of the coastline.

Whether it is a tour specially designed for singles or a private charter tour, Blue Cruise is always a fascinating experience. If you are on a private tour you can shape your course of voyage as you wish before booking.

Usually the daily duration of cruisingis not longer than 3-4 hours, and the rest of the day can be spent in gorgeous cove enjoying the sun and the sea. Sunbathing on the deck, swimming in clear waters, snorkeling, windsurfing, water-skiing or just fishing...

Or anchoring in a cove and trekking in the wild nature, visiting a nearby village and coming closer to the native people and their traditions or visiting one of the numerous ancient sites. Here, in the midst of the idyll, you can feel the touch of nature and history.

Turkey is a fascinating and friendly country where you can soak up the history of ancient civilizations, savour the atmosphere of market towns and villages with as much time as you can take in the sun. Whether on land or sea the scenery is spectacular. The Mediterranean and Aegean areas are still surprisingly unspoilt along the coast from Bodrum to around Olympos in the south east. Our boats will sail (winds permitting) or motor along your chosen route. There are a variety of itineraries to follow depending on your taste.

DayDreams is a small British company with over 13 years experience as boat charter specialists along the Turkish coastline. The company, which was established in 1988, also operates a programme of schooner parties - floating houseparties for the single traveller, couples and friends, along the Aegean and Mediterranean coast. A variety of itineraries are included in this programme (see following pages for more details). DayDreams has a comprehensive list of traditional wood gulets and schooners of various sizes suitable for groups of two to fourteen whether families, friends or corporate entertaining.

The Turkish Mediterranean and Aegean coastlines are outstandingly beautiful and still unspoilt. The Gokova and Hisaranu Gulfs provide many magical surprises with numerous deserted bays and coves. The Lycian coastline is a must for anyone interested in archaeology and ancient history with some marvellous sites accessible from towns and villages en route. The clear turquoise sea is wonderful for snorkelling, swimming and watersports. The simple pleasures of slipping over the side of your boat for a swim before breakfast, contemplating the fantastic night skies from the bow, or listening to the early morning sounds of village life, make this one of the world's most magical holidays.

Just imagine a week aboard one of these beautiful boats combined with an adventurous 5 to 7 days exploring inland. Now that really is a fantastic holiday. We can plan any combination to suit you (see our combine land and sea page.)

Doch nicht nur in den heißen Saisonmonaten, genauer gesagt von Mai bis Oktober, läßt es sich vor den Küsten um Bodrum und Marmaris herrlich segeln. Reizvoll ist es auch, in einer der stillen Buchten vor Anker zu gehen, um eine kleine Wanderung zu machen. Häufig trifft man dabei auf Nomaden, die mit ihren Ziegen- oder Schafherden durchs Land ziehen.
Dann an lauen Abenden ein exquisites Essen an Bord einer Gulet zu genießen, ist nicht nur für Romantische ein Muß. Bei Mondschein und einem guten Glas Wein wiegt das Schiff sanft im Rhythmus des Meeres.
Ein würdiges Ausklingen eines traumhaften Urlaubstages.
