GULET SAILING HOLIDAYS

What travelers now call gulet cruises (also known as Blue Cruise/Blue Voyage) grew from 1920s trips taken by Turkish writers on traditional wooden boats a movement that sparked today’s love affair with sailing holidays in Turkey. Expect swims beside age-old ruins, the occasional dolphin riding your bow wave, long lazy lunches, and the option to do absolutely nothing at all.

Gulets are classic, motor-sailing yachts refitted for comfort, designed to cruise efficiently and anchor in shallow, sheltered bays. High summer fills fast, so book ahead.

Routes can shift with sea and weather so your captain can keep things safe and smooth. Boats used on regular turkey sail tours typically host up to 16 guests in 8 en-suite cabins, with or without air-conditioning depending on vessel class.
