What is a cabin gulet charter with arya yachting

Our tours are made with our fleet of traditional Turkish wooden boats known as "Gulet". Generally, these boats have 6 cabins for 12 persons, but upon demand, boats with 4 cabins for up to 8 persons, and even 9 cabin boats for up to 18 persons maybe used. The boat's name will not be made available prior to the day of embarkation, as numbers will dictate which boat is best allocated.

We don’t charge for tea, coffee or water on our Cabin Charter programmes. Each guest is provided with a booklet in their own language about the specific sailing region, and a couple of land excursions are included in the price. When it comes to cabin charter tours, the general trend seems to be to lower the price and increase the number of participants. Obviously, this can have a negative impact on quality, and as we believe this detracts from the spirit of a Blue Cruise, we limit our cabin capacities.

Our Gulets generally motor from place to place, raising the sails only when the wind is favorable. Your captain will see to it that your cruise moves along at a good pace. He decides on departure times, excursion times and meal times according to the composition of the group, and weather conditions. The captain has the right to alter the itinerary when necessary.

Do not be surprised if you share your yacht with a number of different nationalities. Meal times will provide you with a good opportunity to get to know one another and you will find that strangers who share a love of the sea and an interest in nature and history quickly turn into friends.

The crew aboard our Gulets and yachts often do not have a foreign language mastered, but they almost always know enough 'everyday' phrases and are able to understand all requests.

On some routes, you may also participate in a "mini cruise" for three overnights. In this case, you will take part in half of the weekly program and pay 60 % of the weekly price. Please ask for availability.
