The
very best Turkish gulet yacht
cruise is
when you assemble a congenial group
of
family
and/or
friends and charter an entire yacht
for a cruise of a few days or a week.
Your
group can be as small as four people,
or as large as 18. Turkey has a surprisingly
large number of yachts available
for charter in all sizes, from small
yachts suitable for one or two couples,
and fairly large yachts with only
four cabins, to quite large
yachts capable of sleeping 18 voyagers in
comfort.
The
cost per-person is surprisingly
affordable,
especially
in the earlier and later months
of the season.
I
must warn you that Turkish yacht
charter cruising is a very
popular vacation (for good
reason!), and in many years the best gulets are
reserved and fully booked
several months in advance.
You
should start your enquiries about
yacht chaters in January or February in order to assure that you'll
be able to get the sort of yacht
you
want, for the dates you want, at
the price you want.
During
the high-season months of June, July,
August and September, all of the
best yachts are chartered for at
least a full week (or two). Few good-quality
boats will normally agree to accept
a charter of three or four nights
during high season.
Short (3- or 4-night)
charters are possible in May,
October,
and November, but you must arrange
your charter well in advance in order
to
get the exact dates that you want,
on the yacht that you want.
To arrange your full yacht charter,
contact
one of my recommended
travel agencies. One agency
with particularly good connections
to good yachts is Travel Atelier. More...

Imagine
having all that space: this 34-meter
(112-foot) gulet yacht
has broad decks but only
four cabins sleeping
eight voyagers.
