Blue cruises are operated in the Aegean and Mediterranean coasts of Turkey, which is commonly known as Turkish Riviera or Turquoise Coast. The cruising season runs from early May through the end of October. The most pleasant yachting months are May, June and September, October.
Usually one or two nights stays are scheduled in the lively, bustling ports of Bodrum, Marmaris, Göçek or Fethiye depending on preferred itinerary. Away from these busy ports, many tiny islands, secluded bays and coves, sunken, mysterious ruins wait to be discovered.
The sea is strikingly crystalline turquoise and it is hard to resist diving in while watching different shoals of little fish swim deep beneath the boat
