Blue cruise is a discovery of Turkey's Turquoise Coast on a yachting holiday unlike any other. Many exotic beaches and picturesque islands are difficult and sometimes impossible to access from land, and the only way to see their intimate sights is to go by sea.

Only the Blue Cruise will give you the chance to explore the numerous bays and coves between the ports of Kusadasi, Bodrum, Marmaris, Göçek, Fethiye and Antalya on Turkey's Aegean and southern coasts, presenting a varied cruising opportunity. Tranquil anchorages contrast with lively resorts, the bustle of the bazaar and the rich history of bleached ancient cities - all set against a landscape of breathtaking scenery. The intended route should be thought over still at home, because you should outline it in your chartering documents.

Meals on board are especially good and freshly prepared, including a variety of fresh salads, fruits, grilled meats, seafood, local fish and Turkish specialties

. Afternoon tea is served with biscuits or cakes. You have the option to include full board meals for your group at the time of booking.

Gulet

What is a gulet? A small sea craft. A refined version of a traditional fishing and cargo vessel used by fisherman and sponge divers to transport their catch. Romance enclosed: ravishing sunsets, splashes of sea-water and seagulls astern. A cabin to dry your hair and have a drink to get warm after the sunset. Just a pastime for skippers and skipperesses of fifteen! Is it? Nothing of the kind.

In the world of yachts watercrafts are clearly divided into castes, and the Gulets are the hand-made charter yachts. Their decks are equipped with many comforts: several bedrooms with en-suite toilets and showers, a saloon with fine wines and branded strong drinks, a dining area at the rear deck, and sun tanning area on the front deck. These are the yachts of comfort and relaxation. Aboard such a yacht one can go on a voyage, celebrate jubilees or just have a rest.

Building such a beauty usually costs quite a sum and lasts for several years

. That's why along with the new yachts the old ones keep on furrowing the seas. They get some renewal at the yards, with restoration of interior and other alterations.

Private Charter

From the moment you charter one of our yachts, the possibilities that lie open to you are endless. Your wish is our command and your destination your decision. You may be tempted to wake up in an exotic port or moored in an elegant harbor somewhere along the Turkish Riviera. You may prefer to seek the tranquillity of a hidden cove or enjoy an idyllic island all by yourself. Every day, you choose your own stunning backdrop and, wherever you decide to go, you'll travel in the peace, comfort and privacy of your own floating dream.

Swim, snorkel, windsurf, or kayak from your private gulet. You'd like shrimps or octopus in the dinner? It's yours, along with fish on the grill, at gulet's barbecue. Share this remarkable experience of Blue Voyage with your family or close friends. There are literally hundreds of classic and modern sailing yachts based in the Mediterranean coast of Turkey, but a quality of a yacht, chartered straight off in the port, will be probably the same as last-minute lodging in a private sector in comparison with five-star hotel - quite fit for living, but unattractive

The choice of yacht is only limited to your imagination, as is to some degree, to the choice of itinerary and your budget. When you hire a yacht, you are free to make up your itinerary as you go along. Your skipper acts as a valuable advisory source and can guide you to some of the area's lesser-known treasures. Blue Cruise Gulets accommodate 4 - 6 - 8 - 12 - 16 people. Hire your gulet, according to the size of your group and special desires.

In private charter crew services, passenger and vessel insurance, and harbor fees are included. It is possible to board or leave the yacht in Bodrum, Marmaris, Fethiye, Göçek, Kusadasi, or Antalya (Kemer) or nearby Greek ports. Custom cruises to special destinations. For these tours there is a selection of vessels for any budget.

Cabin Charter

Cabin charter is always an option if you cannot get a group of friends or family together or if this is your first sailing experience. Rota Yachting offers cruises on a shared- yacht basis for singles, couples and small groups
