GULET CHARTER
Gulet Charter offers an indulgent voyage across the Aegean and Mediterranean seas aboard a classically designed wooden schooner, complete with a seasoned crew to cater to your every need.
Emerging in popularity during the late 1960s, the term “Blue Voyage” was conceived by a group of intellectuals, including “The Fisherman of Halicarnassus,” a pseudonym for Cevat Sakir Kabaagacli. This visionary Turkish writer, renowned for his environmental advocacy, found himself exiled to Bodrum in 1925, a charming coastal town and the birthplace of Herodotus. Despite regaining his freedom, he remained captivated by the region’s allure and spent his remaining days there. Delving into the local way of life, he ventured on voyages aboard the traditional sponge divers’ sailing vessels, known as gulets. These voyages infused him with profound inspiration drawn from Bodrum’s natural beauty and rich culture. The term “Blue Voyage” entered Turkish literature in 1945 through Azra Erhat’s book, marking its official recognition.
While the Blue Cruise was initially relished aboard more modest, technology-free wooden vessels, today’s experience unfolds aboard state-of-the-art luxury gulets, combining modernity with maritime tradition.
GULET CHARTER EXPERIENCE
Originating along the Aegean and Mediterranean coastlines, the Blue Cruise has gracefully expanded its horizons, now encompassing the idyllic Greek Islands and Croatia’s picturesque shores. This maritime odyssey unfolds endless possibilities – a journey where ancient ruins accessible solely by sea intertwine with serene pine-fringed coves, deserted bays perfect for a refreshing swim, and open-air deck dining experiences that evoke a sense of sheer delight. Routes vary, ranging from leisurely jaunts encompassing a few secluded coves for relaxation to comprehensive explorations spanning weeks, navigating the entire Turkish Riviera or combining Turkish coasts with Greek island gems.
Embarking on a Blue Cruise invites a medley of pursuits, from engaging in water sports to embarking on tranquil forest walks on land, or immersing oneself in the tranquility of ancient settlements. Whatever your chosen activity, the embrace of this unique ecosystem is bound to leave an enduring positive impact, as testified by our dedicated clientele.
The Arcadia Yachting team stands ready to assist you in planning, fulfilling, and relishing your dream holiday aboard the perfectly suited gulet. In the words of Cevat Sakir Kabaagacli, “Instead of resting in peace somewhere else, come live in peace here.” Your journey awaits – a world of maritime wonder, culture, and natural splendor beckons.
UNDERSTANDING THE GULET
A gulet represents a traditional vessel design hailing from the southwestern coast of Turkey, notably crafted in the coastal towns of Bodrum and Marmaris. However, variations of this design can be encountered throughout the expanse of the eastern Mediterranean.

Contemporary gulets, some extending to an impressive 50 meters, boast an elegant profile, a capacious rear deck, well-appointed cabin layouts, and a comfortably low deck height. While typically propelled by motors, these vessels also possess the capability to harness the wind for sailing, although not all may possess this feature. In essence, they can be likened to floating hotels, uniquely offering a fresh vista each day along with an engaging sojourn.

On the other hand, luxury gulets enhance the experience with additional features like Jet skis, seabob, water skiing, and wakeboarding equipment.
