BLUE NOSE Gulet Cruises

What is a gulet? The singular design of the gulets, Turkey’s indigenous sea-going vessel, blends practicality and tradition in a relaxed style that embodies also a BLUE NOSE CRUISE. Over the years gulets have evolved from traditional crafts for fishing and transport into their present profile with a broad beam and wide deck.

Constructed mainly in shipyards in Bodrum, Bozburun, Marmaris and Istanbul and along the Black Sea Coast, the boats are equipped with motors as well as fully functional rigging. The number of passengers a gulet carries depends on the boat’s size, although most of them accommodate between eight and twelve people. These vessels offer their passengers separate accommodations and chartering one includes services and entertainment.

Modern gulets like BLUE NOSE are comfortably equipped with all of the amenities of home and encourage an environment in which you are expected to do nothing but enjoy yourself (all the cabins, for instance, are equipped with flat screen TV, DVD, mini-bar and air-conditioning). The closeness of the small group of people on board promotes an atmosphere of friendship and sharing; relations among passengers and crew tend to be relaxed and casual.

Unlike cruises on large ocean liners, on a gulet you can explore the secluded and often deserted bays and coves of the coastline. The small harbours and settlements offer an intimate view of coastal life which large ships cannot replicate authentically. In many ways a gulet is like a full-service hotel where every room has a sea view and the scenery changes constantly.

It’s just you, your family, your friends, or business partners - the people you want to be with. It’s your own floating villa, away from the crowd, according to your own itinerary. Live like a king on a comfortable modern yacht, with a crew eager to pamper you and your company.
