Gulet Holidays from Gumbet Bodrum

The Gulets do not welcome children under the age of 12 due to safety reasons. Gulets are larger wooden motorsailers, which are a “balanced blend between Turkey’s indigenous sea-going vessel and 20th century naval architecture.” Most gulets have excellent water sports platforms with windsurfer, fishing equipment, a canoe and snorkelling equipment on board for your pleasure. Life on board usually involves 2-3 hours cruising along the coastline coupled with an anchor in one of the many bays of the Mediterranean. Here you can relax on deck, explore Turkey’ s many idyll Islands and panoramic bays or enjoy the delights of water sports.

The meals on board are suprisingly good, consisting of a variety of fresh salads, fruits, grilled meats, occasional fish and Turkish specialities. Meal times will depend upon cruising schedules and the wishes off all on board.

Dinner on the aft deck is usually the highlight of the day; a long leisurely meal sitting under the stars listening to the water lapping at the hull of the gulet. To the rear of the gulet is the lounge / dining area; and at the front is the sundeck, furnished with sunbeds, where you can sit with a long refreshing drink and concentrate on developing your tan.

The Blue Cruise, Day 1 Welcome on board Day 2 Bodrum – Karaada – Catı Day 3 Seven Island – Kufre Day 4 Longoz – Karacasogut Day 5 Cleopatra Island – English Harbour Day 6 Tuzla – Cokertme Day 7 Ortaklar – Ciftlik – Bodrum Day 8 Transfer to Airport This cruise is perfect if you love to do nothing apart from take in the surroundings and maybe go for a swim.

You only get off at one port on this cruise, so if you like shopping then this one isn’t for you.

The Aegean Cruise, Day 1 Welcome on board Day 2 Bodrum – Kos Day 3 Kos – Simi Day 4 Simi – Datça Day 5 Datça – Palamut Day 6 Palamut – Knidos Day 7 Knidos – Bodrum Day 8 Transfer to Airport This one is perfect for people who love to shop and explore.

As you can see you go to Greece for two days. Towards the end of the week, you also get to stop in a couple of bays, so you get the best of both worlds. The season is usually from about March to October, this means that you should get quite good weather all season.All in all, I love this type of holiday. It gets you away from the rush of life, but still gives you all the modern luxuries.. 01/01/09 Artcile source is from Holidays Reviews

What is Gulet

for a relaxed vacation at the Turkish coast. The typical Gulet is a two-mast ship with gaff sails and several head sails. Usually the term is taken one more step ahead: a gulet is more or less everything, what is made from wood, has one or two masts and is rigged as sloop, ketch and schooner. Recently also three and even four-masted ships are left to water and are being called Gulets. The large place at and under deck is characteristic. The cabins are nearly as largely as a modern hotel room, all have their own bath with shower and WC and on deck, where the life in the summer takes place, many sun mattresses and couch corners with or without sun protection are available. In the last years the trend to more comfort – with air condition, ice maker, micro-vave etc.- and good service became generally accepted.
