Always keep your passport / ID card handy especially at the any entry port’s. Time zone in Turkey is Eastern European Time ( +2 GMT ). Major Credit Cards and Traveler’s checks are accepted in most cities of Turkey. But we suggest you to carry some cash with you anyway. You need no Passport for domestic flights in Turkey. Your ID card is enough to fly within Turkey territories. You will find in big cities and towns someone who speaks English, but not at an advance level. Visiting mosques in Turkey is possible but you have to leave your shoes at the entrance or carry them in your hands (you can but them in a plastic bag too). Women in most mosques are required to cover their heads with a scarf and naked parts of their legs and shoulders. If you don’t have it, they will give you one at the entrance for free. Silence is also required inside the mosques, it is suggested that you shouldn’t laugh loudly inside as this may offend people praying. Most of the mosques are closed to visits at pray times. Antique pieces are not allowed to be taken out of Turkey at all. This is an serious crime and you have to accept a heavy punishment for this, mostly imprisonment. Use and traffic of any kind of drugs is strictly illegal in Turkey. Smoking is not permitted in flights, public places and all buildings (restaurant, pub’s, night clubs). Although most of the Turkish people are friendly towards the tourist, some people especially Muslim fundamentalists may not be that way. In some of the museums you are not allowed to take pictures or use flash, before you go in just check if there is a sign with a camera crossed over, which means keep you camera in your hand bags, or check them in. Also, as a universal rule you are not permitted to touch any of the artifacts displayed. If you are visiting Turkey in the summer time (particularly July and August), you may need a sun hat and sun blocks cream to protect yourself against sun burning. Also people with sensitive skin should have something to cover their shoulders for the same reason. The currency in Turkey is Turkish Lira. You can change your money in your own country or you can do it here. To see the exchange rates (updated daily) please visit the Central Bank of Turkey . If you are visiting Turkey in winter time ( Nov, Dec, Jan, Feb, Mar), you will need warm clothes as the temperature may drop down as low as -15 C ( 5 F ) especially in the central eastern parts of Turkey. You also have to bring your umbrellas and raincoats or you can buy them for less then 30 Turkish Lira. Food matters, although the sanitation is taken seriously and strictly controlled at tourist places by the authorities, some rare instances of diarrhea have occurred, that’s partly because of the hot and spicy meals eaten, or the guests may have a sensitive stomach. So, have some medicine with you against stomach upsets and diarrhea. Those who are vegetarian will be able to find vegetable food or at least omelet which is very popular in Turkey, almost in every town. I would like to remind you that Turkish cuisine comes among the top three along with Chinese and french. If you are eating in a restaurant, waiters expect some tip usually 10% of your bill, and it is not included in your bill, you will have to leave it at the table separately. Most of the restaurants display their food in windows, or waiters can bring the samples if you request it. Also the menu that shows available food can be found at your table and in tourist areas in English as well. Water, although it is safe to drink tap water but it is recommended to buy bottled water for drinking which can be found almost at any store. Because the city water is chlorinated for sanitation reasons of which you mightn’t like the smell. You can safely brush your teeth or wash your face with the tap water. Electricity, those who use 110 V or any other than 220 V at home need a converter as Turkey has 220 V power system. Please check your electric appliances before you use them in your hotel room. All hotels in Turkey does not allowed guests to bring any food and drink into there rooms. but in most cases, this is tolerable. Personally, on my tours, I always arrange social parties in my room. All five star class hotels have pools and others class hotels have one too, you don’t need to take towels from your room to the pool as towels are available at the pool for free to the hotel customers. Before your departure please don’t forget to return your hotel room keys, as this will cost the friendly hotel receptionists a lot. Crossing the streets in big cities you have to beware, make sure that the car or whatever is at a reasonable distance to allow you cross the street safely. Because in Turkey cars have the privilege to use the streets. You can safely walk on the pedestrian walk ways. Some airline companies in Turkey require a final flight confirmation a few days before your departure flight. Please check it with your travel agent or call directly. Although there is no restriction on the sale and use of Alcohol which is available at most stores. But you should avoid drinking in public during the month Ramadan.

The more you can tell us about your interests, period, duration of travel, number of people participating, budget and even about your dreams, the better we will be able to guide you to the perfect choice. We personally inspect all the boats we offer and know the crew and itineraries very well. GULET TURKEY will try to find the perfect match for you. How do I book a Gulet Yacht? Please take some time to view the different choices available in our categories within any price range. But before you make a final decision, it’s often helpful to discuss your plans with us. Once you have decided which Gulet is the most suitable for you and which ports you wish to embark and disembark, the dates of your cruise we negotiate the scheduling with the Gulet owner. After that we will draw up the appropriate contract for you to sign. This is a legal contract and stipulates the responsibilities of the Owner to the Charterer and vice – versa. The conditions concerning the yacht’s readiness for sea and the financial agreements are itemized so that both parties understand their commitment. Typically, a fifty percent deposit is payable to our Client Account to confirm the booking and the balance fee due prior to embarkation. In certain cases, i.e. motor-yacht charters, your agreement will also include an advance provisioning allowance to the boat, and this is usually sent to us at the same time as the charter balance. The conditions are standard yacht charter practice throughout the world. What does the charter cost ? What are the different terms ? The charter rates will vary depending on the type, size of the vessel, its amenities and location in which you charter. Motor yachts generally quote their rates as a yacht charter fee “plus all expenses” known as Western Mediterranean Terms, WMT (i.e. fuel, dockage, food and beverages, taxes, customs fees and telephone charges, water-sports expenses are extra). Most motor-sailer and gulet chartering agreements are on “Gulet Terms” which not only includes the hire of the yacht but also the yacht’s insurance, crew wages, fuel and lubricants for an average of four hours cruising per day, ship’s laundry and general use of water. Excluded from the charter fee is food and beverages and Turkish VAT where applicable. Some yachts offer “all inclusive” pricing – which only excludes cost of alcoholic beverages. Eastern Mediterranean Terms (EMT) stipulate that apart from dinners, beverages and local taxes all other expenses are included in the charter fee. Do I need extra insurance ? Travel insurance is always recommended while traveling in case of unforeseen circumstances. Your charter agreement will detail insurance provisions onboard: the yacht remains insured by the owner during your charter, however it is recommend that you purchase additional liability coverage to protect you and your guests from any unforeseen mishap. What should I bring or pack ? Well this depends on which part of the world you are traveling. For the Eastern Mediterranean, you can bring bathing suit, shorts, non slip foot wear, T-shirts and comfortable sweaters for evenings. You might also like to have the option of more formal attire for elegant dining and evening wear. The crew appreciates soft luggage since on-board storage may be limited. Can I bring children under 12 years ? Yes of course, the most yachts are child-friendly, however the crew are busy with their assigned duties and usually are not at liberty to offer childcare service, hence a nanny might be appropriate in certain cases. Can I bring my pets ? Most yachts will not permit guests to bring pets on board in order to maintain rigid cleanliness standards. Please check with us prior to your arrival. How do I start the Cruise ? When you arrive at the nearest airport to your embarkation port, our staff can arrange for you to be met on arrival and escorted to your Gulet. Before you arrive, your captain will have received an information sheet giving the names and the approximate ages of your party, when, where and which flights you arrive on and also the details of any food, drink or special dietary requirements you may have, so that your yacht is fully stocked and you can commence your cruise with the minimum of fuss. What cuisine is served on the Cruise ?  Prior to embarkation, we will send you a food preference sheet for use in letting us know your favorite foods and beverages. Also, it is critical that we know about any allergies or serious aversions to certain substances in advance. Your personal chef will prepare the menu to meet your requests, and will usually provide a sample menu of the yacht’s cuisine. Chefs take great pride in their dishes and try to use the freshest ingredients available. One particular note : Turkish cuisine is said to be one of the three great cuisines of the world ! Who plans my itinerary ?Once your captain has received your “Preference Sheets”, he will be very happy to suggest an itinerary that suits your interests. However, you are free to change this route at any time, weather permitting, and provided that the charter contract is not violated.  Is smoking permitted on board ?  Smoking is rarely permitted inside the yachts due to fabric damage and lingering odours, however, most allow you to smoke on the outside deck areas. Substances that are illegal on land are also illegal on the yacht’s. Will my family and office be able to reach me on the cruise ?  Most yachts are equipped with some of the latest communications equipment including cellular phones, global satellite communications, radio telephones and internet access. Will my privacy be respected ?  Charter yachts are accustomed to entertaining prominent guests and celebrities onboard. The professional crew are discreet and will maintain a low profile waiting on you from the moment you board appearing when needed, disappearing when you want privacy. Confidentiality is an important part of the service we offer. How much do I tip the crew ?  A crew gratuity is both customary and discretionary. 5% – 10% of the base charter fee is usually the norm depending totally on your discretion. It is usually given to the captain at the end of the charter and divided equally among the crew members. What is special about Gulets ?  The singular design of the Gulets, Turkeys indigenous sea-going vessels, blends practicality and tradition in a relaxed style that embodies a “Blue Cruise”. A Gulet is a traditional Turkish style motor sailing yacht built for cruising ashore in the calm warm waters of the Mediterranean. These yachts are built to center life on deck during the charter. Spacious decks and housing a large aft for dining and lounging area are their main features. 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 six and twelve people. These vessels offer their passengers separate accommodations with ensuite facilities. Modern Gulets 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. Gulets used for cabin charter cruises give you the chance, unlike cruises on large ocean liners, to 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.         4 Star – Superior Class Gulets Gulet Sergul Sultan Length : 26 meters Cabins : 6 Double + 2 Twin Passengers : max. 16 Gulet Sergul Sultan Gulet Fatos Length : 25 meters Cabins : 8 Double Passengers : max. 16 Gulet Fatos Gulet Halilaga Length : 26 meters Cabins : 6 Double + 2 Twin Passengers : max. 16 Gulet Halilaga Gulet Meltem 6 Length : 26 meters Cabins : 8 Double Passengers : max. 16 Gulet Meltem 6 Gulet Gonul 6 Length : 24 meters Cabins : 1 Master + 6 Dbl Passengers : max. 12 Gulet Gonul 6 Gulet Sezerler A Length : 25 meters Cabins : 4 Double + 2 Twin Passengers : max. 12 Gulet Sezerler A Gulet Alcatraz 2000 Length : 20 meters Cabins : 6 Double Passengers : max. 12 Gulet Alcatraz 2000 Gulet Aliaga 1 Length : 22 meters Cabins : 6 Double Passengers : max. 12 Gulet Aliaga 1 Gulet Ariva 1 Length : 23 meters Cabins : 4 Double + 2 Twin Passengers : max. 12 Gulet Ariva 1 Gulet Golden Princess Length : 23 meters Cabins : 6 Double Passengers : max. 10/12 Gulet Golden Princess Gulet Imrenim Length : 20 meters Cabins : 4 Double + 2 Dbl/Sng Passengers : max. 12 Gulet Imrenim Gulet Yildizhanlar 2 Length : 25 meters Cabins : 1 Master + 3 Double + 2 Twin Passengers : max. 12 Gulet Yildizhanlar 2 Gulet Ayaz Length : 20,60 meters Cabins : 4 Double Passengers : max. 8 Gulet Ayaz Gulet Blue Diamond Length : 20 meters Cabins : 4 Double Passengers : max. 8 Gulet Blue Diamond Gulet Metrostar Length : 15 meters Cabins : 2 Double + 2 Twin Passengers : max. 8 Gulet Metrostar Gulet Aylin Mary Length : 17,50 meters Cabins : 3 Double Passengers : max. 6 Gulet Aylin Mary Gulet Cagselen Length : 17 meters Cabins : 1 Master + 2 Double Passengers : max. 6/7 Gulet Cagselen Gulet Selya Length : 17,50 meters Cabins : 1 Master + 2 Double Passengers : max. 6 Gulet Selya Gulets by Cabins 2-3 Cabin Gulets 4-5 Cabin Gulets 6-7 Cabin Gulets 8-9 Cabin Gulets 10 & more Cabin Gulets Gulets by Class Royal Class Gulets Deluxe Class Gulets Luxury Class Gulets Superior Class Gulets Standard Class Gulets Quick Links Gulet Fleet Gulet Categories Cabin Charters General Information Contact Us Sitemap Bodrum Forecast 35°C Feels like 35°C Clear
