We have small gulets for small groups. This family of four left a lovely thank you in the Visitors book on board ARIVA. Captain Gürsel and his crew always take great care of their guests.

''We have had a dream week!!'' That's what our guests said just now when they left gulet OGUZ BEY. They definitely want to come back next year and so many thanks to Captain Ümit and his crew. If a 'dream week' sounds appealing send us an email and we could make your dream come true too!

It's such a pleasure when our gulet guests arrive without a hitch and full of smiles. Not only did Melisa bring them from the airport on time but they proved to be model guests with carry-on bags only - after all on a gulet holiday in Turkey all you really need is a swimsuit, shorts and a couple of tee shirts. They couldn't wait to get on OGUZ BEY and literally raced up the gangplank. With loads of space and plenty of water toys their group of 14 are going to have a great week on board and they'll absolutely love the inflatable pool!

It just seems to get hotter and hotter and in Göcek on Saturday it was very humid too when we arrived to meet our guests on luxury gulet KAPTAN YILMAZ 3. Saturday turnarounds are always hectic so Mustafa and Kaan helped carry provisions on board while Melisa looked after the guests and took them shopping for wine. Göcek marina has a new buggy so they didn't have to walk in the heat and were very grateful for the yacht's excellent air conditioning system.

FACELIFT FOR SUNWORLD 8

Every year our gulets spend time in the Bodrum shipyard for routine maintenance but this winter SUNWORLD 8 underwent quite a transformation and is looking fabulous. This classic private charter gulet is absolutely perfect for large groups of friends, or families with children. The separate entrance to the 4 forward cabins makes kids feel they have their very own boat while parents can relax in the 4 aft double cabins. Brand new teak decks, a new mainsail and a refurbishment of all 8 bathrooms are just a few of the improvements that have lifted the standard of SUNWORLD 8 to a whole new level of style and comfort.

YOUNG OR OLD A GULET CRUISE CAN BE FOR YOU

We’re often asked if a gulet charter is suitable for older people, those with mobility difficulties or for very young children. The answer is ‘YES ABSOLUTELY!’ as Saturday’s departing guests can testify. On luxury yacht KAYA GUNERI IV five little kids had a fantastic time. Safety nets around the deck rails and the watchful crew allowed parents to relax. For the smallest we provided a baby cot and a high chair. Meanwhile over on BODRUM QUEEN four guests were over 80 and have already booked again for next year. Our crews and our office staff go out of their way to lend a hand or a steady shoulder on and off the gangplank or up and down a step. We even have a wheelchair guest coming soon and we’ll be offering every assistance to make sure they have a safe, secure and amazing time on board. Photos : Kim Gould

WHAT OUR GULET GUESTS GET UP TO!
We meet them at the beginning of their charter and say goodbye at the end but what fun and games they get up to in between is often a mystery. A couple this week are due to get married in Spain but that didn't stop their pre-wedding ceremonial shenanigans on BODRUM QUEEN. The belly dancer bride and Egyptian groom were joined together by their very own bishop with a Contessa, as maid of honour, in tow. Captain Enver made a rousing speech to much applause and laughter. They're having such a great time they already want to book BODRUM QUEEN and crew for next year.

The weekend passed in a hectic blur with guests departing and plenty arriving in both Bodrum and Göcek. All were met at the airport by our SJ Travel & Yachting staff and welcomed on board by smart crew members. Each table was laden with a wonderful display of snacks and canapes and our guests immediately relaxed after a hot and tiring journey. We're sure they'll all have a fantastic week cruising Turkey's incredible Blue Voyage route.

HOW WE PROVISION YOUR GULET - 2. Buying the wine.
It goes without saying that the vast majority of our guests are keen to sample Turkish wines along with the fresh and varied food our gulet chefs skillfully produce. Our wines have improved vastly over recent years and there’s now a great choice of varieties from many regions of the country. We buy wine for each charter according to your wishes and deliver it to your gulet well before you arrive. When you step aboard a glass of perfectly chilled white or rose awaits, or red at the optimum temperature if you prefer. Just one more reason why a gulet charter in Turkey is completely stress free.

A Saturday flight delay and holiday traffic meant that our guests arrived in the late afternoon. Mustafa took 10 happy young women to 6 cabin ARIVA I and Melisa delivered a small group of friends to luxury gulet SMYRNA. Our crews are always so welcoming, offering snacks and drinks, they have a special way of making guests feel at home right from the start of their charter.

We always personally meet our guests at the airport. Here's Mustafa, he's just picked up his group and is on the way to deliver them to their gulet.

GOOD MORNING from Bodrum! It's 0700 and there's a balmy breeze, the town and the gulets are sleeping but a group of our guests have just left early for the airport. In about an hour the harbour will be a hive of activity, as crews wave goodbye to last week's holiday makers against a chorus of trundling suitcase wheels. Beds will be stripped, laundry collected, boats washed, fuel and provisions will arrive, water tanks replenished, cabins cleaned. It's a race against time when new guests are due to arrive mid-afternoon. Somehow we always manage, even when the temperatures soar - with over 30 years of busy Saturdays under our belt we've had plenty of time to fine tune our operation.

HOW WE PROVISION YOUR GULET - 1. Talk to the chef.
Every gulet chef has their particular specialities so we always try to talk to them in person. Today that meant a dinghy ride across Bodrum harbour to where BODRUM QUEEN is anchored. Mustafa and Chef Tuncay together made the shopping list for our upcoming charter based on our guests' preferences and special requests.

It's touching 40 degrees C in Bodrum today but at least there's a breeze. Melisa and Mustafa give a quick briefing to our newly arrived guests on FERAYE, very soon they'll be out in a bay having their first swim.

PRAISE FOR GULET OALIS & CREW
On this gorgeous last day of May our guests from South Africa, UK and The Netherlands reluctantly left their 3 cabin gulet OALIS. They had an amazing time, praised the crew and the excellent food and vowed to return. Thanks to Captain Türgay, Cook Fatih and Seaman Yiğit.

The craftsmanship of Bodrum gulet builders is unquestionably superb. 4 cabin luxury GOZDEM THE ONE is getting ready for its second year of charter. Our guests last year were certainly over the moon with everything about this outstanding addition to our fleet. [email protected]

It's a clear, balmy evening in Bodrum and our guests have just arrived on board their gulet TUFAN 5. Mustafa is giving them a brief introduction to the boat and the crew. Before long they will ease out of the harbour and cruise to a nearby bay for their first dinner under the stars. What an idyllic start to their holiday! Photo by Kaan Tunçer.
