Routes & Places to visit

Goulets are more suitable for cruising by motor, and rarely set sail. Cruising time is usually limited to 3 or 4 hours per day; except on from the Fethiye Gulf to Ekincik Bay on the Marmaris route, and between Gemiler Bay and Kalkan on the Kekova route.

Overnight, our boats anchor in scenic bays close to the shore and, occasionally, harbour towns. During a cruise, you'll have plenty of time to swim in the turquoise waters, to go shore by dinghy and tour ruins or stretch your legs in spectacular nature sports, or, if you're feeling energetic, plenty of water sports activities will sharpen your appetite for dinner.

As with everything on a goulet cruise, itineraries are designed to be fairly flexible. While the captain, who knows all the secrets of the coastline, follows a general route, he is always happy where possible to accommodate the special wish of the passengers. Due to unforeseen circumstances, weather conditions or the safety of his passengers/boat, itineraries may be changed by the captain.

TRADITIONAL GOULETS

A goulet is a traditional Turkish motor sailing yacht built for cruising off shore in the calm warm waters of the Mediterranean. Over the years goulets have evolved from traditional crafts for fishing and transportation into their present profile with a broad beam and wide deck. These yachts are ideally designed to centre life on deck with spacious decks and a large aft area used for dining and relaxing. 

Today's goulets are comfortably equipped with all of the amenities of home and encourage an environment in which you are expected to do nothing but lie back enjoy yourself. 

Goulets are 14 - 32 metre boats and have 3 - 10 cabins, with berths for up to 20 people. (The crew sleep and use the facilities in their separate quarters). Goulets have bar, lounge, music system, fishing lines, sun beds and canoes. Cabins have electricity and wc/shower.

In Goulets are available with, or without air-conditioning. The crew of 3 - 4 serve you on board as captain, cook and seaman and are true experts in extending to you the great Turkish tradition of hospitality...
