The yachts we offer can be classified into 4 different categories: ‘Economy’, ‘Standard’, ‘Luxury’ and ‘de Luxe’ . Tour programs can be fixed but, upon demand, we can offer a route that suits the needs and the wishes of the customers.
2) Cabin charter: The standard yacht (typically a wooden traditional turkish gulet) is shared with other people. This a perfect way to meet and get to know people from around the globe, it’s a social event full of relaxation, sun and fun. Here too, the rental price includes a captain, a sailor and a cook. The routes and excursions are predefined, but there is some flexibility here as well.

The basic information we need is the required yacht, the number of passengers, the harbours to be entered and additional requests. In close collaboration with us we will then eventually come up with a proposal/program that reflects your wishes. In the case where a selected yacht is not available we will propose a similar yacht. In case the proposed yacht is not displayed on our website we will email detailed specifications and photos.
Together with the final reservation an advance payment of 50% of the total sum is requested. The remainder should be paid at the day of boarding.
Cabin Tours are tours in which different people with different nationalities join for the purpose of enjoying the same vacation. Therefore it is not possible to build a program that would meet every customers individual wishes. The program is merely made to satify the needs of the group as a whole.
The captain is responsible for the wellbeing and health of the guests onboard. For your own safey and to avoid conflicts between the guests, who originate from different countries, and to maintain a friendly and relaxed atmosphere for the duration of the tour; please read the yacht guidances carefully in order to warrant a relaxed and healthy trip for both body and soul.
We will do our utmost to make the trip a truly unforgettable experience!
