Crew
On your special gulet cruising, you won’t need to take care of anything. We choose a crew that is great with kids who will keep them busy all the time during your cruising. And in case your kids are quite young (+5 years old) and if you still worry, a babysitter or an animator can always be on board as well, if you like.
This way you will easily and with a peaceful mind even take an evening walk with your husband or wife. Enjoy with your husband/wife a glass of wine or delicious dinner somewhere far away from everything and everyone.
Food onboard
We all know what is the mother’s first concern with kids on vacation.
- What are they going to eat?
- Will the food be healthy?
- Are they going to eat at all?
On a luxury gulet cruising in Turkey, you can forget about all these questions. Our chefs know exactly what kids like and what they don’t like. Not to mention, that before you even step on your gulet they are already informed about all your preferences. About 8 weeks before your cruising, we start the food preparation process. We send you a Finalizing lab, which is some kind of online questionnaire.
In this Lab, we ask all about your ideas of a perfect cruise. You also explain to us about your food preferences. As:
- What you like/dislike
- What type of food your kids are fond of
- If you like more meat or fish dishes
- What type of snacks you like
- If any vegetarians or vegans on board
- If you like Halal or Kosher food….
Whatever you like, you express and we make it happen. So no worries about food onboard anymore. And the good part is you won’t even have to clean the dishes after. You just have to sit down and be served. The MasterChef onboard prepares the menu according to your preferences, attractive to eye, and taste. The kids will love it. They prepare a special kids’ menu, so you don’t have to worry about if they will like it or not. The ingredients they select are always fresh and local. Our ground food destination manager always gives special care to the ingredients and that everything is as it should be. Nothing is left by chance.
Activities
Here is the next important moment that can spoil our vacation. Kids that are bored.
We all know that feeling. When you are just about ready to grab your favorite book or have a favorite cocktail, your kids start to run around and complain about being bored. Well, taking a luxury gulet cruising in Turkey, you can forget about that scene.
The only thing that might happen there, is that they will fall down from exhaustion and fall asleep at 9.00 PM. And you can have the whole evening just for yourself. Kids will be amused at all times by amenities onboard, destinations and crew.
Amenities
Taking a Luxury gulet cruising in Turkey, amenities onboard are so many, that you might not have time to do everything. Kids enjoy the sailing experience. The gulet is a type of vessel not really made for sailing, but enough to show your kid what sailing means. The crew will be more than happy to spread the wings and teach them some basics to make them feel like a real captain feels on the boat.
You and your kids can try yourself in:
- fishing,
- surfing,
- kayaking,
- sup,
- ski jets or
- even scuba diving or subwing
If you will be lucky and catch a fish the chef will gladly prepare it for you and serve it for your dinner. You can even have a scuba diving instructor on board and really master this sport.
Itinerary
When cruising with kids the itinerary must be really chosen carefully. Apart from the food in your Finalizing lab, you express as well what you would like to see or experience on your luxury cruise in Turkey. According to our experiences, including the facts of the kids on board, we suggest the right route. It is important that the distance between destinations is short. Not much of a motor cruising.
When the gulet is cruising the kids usually watch a movie or play on your computer in a cabin. Therefore it can not last for too long. They can soon get bored and we don’t want this.
So as fast as possible the captain anchor the gulet in the nice bay and activities can begin:
- Swimming
- Snorkeling
- Jumping in the sea
- Driving to the beach for searching for beautiful pebbles and hidden gems
- Do other water sport activities
If you like we can organize some activities on the ground as well. If older kids, you can take a hiking or biking route, or sightseeing with your private guide. Usually, in the evening your gulet is moored close to the town.
So in the night, it is easily reachable for lazy strolling down the port or quiet evening with your husband/wife, while the crew takes care of your kids.
No itinerary is graved in stone. Each morning or night before, you check with your captain the next day itinerary. You like to stay in one bay a day more or you don’t like this one at all? You can always change it. Except when it is a matter of weather.
Then we don’t take any risk at all. If the captain decides it is too dangerous to go, we are always on his side. He knows his job and he knows it well.
Extra activities
You are short in time and still don’t want to miss a thing? Maybe you are interested in something more to see and you don’t want to miss it because the kids aren’t?
According to your interest, we can:
- Prepare a private tour among Turkish vineyards
- Organize visiting sightseeing or
- With a private jet, take you to Ephesus to show you the most famous archeological spots in Turkey. Where the house of Virgin Mary is and one of the most important ancient cities in Turkey
For one day while you will be fulfilling your curiosity for history, archeology, or taste buds, your kids will be safe on board with our crew, babysitter or animator. Would you like to learn how to cook and more about Turkish cuisine? We can bring an extra chef that can even the hardest teenagers motivate for cooking. Cooking is one of the funniest ways for family bonding.
Special nights and Turkish fairy tales
During your cruising, we organize some special night as well and spice up your family moments. Are you celebrating special occasions? Let us surprise you and make it even more memorable. We bring you, DJ on your gulet, and make a real disco night for you and your teenagers. Have fun with karaoke shows and express yourself with no limits.
Or prepare a theme night in a style of Turkish fairytale, where you will be taken back in some other era and in a world full of imagination. In a fairytale where good wins the bad and everybody lives happily ever after.
