Discover your own untouched paradise with a boat charter! 🏝️ Book in advance and save 💡 More availability and better prices! Experiencing the most beautiful sea route in Turkey on a traditional Turkish gulet is the greatest privilege of a boat charter. Aegean Blue Cruise provides an opportunity for valued guests to see the best bays of the Aegean and Mediterranean coasts, and natural islands and to swim in the clear blue sea. Experiencing the Aegean coast by car is never the same as navigating through and around it. Whilst in the car you see a limited number of places, however, on a boat, you can visit very special places throughout the coastline and places that offer natural beauty and history. Enjoy the blue landscape, immerse yourself in the turquoise waters, watch the sunset, and practice water sports. Aegean Blue Cruise offers a special holiday option where you can have all these moments and experiences while enjoying yacht life. On the gulet, the captain and his crew welcome you and brief you on the boat, equipment, and safety. While onboard, it is important to bring the necessary and sufficient items. Marine clothing, goggles, hats, sun creams, and rubber-soled shoes are a priority. Proper footwear for visiting seaside towns and bays, the right clothing for cool nights, and a camera for memorable moments are essential. The cabins have been carefully decorated and equipped so guests can sleep comfortably. These areas should be used and left very tidy. Bathrooms must be left clean, the rubbish must be thrown into the containers. Hygiene on the boat is guaranteed by the crew. At Aegean Blue Cruise, water use is very important. Although there is enough water in the reservoirs, proper use goes a long way. Breakfast, lunch, and dinner are prepared according to your requirements previously agreed upon at the time of booking and all are freshly prepared. Spend your time onboard relaxing, swimming, or having fun practicing your favorite water sports. We have Sea scooters, towable Ringo, paddle boards, and canoes for customer use with an extra fee.

We had an AMAZING time on board the Aegean Blue Cruise boat. We had 3 of us on board for one week sailing the Gulf of Gokova with Tank, chef Jay and captain Shandy. We arrived to a beautiful platter and home made lemonade. The crew were amazing, super friendly and we got to know them all as friends. The places we visited were amazingly beautiful with crystal clear water and the crew were flexible if we wanted to stay in one place longer for swimming etc. The food was delicious and included traditional Turkish cuisine as well as classic meals which were always fresh and tasty. We absolutely loved our trip and will definitely be back when we can! Also note- check out their direct website to save on fees
We had a great trip on this boat! The boat is very comfortable and has all the amenities you would expect. The crew was extremely nice and helpful and left the boat to us as much as possible. The food they cooked was very good, great Mediterranean cuisine. We weren’t aware that the food costs extra but that you have no choice but to take it. In the end the price is still good though and we really enjoyed our time and would go again.
Unfortunately our experience left much to be desired. The boat was well priced, but we were overcharged for extras excessively so felt like we were constantly being nickeled and dimmed. Not the feeling you’re looking for while on vacation. We booked the boat for 3 days/3 nights in August 2023. When we reserved months earlier, they told us we could bring our own food but not drinks, and that drinks would be "reasonably” priced. We agreed. However, a month before the trip, they informed us we had two options for food: paying €65/person-day for meals or paying €65/person-day to bring our own food for them to cook. This means they charged €65 regardless, even though the reservation stated service was included. To avoid conflict, we accepted. Upon arrival, we were allowed to bring some outside liquor but not water or other drinks. We were therefore forced to buy tiny bottles of water during the entire trip - this just felt wrong, both for our wallets and the environment. Each water bottle was €1.50, somewhat pricey but reasonable if it was a normal size. This was not the case, each bottle was tiny, 20cl, so everyone had to buy 15 euros worth of these tiny bottles each day to stay hydrated. This just felt wrong, especially considering water isn’t a luxury but a basic human right needed to stay alive - we wouldn’t have mind being gouged for beers or cokes but the tiny bottles of water was too much. Meanwhile the crew on the boat had multiple 5 gallon jugs of water on board. They said this wasn’t enough for us but several were full bottles were left at the end of the trip. In spite of multiple requests to at least serve us water with meals none was made available to us. Additionally, since the boat includes fuel, they try to optimize its use, resulting in a limited route with mostly motor, there weren’t even sails on the boat. As a positive note, the boat is well-maintained and offers many optional extras (paddle boards, kayaks...). Regarding the crew, some individuals are friendlier than others. In conclusion, we wouldn't recommend it. We’ve spent many summers renting boats, and I believe it's worth paying a bit more for another boat that allows you to bring your own food and drinks - at a minimum water!
