WHAT IS A GULET?
Imagine wooden sailing boats thousands of years ago carrying cargos of wine and copper across the Aegean to trade with ancient civilization, or fishing boat earning a living from the Mediterranean teerning with fish. Such boats were built along the Aegean coast of Turkey and many of the skills and designs used then have been passed down to today's boat builders.
The Turkish gullet is very similar to the working boats of old times and, equipped with engines and modem facilities, they allow you to explore the beautiful Turkish coast in comfort and style and relive sprint an age long past.
Poseidon A gulets, from 33 meters long, are also very wide, so there is plenty of space below for large cabins and above for you to sunbathe, sit under the shade of a sun awning and eat outside comfortably around a dining table on the aft deck. 8-20 people can be accommodated in double cabins, all with private shower and wc. Even with up 20 guests the tanks provide plenty of water for hot showers. Still there is room for a fully equipped galley, where the cook prepares your meals from the freshest local produce.
What could be more romantic than cruising on a traditional wooden boat with all the sails up under blue cloudless skies? Holidays, are on a full board basis. Complimentary water is served at meat times and excellent bar service is also provided with competitive prices. Your Captain can at any time arrange water skiing, jet skis, rungoes even bananas and scuba diving (at an additional cost).
WHAT TO BRING
Travel light is our best advice to you, swim wear and tee shirts is all you will you need on board in the daytime. In the evenings people dress casually, but bring sweaters and trousers if you are coming in the cooler months to use on the boat. On board we provide hand and bath towels please bring your own beach towels. All this should be packed into a soft bag, not a suitcase, which can be folded and stowed away to give more room in your cabin.
The Mediterranean sun is very bright and on a moving boat hotter than you think, be sure to pack sunglasses, a good suntan lotion and a hat. If mosquitoes find you tasty then bring mosquito repellant and a camera is an absolute must. Small touches that our guests, feel as though they are on a floating, five star hotel. Specially selected stoneware plates, granite galley counters, creative dinner settings, oversized wine glasses, custom bathrobes, fine linens, a selection of music CDs and books complement the first class service provided by her highly experienced crew.
All the finishing touches that a 5 star hotel has to offer have been included in this design of a brand new gulet. These will ensure that you and your friends or family feel as though they are on a floating deluxe hotel. If relaxation, peace and tranquillity, quality and excellent service are what you have in mind then she is the gulet for you. Cruising the amazing Turkish coast line of the Mediterranean will give you the most wonderful memories any holiday could give.

Carnation Cruising built on 2003 in Fethiye, Turkey. First charter yacht 'Black Carnation' has been in daily, overnight and weekly trips on first season.
We bought 'Red Carnation' Yacht at the end of the successful season and start to 2004 blue cruise season with two yachts. 'Carnation Cruising' wish to be best of the blue cruising. We don't want to sell cabin. We expect family and friendly grubs for enjoyable and comfortable holidays with delicious Turkish foods.
If you hear about Turkey, you will also have information about Olüdeniz. Olüdeniz is one of the most beautiful lagoons in the world. Closed to the waves of the high seas, the water hardly stirs there. On the way to Olüdeniz, there are attractive districts covered with pine trees, at distance of 6 kilometers from Fethiye. One of them is Hisarönü. Hisarönü can be reached by road leading to the Olüdeniz to the right just after Ovacik. In Ovacik and Hisarönü there are numerous hotels, boarding houses and holiday villages. Hisarönü is an ideal spot for those seeking to spend holiday in nature among the pine trees, close to the sea.
WHAT IS A TURKISH GULET?
A gulet is a traditional handmade wooden boat equipped with masts. The most common gulets have 6 to 8 double cabins and so accommodate max.12 to 16 passengers. Unlike cruises on large ocean liners, on a gulet you can explore the secluded and often deserted bays, coves and islands of the spectacular Turkish coastline. You will see a hidden Turkey, beautiful beyond belief, and most of it completely unseen by the average tourist! During the day there are plenty of chances to swim and snorkel in the clear blue waters or explore the natural and historical sites along the way.
Features of a gulet include an interior salon/bar area and a fully equipped galley. All cabins have en-suite with hot and cold running water. There are 1 or 2 sundecks with comfortable sunbeds and a canopied aft deck with cushioned seating, freezers to keep drinks cold, and a CD/cassette player. The gulets come with facilities for outdoor and indoor dining. Also a dinghy with outboard, a ship-to-shore radio,mobile telephone and life jackets are on board. All the boats are government approved with fully qualified captains. No experience of boats is required. All you need to do is relax!
WHAT IS THE BLUE VOYAGE?
The Blue Voyage is the surest way to get rid of all of your blues, but that is not really how the name was coined... Originated in Bodrum in the late 1950's by groups of writers, painters, and others interested in natural beauty and historical sites, the Blue Voyage started in the Gulf of Gökova and later extended to include the more distant southern shores of Turkey.
