THE CREW
There's no need for you to be an experienced yachtsman. You dont
need to know port from starboard in order to have an unforgettable
holiday on one of the yachts. Although of course you can always take a
turn at the wheel...
Your captain and crew
are experienced seafarers, usually local Turkish people, who know the
cruising grounds in and out and will share their knowledge and skill
with you. You can leave all the technicalities in the capable hands of
your skipper and your crew.
In addition to running the cruise safely and according to the itinerary,
they will try to assist and pamper you in every way, from suggesting
suitable anchorages and arranging shore excursions, to serving you
cocktails and three delicious meals a day. Having a meal under the
stars, whilst the sea is gently lapping the sides of the boat is an
experience not to be missed.
For anyone who enjoys a changing view each day and is prepared for the
many moods of Mother Nature, a holiday on a gulet is the perfect
medicine! Knowledge of English among your Turkish crew members varies.
You may like to take a small traveler's dictionary along with you for
the cruise. Besides being understood more easily, it is also a great way
of picking up a few words of Turkish and a way to get into the Turkish
culture a little more.
