FIve Reasons Why CharterIng a Luxury Yacht In Turkey Is the Ideal HolIday ChoIce
2019-02-18Turkey offers coastal waters ranking among the cleanest in the world, heavenly pristine bays, a rich undersea heritage, and a food culture which creates some truly delicious seafood dishes. Turkey is without question a unique gem of a country. Each year, a wide variety of international visitors, and Turkish holidaymakers coming to the Aegean and Mediterranean coasts from all over the country, try new ways of experiencing its beautiful assets. No experience, however, can match that of renting a boat and setting off on a blue cruise to enjoy all these attractions while afloat. And why is that? Because:
All other alternatives inevitably mean having to communicate with a certain community, and you cannot bend the rules; whereas a yacht charter enables you to plan your holiday exactly as you wish. You choose your route, sleep in if you like without having to worry about missing breakfast, dive in the boundless blue depths, watch spellbinding orange and gold sunsets, and generally feel as free as a bird – or Pegasus – on the wing.
Aboard your luxurious yacht, you can discover unspoilt bays and swim in the crystal clear, still vital sea, enjoying them without any of the problems encountered on shared beaches.
On a private yacht cruise, you can explore uninhabited islands with unique varieties of mushrooms and other plants. Who knows – perhaps even discover a new species and have it named after you!
The rest of the year there are always other people to contend with; we spend our lives meeting demands or trying to express our own to others. Why should you have to engage in yet more obligatory communication during your break?
Affordable Cruising
Thinking that chartering a gulet for a marvellous blue cruise is bound to be out of their price range, many do not even consider this alternative. However, this is a completely false impression. Although providing the same level of comfort as many five-star holiday villages, these cruises are much more affordable than a holiday in such a place.

Bodrum Gulets from Past to Present
2019-02-11The story of gulets - the special soul mates of those who love the sea - goes back to ancient times. Encountering these sailboats which seem to have sprung from some enchanted legend, one can't help falling under their spell and dreaming of getting to know them better. The name gulet has the same root as the French "goélette" and the Italian "goletta", and going further back, stems from "galliot" ( a two-masted Dutch trading ship) and "galleon".
From Pirates to the Aristocracy: Gulet
Gulets can be traced back to the Carian period. These boats with two sails were used by pirates in particular. They were used as workboats in the 19th and 20th centuries, while today, in the hands of Bodrum's skillfull craftsmen, they have become luxury blue cruise yachts, and are increasingly in demand all over the world as homes for people who can only be truly free at sea. In their new incarnation, these wind-powered sponge diving, fishing and cargo boats of old are now equipped with modern technology, cabins with every comfort and spacious sun decks; and are renowned for how they perfectly complement the Aegean bays they frequent - the two making a charming picture together. Today's gulets make blue cruises even more enjoyable.
Bodrum’s Legendary Gulet Builders
If you were to journey back in time to 1964 and visit the harbours of Bodrum, you might be surprised not to find any sailboats resembling the gulets of today. In the green area next to the marina which is now used as parking space, you will find the former boatyard of those days, containing mainly ruined old sponge and fishing boats, their prows decorated with fish or bird symbols. On Meyhane (Tavern) street today, unfortunately you will no longer find any of the small mechanical workshops which used to fill the street. If you could have watched the carpenters and master craftsmen in the boatyards, one would have particularly impressed you with his skill - Ziya Güvendiren or "Ziya Usta". Beginning as a village carpenter and later turning to boatbuilding, this pleasant man has produced many boats, trained the craftsmen of today, and generally gained much for Bodrum.
Ziya Usta trained under Mehmet Uyav, known as “Nami'nin Mehmet”. Mehmet Usta had a very interesting life, and is known for building the gulet “Ege Gülü” (Aegean Rose) in 1958, the first of her kind built in the area. Today's renowned master boatbuilders “Fenerci (Lighthouse Keeper) Mehmet” also called Mehmet Usta of Güllük, and Çolak Erol (Erol Ağan), were apprenticed to Ziya Usta. Çolak Erol founded the shipyard area in İçmeler, and his Bodrum gulets are works of art; unique and spirited, as if from the hands of an ancient Greek sculptor.
The Influence of the Female Form on Gulet Building
The techniques developed by Ziya Usta are still employed. Today's masters all agree that building gulets is a matter of inspiration. Let's conclude with the words of esteemed gulet builder Çolak Erol, “My place was where Yetti Gari is today. I used to sit at the cafe opposite and watch the attractive tourist women go by. I drew inspiration from them when designing the kıç ( meaning "buttocks/rear end", and also "stern") of gulets. And frankly, no one can build those gulet butts quite like I can.”

KIND COMMENTS FROM OUR GUESTS ...
2018-06-11Dear Mr. Huseyin Kirkan,
Sorry for my delayed answer. I come back to Switzerland only today.
I would like to thank you for a very good organization of our stay aboard of Cobra King. Indeed we've lived a fantastic week of relaxing holidays. We've visited places with nice nature and beautiful sea, which was exactly a purpose of our cruise on board of your ship. All our requests were perfectly satisfied, we needed or missed nothing while the entire stay. You have managed to well understand our needs and requests in a sense of itinerary and supply during the week of cruise. I find amounts we've spent in all to be correct and respectful.
I would like to send special thanks to the team of Cobra king who was around at every moment of our presence on the yacht.
I must emphasis efficiency and professionalism of each member of crew, being on a technical side of our voyage or our service . The crew people are fast, responsive, positive, friendly and very useful. At the same time they manage to be discrete and polite. Believe me , those qualities are very rare to be found in today's service.
The Captain manages his team with a high professionalism and without any visible stress. We've felt ourselves secure, relaxed and surrounded by great care and attention. I appreciated a lot a friendly attitude and special attention paid to our smaller kids.
One of the strongest emotions we had during the week on Cobra King - is a culinary emotion. The Chief of the boat is more than professional person, he is an artist. He is the best ambassador of Turkish food vis a vis international guests. We've never eaten before that much and with that great pleasure as we've done while staying aboard.
We' ll be pleased to meet you and the team of Cobra King again in the nearest future.
And one more time, thank you a lot for your professional support of our holidays.
With my best regards
Yulia
