All drinks are available on board at the bar or from the crew at any time and we ask our guests to maintain an honesty system. The bar bill must be settled prior to disembarkation. Customary tips to the crew who look after you for the whole week are left to your generosity. All flights, additional baggage charges, passport and visa costs.

Transfers to and from airports are not included. However, we can arrange transfers to and from the Turkish airport to your Gulet for a reasonable extra charge. We can advise you of the price when we know how many people are in your party and whether you prefer to travel by car, minibus or coach.

Definitely bring suncream, sunglasses and camera! Life on the boat is generally informal and you'll need nothing more than a couple of swimsuits, shorts and tshirts. If you intend to visit mosques or churches then you mustn't wear short sleeves or shorts and ladies will need to cover their hair. Please don't bring suitcases, they are difficult to store on a boat.

If your Gulet leaves Marmaris you should fly to Dalaman airport which is around 1.5 hours away. Alternatively, you can fly to Bodrum airport which is around 3 hours by coach. If your Gulet leaves Fethiye you should fly to Dalaman airport which is around 1 hour away.

We will be happy to arrange this for you. Once we know your flight schedules and number of people in your party we can let you know the price by car, minibus or coach.

Usually British, US and European citizens need an entry visa which can be purchased on arrival at the airport. But please check latest news with your airline.

April, May and October temperatures range between 20 and 26 degrees centrigade, so remember to bring a light sweater or fleecie for the cooler evenings. July and August are the hottest months with temperatures reaching 35 degrees. It is not humid and you are unlikely to see rain in the midst of summer.

Most turkish businesses will take British Pounds, US dollars and Euros in cash or travellers cheques. You can easily change these currencies into Turkish lire at any of the currency exchange offices. Although cash points are commonplace especially in larger towns.

We would highly recommend you sleep at least one night under the stars. You can take your bedding from your cabin. But beware there is a fairlyy heavy early morning dew.

Not at all, just let the Captain know at the start of your cruise. Turkish food is varied with some fabulous salads and vegetable dishes, cracked wheat and rice mean you won't get bored.For those of you who like fish, you'll have a real treat!

Turkish food is generally subtly flavoured with herbs and spices, so you shouldn't have a problem at all. Equally, if you like some extra heat just let the Captain know!

The choice is yours, but you should understand what this means on a Gulet as this isn't explained by most operators.

Some boats will have air-conditioning systems and people assume this means it's available in the Cabins and Salon at anytime of day or night. On a boat, the a/c can only run when the generator is on, or in a harbour when connected to 220volts. Usually you will anchor overnight in a small bay, often next to a neighbour who doesn't like the noise of your generator and you probably wouldn't like the noise during the night either.

So most of the Captains have come to a gentleman's agreement not to disturb each other. A/c will be used on most of the boats for a maximum of 2 or 3 hours in the evening to cool down the Cabins in the hot summer months.
