Yasmin arranged a family holiday for 15 on Larin Su. Many said it was the best holiday they had had. Boat great, food excellent. The Captain took us to beautiful secluded bays. Even the 11 year old wa... See more

Incredible gulet holiday

We had a fabulous week aboard Prenses Funda in Turkey last summer! The boat, crew and food were amazing and of course the scenery was spectacular! Huge thank you to Blue Cruise for all your help in organising our trip and to Captain Necati and his wonderful crew for such a brilliant and memorable holiday.

Every thing that was promised happened…

Every thing that was promised happened - transfers (very punctual) - lovely food 3 times a day and something we didn't expect - afternoon tea!! with freshly made cake! our cook was amazing what he managed to produce each day from his galley was incredible - including fresh bread made on board!

The whole crew - including Captain Omar were just great - nothing was too much touble. They helped us at every turn - getting us ashore by rib when we saw something that interested us on nearby islands - helping us into the sea to try out the various 'toys' they had on board - even water skiing!

Oh and our cabins were spacious and brill

Blue Cruise were great leading up to our wonderful experience - they organised flights and a wonderful hotel for pre and post our gulet experience.

All in all we got more than we expected.

Fabulous Gulet experience

We chartered the Lycian Queen for a week at the end of September 2023 - and had an absolutely amazing holiday, cruising between Gocek, Dalian and Fethiye. Blue Cruise were very responsive to our numerous queries and requests before the trip started and had set up the gulet with everything we asked for before we boarded. We were given a great welcome and briefing by Dawn. Captain Omar, and chef Ali were great: very pleasant to deal with, and again so accommodating; and the crew were delightful. The food was so good, that we ended up cancelling restaurant bookings because we all preferred to eat Ali's food...... We enjoyed all our stops - so a really well thought out itinerary; the boat is so well equipped with toys that we were never short of entertainment; and the cabins all very comfortable and beautifully kept.

Freedom and relaxation on the Lycian Coastline

This was our first Gulet cruise and we hugely enjoyed ourselves. Captain Ali and his crew looked after us well. He knew all the quiet places along the coastline for us to spend the night; if it was too busy or not enough cool breeze then he'd move elsewhere. It was our first visit to Turkey but certainly not our last!

My 3rd wonderful cruise with them

My third cruise with this company. Different boat, same high standard. So relaxing, so laid back but so luxurious. The crew are fantastic. The cabins are gorgeous (a bit warm at night sometimes) Such a joyous week. Oh, the food and the sea and the sunsets and so lovely to sleep under the stars some nights.

Perfect Holiday

We had a fabulous holiday this is the second time we have used Blue Cruise and they were top class. The Berrak Su Gullet was an absolutely brilliant gullet and Captain Yusuf and the staff were all so lovely and treated us superbly. The food was like staying in a 5 star hotel - fresh and fabulous. All of us (10) said we will definitely back for a 3rd time!! Well done everyone.

The perfect relaxing holiday

We had the perfect relaxing holiday on Princess Lila. The Gulet was beautiful and very comfortable. The crew could not have been more helpful and friendly and brought anything we needed. They kept the boat immaculate. Each day we were asked where we wanted to go and what we wanted to do, and offered different options. The food was lovely and varied and there was always plenty of it. The scenery was lovely. This was my second time with this company and I certainly hope to be back again.

The most relaxing and enriching holiday ever

We have just come back from one of the most relaxing and enriching holidays ever. From the second we stepped onto Prenses Lila, we were treated like royalty. Our first encounter with the other guests was over a table laden with delicious food, and we immediately bonded. Dawn from the Blue Cruise Turkish office handled everything flawlessly, and Captain Ali and the crew were truly exceptional. They worked seamlessly together and made us feel completely at ease throughout our trip. I can't wait to return with my family so they can enjoy this wonderful experience too.

Wow another fantastic holiday with Blue Cruise

Wow another fantastic holiday with Blue Cruise. This is our 3rd gulet holiday and this time we did a private charter with 16 friends and family on Babavelli 7.
Ash and Yasmin are so knowledgeable and nothing is to much trouble. Our gulet was fabulous, the crew couldn’t do enough for us, well done to Captain Yousif and his crew especially his wife Fatima the chef, who served us the most incredible meals everyday. We relaxed, partied harder and had the best holiday ever and don’t want to leave at the end. Thank you to you all.

Faultless Family Holiday

Just returned from our trip as a party of 14 on a private charter. Faultless in every way from the initial booking all the way through to return transfer.
1. Booking process handled by knowledgeable, friendly staff
2. Transfers arranged with good quality mini bus
3. Gulet was perfect, even better than our expectations.
4. Excellent, attentive crew for who nothing was too much trouble and were happy to amend the itinerary to suit our needs.
5. Food onboard was exceptional, Chef Ali was amazing.
Will definitely be returning.
Highly recommended.

Gulet Cruising Made Extra Special by Blue Cruise

Blue Cruise team were extremely helpful from start to finish in organising our trip on the Lycian Queen. Our main contacts in London were Ash and Yasmin. The trip planned for May 2022 had to be unfortunately and sadly postponed by a whole year to May 2023 but what an amazing experience it has been...
We were a group of 14 good friends and started our cruise along the Turquoise coastline from Fethiye and returned to the same. The skipper Capt Omer, Chef Ali, Firat, Ozzie, Kemal and AliJan all went the extra mile in looking after us and ensuring our every need was catered for in making sure we each had a holiday, never to be forgotten!
The Lycian Queen is simply amazingly luxurious and fully equipped to allow you to do whatever pleases you from simply chilling, sunbathing on the multitude of loungers in the sun and shade, swimming, snorkelling, kayaking etc etc.
The accommodation is great with a varied selection of rooms, each with an ensuite with good waterworks and plenty of hot and cold water; good quality of linen and towels were provided too. Three different areas on the gulet for our meals depending on what suited us for time of day etc
All our meals were catered for beautifully with a wonderful and varied selection of food daily to suit everyone's different needs. The smell of freshly baked cake straight out of the oven wafted over to remind you that tea time was coming up and somehow you always managed to find the space to sample it:-)
We had ordered our own drinks to be purchased and stocked on board for us and this worked really well for us with the staff simply serving what we requested at anytime very efficiently and always with a smile...
The skipper is extremely knowledgeable about the area and made sure we experienced some amazing tranquil coves for our activities in the sea and even to go out in the dinghy and enjoy the local towns ad fishing villages for a few hours on some of the days -- broke up the day and added variety too
The sea water on this coastline is amazing, with no seaweed at all; we went mid May for a week and despite this being early season, the sea was warm enough to enjoy thoroughly and we had extremely good weather with no rain at all; just one day with high winds when the skipper moored us in a quiet cove to weather it out and enjoy ourselves in the quieter waters
This was a first gulet cruise for me and many of our group but it certainly wont be the last as it has got to be repeated once experienced and of course, Blue Cruise are so good that we would definitely recommend them if you want to sample the same

As a group of 16 we chartered Prenses…

As a group of 16 we chartered Prenses Selin, the Gulet and Crew were Fantastic, and the staff at Blue cruise were the same, I mainly dealt with Yasmin & Ash who were very helpful. in turkey we dealt with Lauren & Dawn, we had hotels before and after our cruise chosen by Blue cruise and they were both Fantastic, could not have asked for more.

Fantastic Gullet Holiday

Had the most fantastic holiday all organised by Yasmin at Blue Cruise - she gave us wonderful advise and is very knowledgeable. Our gullet holiday on The Bodrum Queen was amazing - the crew were charming and couldn't have been more helpful - delicious food. We loved The Bodrum Queen - plenty of space and great to have paddle boards, canoes and fishing. We were taken to lots of lovely quiet bays - definitely one of the best holidays we have been one - couldn't recommend it more.
