Private Cruise Details
When you charter the boat for private use, you have exclusive use of the gulet, allowing us to customize every aspect of your holiday.
Our private gulet cruises offer:
- Flexible schedules: We accommodate cruises of 3 days or more, and allow you to determine the start and end dates that work best with your vacation plans.
- Custom itineraries: Captain Oktay will work with you to plan the perfect itinerary based on your group's interests and holiday schedule. We regularly cruise Turkey's Turquoise coast and through the Dodecanese islands of Greece, so the options are virtually endless!
- Personalized menus: Love fish, hate chicken? Gluten intolerant? Vegetarian? Can't go a day without chocolate or a popcorn fix? No problem. We'll stock the boat according to your wishes, and serve the foods and drinks you love during your Mediterranean sailing holiday.
- Unlimited non-alcoholic beverages and the ability to bring your own alcohols at no additional charge.
- Immaculately clean and comfortable accommodation and access to all on-board amenities and water sports equipment aboard Arkadaslik.
