What is a Gulet?
A gulet is a wooden and motor sailing yacht built for blue cruising. Gulets are built for sea lovers to enjoy their yacht and gulet holidays on the deck during the charter. Spacious decks and housing a large stern half moon shaped dining and lounging area are the gulet’s main specialties.
The passenger capacity of a gulet varies 8 and 16 people according to the size of the gulet. They all have a wide deck in the front parts for sunbathing.
The mid-ship parts are used for the bar, kitchen and living room. The stern deck mostly used for resting as well. Seating, dining tables, bar and kitchen take place in this enclosed area.
The cabins take place in the lower deck. Gulets have an approximate speed of 8 to 11 knots and are very similar to cruise liners and small passenger boats only in that they offer private accommodation to their guests.
Close quarters on a gulet promote an atmosphere of friendship and sharing. Relationships among the passengers and the crew tend to be friendlier. In addition, a gulet can take you to all smaller isolated bays whereas cruisers are just bound from one port to another.
Blue Cruise
A Blue Cruise, also known as a Blue Voyage (Turkish: Mavi Yolculuk) or Blue Tour (Turkish: Mavi Tur), is a term used for recreational voyages along the Turkish Riviera, on Turkey’s southwestern coast along the Aegean and Mediterranean seas.
The cruise is typically a week-long trip aboard the local gulet schooners, to ancient cities, harbors, tombs, and beaches in the numerous small coves along the country’s Turquoise Coast.
Carian Cruise is a lesser-known synonym used by some sources internationally, in reference to the term Caria — the name this region of southwest Turkey was called in ancient times.
History
The term Blue Voyage, which is used in Turkey’s tourism industry, has its origins in Turkish literature, deriving from the title of a book by Azra Erhat, and was first introduced into Turkish literature by a handful of writers, such as Cevat Şakir Kabaağaçlı (alias The Fisherman of Halicarnassus).
The author, who had been exiled to Bodrum in 1925, began taking trips with his friends on the local sponge divers’ sailing boats, called gulets, and was moved and inspired by the local culture and natural beauty. These excursions became known as “Blue Voyages”.
Fellow author Sabahattin Eyüboğlu, together with his circle of family and friends, participated in Blue Cruises, as did Azra Erhat.
The literary review “Yeni Ufuklar” (New Horizons) in the 1950s and 1960s contributed to publicizing the Blue Cruise, and numerous guidebooks were published in Turkish and German presenting romantic depictions of the voyage. Since that time, cruise tourism has grown to support a sizable portion of the local economy, and transformed Bodrum from a fishing village to a holiday destination.
