There are two main options you can choose from if you want to sail on a Turkish yacht; you can either hire a whole vessel or you can join other tourists and visitors on board a Blue Voyage cruise.

This means you can tour the entire Mediterranean Sea during your entire cruise or you can just make a few stops at some of the best ports in Turkey.
For Blue Voyage cruises, you do not have the privilege of being exclusively served by the vessel crew. You share the yacht, the service and the experience with other clients. The advantage of booking for this tour packages is that you can enjoy your holiday even if you are on your own because you wouldn’t really be alone.
