- Will the meals be served on board?
We like spending the evenings in remote bays and try to avoid the
lights and sounds of noisy restaurants, beach clubs and marinas. So
eating on board becomes the best choice. The cook of the yacht is
superb. We will have excellent examples of the Turkish/Mediterranean
Cuisine. Should the tour members insist eating out, we can certainly
in certain places, facilitate their request as well. (
Your preference of HB/BB/FB will be indicated
in the included items of the quotation)
- Can we bring our
own provision and have the chef cook for us?
Certainly this can be an option.
-
Will the drinks be included in the tour price?
Tea, and coffee served all day long and water served with meals are
included in the price . The alcoholic drinks and the soft
drinks are not included in the price. There will be a chart for the
drinks. When the clients ask for a drink they will mark under the
drink they ordered. At the end of the tour, they will pay for what
they have consumed.

on board. We will provide every thing for them.

walk down into the water. If you need help, the crew can happily
assist you.

- If we bring our own music, can we play it?
There is a CD player, you can bring your own CDs if you like.
-
Will we have opportunity to go ashore? The best part of cruising along the Turkish coast is that we always
sail along the beautiful shore where the leaves of the trees in the
forests hand their branches as if trying to hold the hand of the
sea. This shore line is spotted with many ancient sites. On our tour
we will make sure that we enjoy the antiquities hidden in the trees
and discover the goat paths that are unreachable from the main land
by road.
- Is
there a dingy that we can use if we want to go ashore?
Yes, there is a dingy that holds 5 people. One of the crew will
happily take you off the boat whenever you want

However, some of our most popular traditions on board are 1. Celebrating the sun set with
Champaign 2. Cooking class on board 3. At least for once, the captain throws the net at night so we can
have fish that we catch our selves. 4. We play / teach backgammon
5. We let our clients steer the wheel
-
Should we worry about sea creatures such as sharks etc?
No, not at all. the Turkish coast has very friendly waters. One
disadvantage of this do not expect to find to much of a underwater
life as you would have in the Caribbean's or the Red Sea.
-

cool but if any body likes to sleep on the deck under the starts you
