Captain.. Your host and the master aboard is, of course, your experienced and knowledgeable captain. He knows every cove, shoal and depth like the back of his hand. He is responsible for your safety and is very meticulous about it. He may change the programme according to the weather conditions. Please respect his decisions.
Cook & Deckhand.. Do not imagine that you are on an ocean voyage aboard a cruise ship; we offer a more modest, more intimate atmosphere. Your cook prepares delicious meals for you with skilful hands in the small galley. Your deckhand helps with the cleaning and assists the cook and the captain. Making the beds is not his duty; a small tip at the end of the cruise, as you see fit, will delight the crew.
The Boat.. The motor-sailers, built of pinewood, are inspired by the old Ottoman-Turkish coastal boats. Every cabin has a double bed, a small wardrobe and storage space beneath the bed. Bed linen and one face towel per person are provided. The cabins are used for sleeping only — real life happens on deck.
This Is a Real Holiday.. A real holiday is swimming among the fish in a crystal-clear cove. Days pass very quickly on board. If there is no excursion scheduled for that day in the tour programme, the blue voyage offers you plenty of ways to enjoy your day. The early morning hours are ideal for fishing. With a mask, snorkel and fins you can explore the underwater world. If you like, you can head out on a rowing boat or go ashore to discover nature. The coves where the boat drops anchor offer a wonderful panoramic view, perfect for photographs.
The main purpose of the blue voyage is to rest and relax. Remember that sports, entertainment and other activities are only things you will need when you get bored.
