IMPORTANT NOTES:
This is not an exclusively gay cruise. We organize this cruise in cooperation with other
non-gay boat operators or boat owners, but we choose the gay
friendly ones as much as possible. Therefore it is a coincidence
if there will be other gay or lesbian clients joining the same
cruise, same day with you.
This blue cruise starts regularly only on mentioned days only. Private charter
version of the same or similar route can be organized starting any
day for private groups if requested. Private charter cruises can
also be shorter or longer than 7 nights, if required. This cruise is classified as cabin
charter and the boats are standard quality. Private charter version of the same or similar
route can be organized with standard, deluxe or superior quality
boats if requested by private groups. We have direct
contacts with the boat owners and boat operators in Fethiye but
there will be a considerable price difference depending on the
number of participants, the size and the quality of the boat.
There may be small changes with the cruise route.
This is the most common route for this destination but the
captain can make some minor changes with the route due to weather
conditions and technical reasons. We may reserve you and
alternative cruise form another boat operator with similar route
if there is no vacancy.
What you should bring: Bed sheets and some towels are provided
for guests. But still we recommend you to bring your own extra
towels as well as swimming and sun bathing materials, a
