( Cabin Charter )

There are different routes that “ Your Gulet World “ can offer for cabin charter. Cabin charter means: you can charter one bed or one cabin or as many beds or cabins you need for your family or your friends. Other people will be together with you on the boat.

* Please note that this is only a rough guide and can be varied. Also note that the route may vary slightly, depending on weather conditions and time available - at the Captains discretion.

* All guaranteed cabin charter departures leaving every Saturday from Bodrum and Marmaris harbours.

CLIENTS ARRIVAL ON BOARD

Upon arrival our clients are assisted into their cabins. Prior information about whether they require double of twin bedded cabins are helpful. On cabin charter it is advisable for us to know the gender of the client - this helps with cabin allocation.

The clients find their cabins fully prepared: clean bed linen, hand soap and toilet paper. It is advisable for clients to bring their own towels.

Once the clients are familiar with their cabins, a small information welcome meeting is held on deck. Depending on what time the clients arrive an appropriate refreshment is served. This is our opportunity for instructions, to describe to novice sailors life on board, safety procedures and establish a good coincidence between the Captain and clients. This is also a good time for the captain to show the clients the sea charts and describe the route to them.

LIFE ON BOARD

As you know, everyday the yachts normally visit two or three bays, making the last stop the place, we stay for the night, It is necessary for the yacht to visit a larger harbour every three or four days to enable us to take on water and fresh provisions.

Clients participation is always welcome. Our Captains and crew members always enjoy passing their experience on to the clients and if they wish to steer the yacht, learn the GPS navigation system or lend their hands at setting the sails, our crew can teach them. We prefer to use the sails as much as possible rather then cruising.

The energetic clients may take the advantage of the windsurf or fishing equipment on board, and those who wish to do absolutely nothing are encouraged to do so. Once the boat is moored the clients can visit the archaeological ruins and explore the beautiful coastline and countryside.

CAPTAINS AND CREW

All our crew members are fully qualified and our yachts meet safety regulations, including yacht insurance, life jackets, emergency dinghy, fire extinguishers and alarms. Our Captains are experienced not only the tourism business, but have been at sea for many years in various capacities. Their knowledge of the sea and client coincidence is one of the most importance to us, as is their basic knowledge of a foreign language.

Our crew members do speak English fluently, and basic understanding German language. Our crews provide excellent service to ensure the clients have a relaxed and enjoyable cruise. The crew members are also clean the clients cabins and bathrooms daily, and our chefs prepare all meals from fresh local produce. The crew members are all clean, shaved, showered and have a supply of clean t-shirts (a small but very important detail!)

PRIOR INFORMATION

As we mentioned before, any prior details about clients is always helpful. It is especially useful for private charters to us to know what kind of tour the clients require. For instance, we have some regular clients who wants to be in harbour everynight or wish for us to arrange some form of entertainment on board. On the other hand we have some other clients who wants always to stay in quiet coves everynight ! So any prior information is always helpful - even details like special requirements.

TRANSFER

If transfers are required, we can arrange for an English / your language speaking member of staff to meet you / your clients at the airport or hotel, and transfer them to the yacht. The charges and details for this optional service can be applied for.
