Sailing in Turkey: Let the Wind Guide Your Blue Cruise Adventure
Experience the Freedom of Authentic Sailing Along the Turkish Coast
Set sail on a truly immersive Blue Cruise where the wind charts your course and every day brings a new horizon. At Guldeniz Sailing Cruises, we believe the journey is just as important as the destination. That’s why our sailing cruises in Turkey are designed for those who want to feel the joy of real sailing — quiet, smooth, and unforgettable.
Real Sailing, Real Serenity
Unlike most gulets that rarely raise their sails, our traditional two-mast gulets are specially rigged to sail. With large sail surfaces (400–520 m²), we harness the wind whenever conditions allow — typically between 2 and 6 Beaufort. The engine is switched off, the sails unfurled, and the sea does the rest. You’ll glide in silence, immersed in nature and the rhythm of the waves. It’s not just travel — it’s a soul-soothing experience.
Life On Board: Relaxation Meets Adventure
Twice a day, we drop anchor in a tranquil bay — ideal for a swim, paddle, or simply lounging in the sun. While you enjoy the sea, our onboard chef prepares fresh Mediterranean meals using local ingredients.
Each morning starts with a captain’s briefing. Together, you’ll review the day’s weather and chart your route, ensuring a flexible and personalized itinerary.
