Blue cruise charters, matched to how you actually travel.
Seven-night gulet loops, whole-boat private charters, cabin-by-cabin shared departures, bareboat sailing and one-way motor-yacht crossings to the Dodecanese. Describe the trip once — group, base, dates, budget — and get a shortlist.
Natural-language charter matching
Describe the trip. Get three boats, not three hundred.
Blue-cruise buying is a constraint problem: group size, departure base, hull type, crewed or bareboat, duration and budget, all resolved together. A general search engine summarises listings; this layer resolves the constraints.

The editorial layer
Four hull types, four different trips.
The explainer content a buyer inherits — written to answer the question that precedes every blue-cruise enquiry.
Gulet
Traditional wooden motor-sailer, typically 6–8 cabins. Sold per cabin on fixed itineraries or whole-boat for private groups. Slow, shaded, built for swimming stops.
Ketch
Two-masted sailing hull with a motor-sailer profile. Better sailing performance than a gulet, similar cabin layout. The choice when the group wants actual wind.
Motor yacht
Faster transfers, more time at anchor, higher fuel cost. The right hull when the itinerary spans long distances — Bodrum to Göcek, or Turkey to the Dodecanese.
Bareboat
Self-skippered sailing charter. Requires a recognised licence and a sailing CV. Cheapest per-head option, and the one most often mis-sold to non-sailors.
Where the boats leave from
The bases that matter.
Turkish blue cruise is not one market — it is four or five departure regions, each with a different route logic. A directory that does not resolve by base is not usable.
The hard-to-copy asset
Turkey → Greece, without the guesswork.
One-way charters across the Aegean are the single most common planning problem in Turkish blue cruise. This is the content that makes a directory worth reading.
- Ports that allow one-way Bodrum → Kos, Marmaris → Rhodes, Fethiye → Rhodes, Çeşme → Chios. Not every base is permitted; confirm with the operator before quoting.
- Customs and transit log The vessel needs a transit log and the captain handles port formalities. Guests clear immigration individually — build an hour into the schedule.
- Where the cost actually sits One-way fees, Greek port dues and extra fuel usually sit outside the headline weekly rate. Ask for the all-in figure, not the weekly rate.
- Timing Crossings are weather-dependent. A Friday departure can become Saturday; never book a same-day onward flight.
