As you’ve probably noticed, travel is a great bonder of friends and families. How many times have we seen a gathering’s joy level kick up a few notches with the words “Remember the time we went to . . .”?

This private sail aboard one of our sweet gulets is the kind of unforgettable experience that makes travel such a canny investment. We think our Turkish sails—grandly restful, beautiful, comfortable and fun—are eminently worthy of your attention and personal investment. Our gulets, leaders and itineraries are quite simply the finest available, as our many voyagers will attest.

In the words of our Turkey team: “This is the trip that dreams are made of . . . sailing aboard a comfortable gulet-style yacht with your favorite people, wandering the coast of the Mediterranean Sea. The rich cultural legacies of Turkey’s ancient civilizations combined with breathtakingly beautiful landscapes make it a veritable travel paradise. Enjoy the relaxation of sun, turquoise waters and Mediterranean cuisine, interspersed with hikes, kayaking or snorkeling jaunts and of course, explorations among classical ruins and visits to seaside villages.”

The itinerary summarized at the bottom of this page is a sample, or a place to begin pondering what is possible for your family and friends. We revel in tailoring the perfect itinerary according to your exact dates of travel and preferences. Please call us at (800) 777-8183 for further details.
