CHARTER A PRIVATE BOAT

Turkish Gulets & Schooners

DayDreams sources its collection of beautiful wood built gulets and schooners from Bodrum in south west Turkey, one of the most important old Turkish towns with a tradition of boat building. (Bodrum was also the birthplace of Herodotus and the site of one of the seven wonders of the ancient world - the tomb of King Mausolus). The boats are built in a mixture of woods (pine, teak and mahogany) in a variety of sizes and standards, retaining many of the traditional features from the past but always incorporating modern amenities and comfortable deck areas.

A week or two aboard one of these romantic vessels, waited on hand and foot, is the perfect holiday for any group of people, whether a small family on a low budget, or a larger group wanting to sail and cruise in style. Many of the boats have been designed to sail or cruise and are built to a unique design. Most provide an unusual amount of space in the cabins, with en-suite shower rooms including flush toilets and an air conditioning system for the hot months of July and August.

The Cevri Hasans, which are operated exclusively in the UK by DayDreams, top the list of over 20 boats - a mixture of standard, luxury and de-luxe, all maintained to a high standard. Each boat is well equipped with a variety of water sports equipment. A professional, but relaxed informal atmosphere prevails with a captain and crew to run the boat and cater to your needs. The captain will steer a course to suit you. Jenny Day, owner of the company, has 20 years experience of travelling the coastline and can help plan your route in advance. Delicious Turkish food is prepared by the cook and all meals are eaten 'al fresco' on deck, except in early and late season, when you might prefer to use the comfortable saloon. We don't operate a boat bar system. We liaise with you over your drinks and stock the boat in advance of your arrival.
You then pay at cost when you arrive on board.

Boat rentals start at 3000 GB pounds per week in May.
