If you’re wondering what blue voyage Turkey is, here’s a brief definition: It’s a seaside holiday that has evolved over time, modernizing its journey from the 1950’s to the present day. Its birthplace was Bodrum in Turkey, but in later years, it extended to Marmaris, Göcek, Fethiye, Bozburun, and other shores abroad.
Once upon a time, boats 19-20 meters long were considered luxurious, while today, 50-60 meters are considered high-end. Everyone’s expectations of a blue voyage may differ, but the common expectation is the same: a seaside holiday! The blue voyage, which attracts more attention on Turkey’s southern coast due to the harmony of the sea and the geography, hosts thousands of holiday makers every year.

Every traveler is perfectly justified in admiring the region and its boats, and the reasons are numerous. Natural beauty, traces of civilization from history, underwater archaeological remains, local villages, and the experience of Turkish cuisine are just a few.
Turkey blue voyage tours generally fall into three categories. We refer to wooden boats as “gulet” but as you know, they are also known as “motor yacht” and “trawler” which are fishing boats known worldwide. Those who choose to travel on a classic blue voyage boat, also known as a “gullet,” prefer the tranquility of a slower cruise and larger deck cabin spaces over speed, high engine power, and faster arrival times.
Boats have different rental prices depending on their equipment. It might not be appropriate to generalize here. Instead, you can consult our Mirya Yachting boat experts.
In Turkey, blue voyage tours generally start and end on Saturdays. This has remained unchanged for years; some boats occasionally start and finish on Fridays or Mondays, but the general market is scheduled for Saturdays.
Guest check-in times can vary between 4:00 PM and 5:00 PM, and check-out is scheduled for 10:00 AM. This is due to the boat’s large size, and the crew has to prepare the entire boat to make it to their other tours on the same day.
