If you love fresh foods and barbeques, then you can expect it on board Turkish gulets. Aah the fresh sea air, hot Mediterranean sun, a big wooden boat all to yourselves, beautiful crystal clear waters and amazing scenery. You drop anchor pretty much where you want to. Sleep, swim, scout, shop, dine, drink – when you feel like it.  Is there any better or carefree way to spend your time in the Med?

Going back to the foods, there are literally dozens and dozens of choices when it comes to blue cruise menus. While yachts owners and agents have prepared set menus to go by; with such a rich selection of dishes from the Turkish Mediterranean kitchen, you could have just about any Summer dish prepared on board by your cook or chef.

Turkish dishes on a blue cruise holiday

Dining on board a gulet is a totally different experience than being seated at a restaurant by the waterfront. Even the barbequed fish, meat and chicken just tastes better!  It’s also fun for the crews to do barbeques. You can go by what the kitchen has prepped or catch your own fish of the day and bbq too.

Just imagine the charter boat is yours for however longed you have booked, there are no set meals times (unless specified by your group leader).  Snacking on chilled fresh seasonal fruits throughout the day, and cooling drinks at your side served to you by your own private crew (mind you, you could help yourself to the outdoor cooler when you feel like it too), it’s such a very easy going vacation without the line-ups.

Private gulet yacht charter cruises

If you have been on a private yacht charter holiday in Turkey; to ask what your favorite blue cruise dish may not be fair – especially if you have enjoyed it all or most of the dishes served. But among the feedback given from guests whom have experienced this type of holiday, there were 3 types of foods that was enjoyed the most. Barbeques, salads, and fruits. Deserts were also very well liked. However sweets seemed a bit heavy for some, during the hot temperatures.

One of the best parts of a blue cruise private charter holiday to look foward to… is the food! 🙂 So be prepared to eat healthy and possibly gain a few from the tempting pastry and deserts!
