Blue Cruise Yacht Charters

A schooner in mast placement,
Ariva III carries a headsail behind the foremast as well as two at the bow.
This is a relatively unusual arrangement intended to improve sailing performance on the wind, an advantage when engaged in coastal sailing where wind tends to parallel the shore. Seventy-five feet in length, this owner-operated yacht has ample interior space for five cabins each accommodating two guests each cabin with its own water closet and shower. Crew quarters are separate. There is in addition a salon adjoining an outdoor dining and lounging area shaded by awning. Ariva III is air-conditioned throughout and all interior spaces are isolated within bulkheads of solid mahogany.

Accommodations: Accommodations for guests consist of five comfortable double cabins with dressing table and en-suite bathroom facilities. Individual air-conditioning units are fitted in each of the cabins and all cabins are sound-proofed inside thick mahogany walls. Salon: A wheelhouse salon with comfortable settees offers panoramic views and an alternative dining venue. On Deck: Uncluttered teak decks feature a shaded dining and lounging area aft of the wheelhouse as well as an area forward of the wheelhouse accommodating up to twelve sun mattresses, the two areas inviting hours of quiet relaxation.

Further information concerning motor sailing gulets on Blue Cruise in Turkey and Greece may be obtained by clicking on the blue links immediately above. Thank you. You must be searching for a motor sailing gulet on Blue Cruise in Turkey or Greece. Otherwise you are unlikely to have found this web page. Could you be looking specifically for a crewed charter gulet with accommodations for five couples? Are you considering a charter cruise along the coast of Turkey? Are you hoping to anchor and swim along a white sand beach? Or along two or three white sand beaches? Are you into archaeology and history? Could some of you be dreaming of a crewed motor sailing gulet on which to cruise ancient Lycia? As did Lycia's own Payava? The fourth century BC warrior-aristocrat whose tomb is in the British Museum? Or could your dream be to sail Francis Beaufort's 1810-12 track along both the Lycian and neighboring Carian coasts? The Beaufort of wind and sea-scale fame who plumbed the depths of Marmaris Bay ("Mermerycheh Bay")? Whose reports to the British Admiralty about Marmaris are frequently ascribed to Horatio Nelson? Would you like to do this while on holiday? Would you like to have a family-and-friends holiday aboard a crewed motor sailing gulet cruising the shores of Turkey as did Payava and Beaufort? Shores frequently referred to as the Turquoise Coast? Would you like to have a group holiday aboard a charter gulet proceeding leisurely from one enchanting pine-shrouded cove to another? Or were you really thinking of Greece? Of a blue cruise along azure sea lanes between pastel-hued Dodecanese Islands and blinding-white Cyclades Islands? Or both? Have you decided you wish to Blue Cruise in both Turkey and Greece? Because you've read about such cruises in the New York Times. Or would you prefer to charter a sailing gulet to cruise Greece alone? The Cyclades in Greece? Mykonos? Paros? Santorini? Or might you alternatively prefer to charter a motor sailing gulet to cruise further along the Mediterranean coast of Turkey? Beyond Lycia? Starting in Gocek? Are you searching for Gocek in Turkey? For Fethiye in Turkey? Well, look about forty-two miles ENE of Rhodes Town. Up that coastal indentation. There or elsewhere we can put you aboard a motor sailing gulet for a Blue Cruise in Turkey or Greece or both. There we can put you aboard a motor-sailing gulet for the holiday of a lifetime. We can put you aboard a charter gulet with an experienced crew able to show you the flat sailing waters of the Gulfs of Gocek and Fethiye, able to show you the tracks of Payava and Beaufort, able to show you Alexander's Path down the coast of Lycia, and able to show you Cleopatra's Route up the coast of Caria and among Greek islands. Ariva III, a superb motor sailing gulet on Blue Cruise in Turkey and Greece. Contact Blue Cruise Yacht Charters today at bcycharter@aol.com
