Blue Cruise Yacht Charters

The Comar Yachts Comet 1050 is a fine choice
for charterers seeking performance in a bareboat cruising sloop.
Completely manageable from the cockpit, the sail plan is well balanced with a fast hull.
Below decks there are two private cabins, a salon area which converts to
more berths, functional galley, separate navigation station, and water closet with shower.

Dear Homo Sapiens, There is no need to continue reading this page. What follows is intended for search engine robots and spiders and not necessarily for human beings. Further information concerning bareboat charters in Greece and Turkey may be obtained by clicking on the blue links immediately above. Thank You. If you're not searching for a fuzzy-headed celestial body with a long tail, you are probably searching for bareboat charters in Turkey or Greece. Or you are perhaps searching for bareboat charters in Turkey and Greece. If so, you have come to the right place as this page deals not with parabolic orbits but with Italian-built sailing sloops called Comets. These are available for bareboat solo or flotilla charter in Gocek, Turkey, and may be sailed from Gocek to the Greek Aegean. The Greek Aegean has a long history with Italian sailors, most recently those of that country's navy who held sway with an army of archaeologists during Italian occupation of the Dodecanese between 1913 and 1943. The Italians came then in furtherance of a legacy of Venetian and Genoese occupation of Aegean islands dating from the Fourth Crusade to the seventeenth century. And, of course, the Romans were in the Aegean even earlier. There were others, too, including a number of Ottoman sea captains at war with the city states of Italy. Two worthy of mention were Calabrians from the foot of Italy, one called Chiaffer Reis and the other called Uluc Ali or Occhiali (depicted at left), the first father-in-law to the second, the second a novice in the Roman Catholic church until kidnapped and bought out of slavery by his future father-in-law. The father-in-law was destined in 1570 to succeed his son-in-law as Ottoman governor of Tripoli, while the son-in-law was to become the last in a line from Kheir-ed-Din Barbarossa of accomplished Ottoman fleet admirals. Early on, though, Chiaffer Reis and Uluc Ali had a habit of piloting flotillas of fast galliots in pursuit of Italian shipping en route from the Near and Middle East or between occupied islands. Visits to those islands in search of rest and relaxation were also to be expected, as are visits from bareboats cruising the Aegean today. Would you be interested in a bareboat charter from Turkey into the Aegean? Aboard a Comet 1050? Aboard a charter yacht accommodating four? Would you like to charter such a sailing yacht to cruise Cleopatra's route along the coast of Caria and among Greek Dodecanese islands? While you holiday? Cleopatra had quite a few Italian sailors in company when last she did it. Would you like to have a family holiday cruising her route from Lydae, near Gocek, to Kos? By way of Caunos, Amos, Loryma, Stadia, Triopia, Knidos, and Cedrae? Would you like to have a two-couple holiday aboard a charter yacht proceeding leisurely between these enchanting locales? Or would you like to charter a yacht to cruise the Mediterranean coast of Turkey in the other direction? Around Lycia? Starting in Gocek? Are you searching for Gocek in Turkey? Well, it may be found at the NW corner of the Gulf of Fethiye forty-two nautical miles ENE of Rhodes Town and not far from the international airport at Dalaman. There we can put you aboard a Comet 1050 for the holiday of a lifetime. We can put you aboard a bareboat charter and show you the flat sailing waters of the Gulfs of Gocek and Fethiye, show you Pompey The Great's path down the coast of Lycia, show you Cleopatra's route up the coast of Turkey and among Greek islands. A bareboat suited to fast cruising in Turkey and Greece. Contact Blue Cruise Yacht Charters today at bcycharter@aol.com
