Wow another fantastic holiday with Blue Cruise. This is our 3rd gulet holiday and this time we did a private charter with 16 friends and family on Babavelli 7. Ash and Yasmin are so knowledgeable and nothing is to much trouble. Our gulet was fabulous, the crew couldn’t do enough for us, well done to Captain Yousif and his crew especially his wife Fatima the chef, who served us the most incredible meals everyday. We relaxed, partied harder and had the best holiday ever and don’t want to leave at the end. Thank you to you all.

Just returned from our trip as a party of 14 on a private charter. Faultless in every way from the initial booking all the way through to return transfer. 1. Booking process handled by knowledgeable, friendly staff 2. Transfers arranged with good quality mini bus 3. Gulet was perfect, even better than our expectations. 4. Excellent, attentive crew for who nothing was too much trouble and were happy to amend the itinerary to suit our needs. 5. Food onboard was exceptional, Chef Ali was amazing. Will definitely be returning. Highly recommended.

Blue Cruise team were extremely helpful from start to finish in organising our trip on the Lycian Queen. Our main contacts in London were Ash and Yasmin. The trip planned for May 2022 had to be unfortunately and sadly postponed by a whole year to May 2023 but what an amazing experience it has been... We were a group of 14 good friends and started our cruise along the Turquoise coastline from Fethiye and returned to the same. The skipper Capt Omer, Chef Ali, Firat, Ozzie, Kemal and AliJan all went the extra mile in looking after us and ensuring our every need was catered for in making sure we each had a holiday, never to be forgotten! The Lycian Queen is simply amazingly luxurious and fully equipped to allow you to do whatever pleases you from simply chilling, sunbathing on the multitude of loungers in the sun and shade, swimming, snorkelling, kayaking etc etc. The accommodation is great with a varied selection of rooms, each with an ensuite with good waterworks and plenty of hot and cold water; good quality of linen and towels were provided too. Three different areas on the gulet for our meals depending on what suited us for time of day etc All our meals were catered for beautifully with a wonderful and varied selection of food daily to suit everyone's different needs. The smell of freshly baked cake straight out of the oven wafted over to remind you that tea time was coming up and somehow you always managed to find the space to sample it:-) We had ordered our own drinks to be purchased and stocked on board for us and this worked really well for us with the staff simply serving what we requested at anytime very efficiently and always with a smile... The skipper is extremely knowledgeable about the area and made sure we experienced some amazing tranquil coves for our activities in the sea and even to go out in the dinghy and enjoy the local towns ad fishing villages for a few hours on some of the days -- broke up the day and added variety too The sea water on this coastline is amazing, with no seaweed at all; we went mid May for a week and despite this being early season, the sea was warm enough to enjoy thoroughly and we had extremely good weather with no rain at all; just one day with high winds when the skipper moored us in a quiet cove to weather it out and enjoy ourselves in the quieter waters This was a first gulet cruise for me and many of our group but it certainly wont be the last as it has got to be repeated once experienced and of course, Blue Cruise are so good that we would definitely recommend them if you want to sample the same Tindy & Rekha Patel with party of 14 May 2023

Had the most fantastic holiday all organised by Yasmin at Blue Cruise - she gave us wonderful advise and is very knowledgeable. Our gullet holiday on The Bodrum Queen was amazing - the crew were charming and couldn't have been more helpful - delicious food. We loved The Bodrum Queen - plenty of space and great to have paddle boards, canoes and fishing. We were taken to lots of lovely quiet bays - definitely one of the best holidays we have been one - couldn't recommend it more.

What can I say, we have just returned from our second charter experience on the Babavelli 9. There were 11 adult and 1 six month old family members. We wondered if it could be any better than the last time we went seven years ago. Well, the whole Bluecruise team blew it out of the park. From Yasmin and her team in Head Office to Captain Ali, Ishmael, Ennis, Sali and Dawn, every thing we could possibly need was catered for. The food prepared by Ishmael was incredible and service from Ennis and Sali was impeccable. Captain Ali is a gem and please do yourself a favour if you are looking for total relaxation do not look any further than Bluecruise. YOU WILL NOT REGRET IT,

Unforgettable 10 days on the Ros Mare from Gocek. Blue Cruise is a fantastic company, evident from our first contact with Yasmin who is very knowledgable and generous in her support. We were six on the boat, including three children (youngest aged 3). We had worried that it might be difficult with such a small child who couldn’t swim but it wasn’t a problem at all - thank goodness for Yasmin’s reassurance which meant we had ten days instead of 7. I would encourage you to book for as long a time as you can. A week would have felt too short! The boat was even more beautiful than we had imagined, sleek and very elegant as well as very spacious. Our Captain Catagay and his crew were fantastic, somehow anticipating every possible thing and so kind to the children. The food was incredible - some of the best we have had in Turkey, especially all the fresh fish and slow cooked lamb. We sailed at the end of May, which meant some slightly cooler days but always able to swim. It was lovely having the beautiful bays to ourselves. Do not hesitate! This is an incredible holiday.

Just returned from yet another amazing Blue Cruise trip aboard Babaveli 9. As with all the BC gulets, you will find a very comfortable cabin with an ensuite (which had had a little refurb since my last trip to a include a lovely large shower head!) There are acres of space for sunbathing & chilling including some shaded areas should you wish a reprieve from the sun As always, the food was A M A Z I N G - big shout to Ismail our chef last week for keeping us so well fed and so much variety, there's always something for everyone (even the fussiest of eaters!) As it was early in the season, we had some coves entirely to ourselves a few nights, which was incredibly peaceful & simply glorious for your pre breakfast swim (not mandatory lol!) It's simply the best way to start your day Gulet cruising is the most relaxing holiday you will ever take, so give yourself a treat & book a cruise today

We had the most amazing holiday on board the Blue Cruise Lycian Queen and made some fantastic memories. The Gulet is equal to a 5* plus floating hotel. The Lycian Queen Team are professional, friendly, good humoured, helpful and polite. Their whole aim is to please and make your holiday as pleasurable as possible, the food is plentiful and so delicious. This was our 5th time sailing with Blue Cruise, we will be booking again soon for our next trip. The team in the London office, Yasmin, Ash etc are also first class when booking your Gulet holiday and respond quickly when contacted for any reason. If you haven't experienced a Blue Cruise Gulet style holiday I would highly recommend, you will not be disappointed!

Stayed on albatros D, incredible food and beautiful scenery however the boat could do with additional seating at the front of the gulet similar to others.

A truly wonderful holiday for all the family. Our family of 8 (9 - 69 years) have just returned from an amazing week on one of Blue Cruise's Gulets. Based in Gocek, on the beautiful Turkish Lycian Coast, we moored in tranquil anchorages, where we used the kayaks, paddleboard and windsurfer provided. Lots of great swimming too in the turquoise blue water. The captain, the crew and the local rep. were very friendly and extremely helpful. We always looked forward to the food, which was delicious, varied and plentiful! From the outset, the Blue Cruise staff in London were great, especially Yasmin, who was very patient with all my queries! We had the most relaxing holiday ever and would like to repeat the experience as soon as possible! Thank you so much Blue Cruise! Val & Family.

The Best Holiday Imaginable. We have had very good holidays with Blue Cruise before but this trip was beyond perfect. We had wonderful support from Yasmin and Ash in the UK. They sorted everything from flights, to transfers, to flight credits (when two of our group had to back out) and provided ALL the information we needed for a perfect trip. They also, for reasons I will never completely understand, upgraded us from the beautiful Optimist, to the absolutely amazing Lycian Dream for a minimal extra cost. On arrival Dawn, our wonderful representative and expert on all things Turkish, briefed us over drinks in a local waterside restaurant, took us shopping for all the refreshments we would need for our trip (her recommended wines were delicious) and sorted out some shopping essentials (the best Turkish Delight to take home.) The boat was beautiful, absolutely spotless, exceptionally comfortable, with massive lounging/sunbathing areas, elegant back deck dining space, wonderfully comfortable rooms and lots of ‘toys’, including paddle board, surf board, kayaks, snorkels/masks/flippers, etc. And as to our Captain Yeyser and crew (Yakel - Engineer and Seaman; Fatih - Deck Boy; Soner - Deck Boy; and master Chef Ilhan) they could not have been more welcoming, kindly or considerate. Note: if you are thinking of dieting on a gulet holiday, think again. The meals prepared by Ilan were wholesome, healthy, utterly delicious and irresistible.

Terrible experience with the management of this company. Our flights were cancelled by Turkish Airlines. Moreover 3 of our party of 14 are asthmatics and medically advised not to travel due to Covid-19. We were not even offered the chance to transfer our deposit for a cruise in 2021but just told to change our flight arrangements. Stay away from this company!
