Blaue Reise

Blaue Reise: Die Türkis Küste der Türkei und die griechischen Inseln erkunden

Gulet-Urlaub mit Crew in den Buchten, in denen die Blaue Reise geboren wurde — Privatcharter und Kabinenkreuzfahrten, von Mai bis Oktober.

Eine Blaue Reise ist die schönste Art, diese Küste zu erleben: ein Holzgulet mit Crew, eine Route, die in Buchten statt in Kilometern gemessen wird, und Tage, die mit einem Sprung ins Wasser vom Deck beginnen und vor Anker in einer ruhigen Bucht enden. Es gibt keinen Zeitplan, an den man sich halten muss — nur das nächste Kap, den nächsten Dorfhafen, das nächste Stück türkisfarbenes Wasser.

Medsail Holidays segelt seit Jahren in diesen Gewässern. Wir organisieren Privatcharter — den gesamten Gulet für Ihre eigene Gruppe, auf einer Route, die wir um Sie herum planen — und Kabinenkreuzfahrten, bei denen Sie kabinenweise buchen und die Reise mit anderen Reisenden teilen. Beide segeln in denselben legendären Gebieten: dem Golf von Gökova, der Halbinsel Bodrum, Hisarönü und Datça, den Zwölf Inseln von Göcek und über das Wasser bis nach Kos und zum Dodekanes.

Ob es Ihre erste oder Ihre zehnte Fahrt ist, die folgenden Seiten zeigen Ihnen, wohin Sie segeln können, wie eine Woche an Bord tatsächlich aussieht, wann Sie kommen sollten und was es kostet.

Das Erlebnis

Was ist eine Blaue Reise?

Die „Blaue Reise" — Mavi Yolculuk auf Türkisch — wurde genau an dieser Küste geboren. In den 1940er Jahren segelte der Schriftsteller Cevat Şakir Kabaağaçlı, bekannt als der Fischer von Halikarnassos, mit einem Kreis von Dichtern, Malern und Denkern in hölzernen Schwammtaucherbooten durch die damals menschenleeren Buchten der Ägäis und gab der Reise ihren Namen.

Achtzig Jahre später ist der Geist unverändert geblieben. Eine Blaue Reise bedeutet noch immer eine entspannte, von einer Crew begleitete Fahrt auf einem traditionellen Gulet: jeden Abend in einer anderen Bucht ankern, in Wasser schwimmen, das von Jadegrün bis Tiefblau reicht, essen, was der Koch vom Morgenmarkt mitgebracht hat, und das Meer das Tempo bestimmen lassen. Es ist weniger eine Bootsvermietung als eine Art zu reisen.

Gut zu wissen

On a private charter you take the whole gulet — just your family or friends — and we build the route around you. It suits groups of roughly 6 to 16 and anyone who wants full run of the boat. A cabin charter is booked by the cabin on a set weekly route, so couples and solo travellers can join without chartering a whole yacht. You share the deck, the meals and the itinerary with a small group of other guests.
Mornings open with a swim and breakfast at anchor. Mid-morning the gulet motors or sails a few hours to the next bay, often pausing to swim before lunch, which is served on board. Afternoons are for coves, paddleboards and shore walks; evenings for dinner in a fishing-village harbour or under the stars in a silent bay. Nothing is rushed.
The season runs May to October. June and September are the sweet spot — warm sea, long days and calmer anchorages. July and August are hottest and busiest, ideal for families on school holidays. May and October are quieter and cooler, best for sailing and exploring rather than all-day swimming.
Gulets sail full-board: your crew (captain, cook and deckhands), the cabin and, usually, breakfast, lunch and dinner are included in the charter fee. Fuel for a normal cruising route, harbour and anchorage fees and standard water toys are typically covered too. Drinks, à-la-carte extras and long transit legs are the usual additions — every quote spells out exactly what is included.
Many of the best routes hop the border — Bodrum to Kos, Marmaris to Symi and Rhodes. On a private charter this is straightforward: your crew handles the passports and port clearance, with a small transit-log formality on each side. Cabin cruises usually stay within one country, so tell us if you would like a Turkey-and-Greece itinerary and we will plan the clearances in.
First-timers and families often start from Bodrum into the sheltered Gulf of Gökova, or from Fethiye and Göcek among the Twelve Islands. Keen swimmers and divers love Datça and Kekova; those after Greek islands sail from Marmaris or cross from Bodrum to Kos. Use the regional pages below to match a route to your group.
A blue voyage (Turkish: Mavi Yolculuk) is a relaxed, crewed cruise on a traditional wooden gulet along Turkey's Turquoise Coast and the neighbouring Greek islands. You anchor in a different bay most nights, swim, eat on board and travel at an unhurried pace. The term was coined by Turkish writers who first sailed this coast in the 1940s.
They overlap. "Yacht charter" describes renting the boat; "blue voyage" describes the experience — the classic gulet cruise through the bays. Every Medsail blue voyage is a crewed charter; you can take the whole gulet privately or book a single cabin.
Take a private charter if you have a group of six or more, or want the boat and the route to yourselves. Choose a cabin charter if you are a couple or solo traveller happy to join a set weekly route and share the gulet with a few other guests — it is the more affordable way to sail.
Most cruises run seven nights, the classic gulet week. Shorter three- and four-night escapes are possible, and longer 10-to-14-night voyages let you combine regions, such as Bodrum with the Dodecanese.
Bodrum into the Gulf of Gökova, or Fethiye and Göcek among the Twelve Islands, are the easiest and most sheltered starting points — calm water, short hops between bays and plenty to see. The regional pages below help you choose.
Yes, on a private charter. Bodrum–Kos and Marmaris–Symi/Rhodes are classic crossings, and your crew handles the passport and port-clearance formalities. Cabin cruises normally stay within one country, so ask us if you would like a cross-border itinerary.
Very much so. Gulets are stable, the bays are calm and the crew looks after meals and safety, so parents can relax. July and August, during the school holidays, are the most popular family months.
Gulets sail full-board: crew, your cabin and meals are included, along with fuel for a normal route, harbour fees and standard water toys. Drinks and à-la-carte extras are usually additional — each quote lists exactly what is covered.
May to October. June and September offer the best balance of warm sea, long days and quieter bays; July and August are the hottest and liveliest; May and October are cooler and calmer.
Private gulets are priced per week and scale with the boat's size, age and season; cabin cruises are priced per person and start from a few hundred euros per cabin for a week. Tell us your dates and group size and we will send a tailored quote.
