FLAMA GULET HOLIDAYS

 
A Flama Gulet Holiday is a holiday on a villa afloat with round the clock service. All the gulets in our fleet are specially designed for charter in the Mediterranean without sacrificing total comfort. The crew look after the running of the yacht and the charterers only decide on where to go, what to do or where to moor.
 
We make sure the holiday really begins as soon as the charterers arrive at the airport in Turkey. A host or hostess will meet the charterers holding a sign with their name on it. A private vehicle will take them to their boat and they may wish to stop on the way to visit interesting sites or just to enjoy the countryside. Their host or hostess will serve them complimentary beer or soft drinks during the journey.
 
They will arrive at their boat to a champagne welcome and after meeting the crew one of our Flama staff will give them a briefing about the cruising area and life on board the boat. Then it's entirely up to them, we tell them the possibilities but we don't fix their route, after all it's their holiday. Once you step aboard a Flama gulet it becomes your own private boat, which is why we only sell gulet holidays to single groups, not by the cabin... So in the company of friends or family you can visit historical sites, bustling market towns and country villages, enjoy windsurfing and swimming in clear water or just relax in the shade with a good book.
 
If the charterers have children with them, no matter what age, they will always be safe on a Flama gulet; the rails around the deck are high enough so they won't be in danger of falling overboard, and none of the deck fittings are low enough for them to hit their head. Turkish people love children and we're used to having children on board. During the cruise two to six people will be working very hard to make sure the holiday runs just the way you want it to. Flama gulet crews are especially chosen for their experience, the captain holds an international licence and knows the Turkish coast inside out. They are gentle, hospitable people who will be friendly, helpful and always there when you need them with a quiet presence which never disturbs the privacy.
 
At the end of  the holiday we sadly say goodbye but with Flama that doesn't happen until we see the charterers safely delivered to the airport. A host or hostess will once again accompany the charterers to the airport perhaps stopping en route for one last glimpse of Turkey's timeless beauty.

WHAT IS A FLAMA GULET

The Turkish Gulet is very similar to the working boats of old times and equipped with engines and modern facilities. They allow the charterers to explore the beautiful Turkish coast in comfort and style and relive the spirit an age long past.
 
All the gulets in the Flama Tours fleet are especially designed for charter in Mediterranean.
 
Our experienced staff inspect all the gulets every year and make a very careful selection of yachts choosing them for their standard and also, most importantly, for their captain and crew.
