What are the safety precautions? Are we safe during the voyage?
Our gulets are very safe for adults and children. All of our gulets are equipped with safety equipments such as inflatable life rafts with enough capacity for crew and guests. In addition to these life rafts, there are service boats on each yacht, fire extinguishers (in the salon, in every cabin, in the engine room) and the life jackets to Solas standards, life saving rings on deck. The engine rooms are entirely covered with fire proof material for fire insulation. All of our yachts are equipped with a first aid kit. There are also signal flares. The life rafts, life jackets, fire fighting equipment and signal flares are obligatory on every single commercial yacht. No yacht can get permission to leave the harbour without these equipment anyway. All these equipment are tested and serviced by officially licensed service stations every year and then they are approved and certified by the harbour master every year. They are also checked by the Coast Guard. Our gulets are also safe for children. Our gulets have high bulwarks. A safety net can also be put on the railings around the bulwarks, if necessary. We have at least two life jackets for children on all of our gulets too. Our crew are very accustomed with parties with children. They provide a complete service to the guests with traditional Turkish hospitality and they can look after children as well. All our crew are specially chosen for their experience and their personality. They are all internationally licensed.
