The whole idea of joining a cruise is to have a blast, sailing in a great area with good friends. Though we do not want to make all this sound like boot camp, there are a few important issues about daily life on board.
While a charter on a gulet is fun in the first place, let's not forget that everybody on board must understand basic safety issues.
The safety of passengers and crew/gulet is always placed above any other consideration.
The safety fire blankets on the boats meet the requirements of all fire safety regulations on board.
Our boat fire extinguishers are Coast Guard approved.
A PFD (Personal Floatation Device) is designed to keep your head above water and to help you remain in a position which permits proper breathing.
The life jackets are stored under the beds in all cabins and/or in the common sitting area. Ask your crew!
Being on a 50 or 70 somewhat feet boat for a few days or more imply close quarters.
Beyond the simple comfort, it is a matter of basic safety for everyone on board that before setting off, everything is properly stowed and secured. In the cabins and in the common areas.
Normal street shoes are definitely not acceptable on board a yacht... Walking barefoot is the rule on board! Soft-soled shoes for getting around on deck (not inside) is possible.
The same concept as the water. Please avoid leaving lights on without reason. Electrical appliances may only be connected while the yacht is tied up to land.
We share the Mediterranean with other boaters, fishermen, swimmers, surfers, and skiers, please respect their rights to safety, comfort, access, and use of the water..
Don't stay down below unless necessary, look at the horizon if you feel queasy. Guests who are prone to it take the proper medications well before casting off.
For safety reasons, smoking is prohibited in the cabins. Smoking is allowed on the deck and in the lounge. Please dispose of butts in the available ashtrays.
A boat toilet is very complex & sensitive machinery that gets very easily blocked. Therefore please do not put any toilet paper or sanitary products down the toilets on board. Use the rubbish bin in the bathroom.
Water supply on board is obviously limited. Please do not let the water run while brushing your teeth. Keep your showers short.
