Onboard Life & Blue Cruise Guidelines | Gulet Charter Guide
The main purpose of embarking on a blue cruise is to escape the noise and stress of the city and enjoy a peaceful, unforgettable holiday surrounded by nature and the sea with your loved ones.
However, to ensure that your time onboard is as comfortable and enjoyable as possible, there are several important points to consider regarding daily life on the yacht.
With a gulet charter, understanding these essential safety rules will help us deliver the holiday of your dreams. The safety of our guests and crew is always our top priority.
Life Jackets
Personal life jackets are designed to keep your head above water and allow you to breathe comfortably while in the sea.
- Life jackets are located under the beds in all cabins
- Or in common seating areas
You may ask the crew for assistance if needed.
Fire Extinguishers
All fire extinguishers onboard are approved by the Turkish Coast Guard Command and are regularly maintained for your safety.
We recommend familiarizing yourself with their locations.
Keeping the Yacht Organized
Beyond comfort, one of the most important safety rules is ensuring that:
- All items in cabins
- And common areas
are properly secured before the yacht moves.
Loose items may shift or fall during navigation.
Please remember:
The gulet is your home during the journey, but it is also a private property. We kindly ask you to treat it with care and respect.
No Shoes Onboard
For hygiene and safety reasons:
- Outdoor shoes are not allowed on the yacht
- Walking barefoot is standard practice on wooden decks
- Soft-soled shoes may be used on outer decks
Toilet Usage
Yacht toilet systems are sensitive and can easily become blocked.
Therefore:
- Do not throw toilet paper or sanitary items into the toilet
- Use the provided bins instead
- Make sure to flush properly after use
Proper use helps prevent unpleasant odors and system issues.
Water Usage
Water on gulets is limited.
Please:

Water conservation ensures a more comfortable journey for everyone onboard.
Electricity Usage
Electricity is also limited onboard.

- Electrical devices can usually be used only when the generator is running or when the yacht is connected to shore power
Respect for Others at Sea
We share the beautiful Mediterranean with:

Respecting everyone’s safety, comfort, and right to enjoy the sea is essential.
