Set Your Route and Never Go Unscheduled

If you are going to go on a tour with your own boat, one of the most important things before going on a blue cruise is to determine the route to be taken. Because determining the places to go in advance and determining your route according to the wind conditions are almost vital in the blue cruise. The routes you will go, the bays you will visit, the hotels and the restaurants you will book if you are going to stay in the bay are among the important details that must be arranged in advance. A pre-programmed blue cruise will always provide a fully satisfying holiday experience. Also, as a fine detail, do not prefer late hours as it can be busy to moor your boat to the pier.

Blue Cruise Boat Selection

You do not have a boat, but it is still possible to go on a blue cruise by renting a boat. If you are planning to go on a holiday with only two people, the sailboat that will be accompanied and driven by the captain can be preferred. However, if you are considering a blue cruise with your extended family or crowded friends, a skipper gulet or catamaran will be a very logical option as they will offer a more comfortable living space due to their size. The crew demand for cleaning or meals is entirely up to you.

Must-haves in the Blue Cruise

There are some things you need to take with you so that your blue cruise trip does not come from your nose. For example, fly repellent for your body, citronella candle and fragrance for the environment are at the top of the list of must-haves in the blue voyage. The non-flying hat, which is fixed to the collar of the t-shirt with a clip, the shampoo that is harmless to the nature that you can use while taking a shower outside, and the nausea pill that prevents you from getting sick on rough trips are on the list as the ones that affect your comfort in a good way on the blue cruise. If you are bringing your own food in the blue cruise package, you can choose practical foods. Among these, there are alternatives such as pasta, sausage, practical sandwiches, tuna fish, frozen ready-made meat, hard rusk, ice, plenty of drinks and bottled water. In the meantime, never forget to buy non-slip slippers, extra sea shoes and swimming goggles with closed front to prevent slipping accidents on the deck.

Tips for Blue Cruise - 1

While enjoying the blue cruise in beautiful bays, a practical breakfast with salami, toast bread and cheddar can be planned, since cruises are usually made in the mornings. In addition, Lycra clothes to avoid getting burned while paddleboarding or canoeing, and environmentally friendly cardboard cups for easy and practical use are useful tips you can take with you. Also, since the bees come to fresh water, it is recommended to take a shower after dark and after the bees have gone. Since the bee problem will cause serious problems especially in Marmaris sides, it would be useful to put a cloth dampened with water on the front of the deck for this issue. Definitely try not to take bagels on the boat because with the wind, the sesame seeds can fly all over the place and it can be annoying.

Tips for Blue Cruise - 2

Waterproof bags can be  great use when getting food from land. We must say that it is definitely a savior when you need to swim ashore. In addition, it would be very logical to buy a speaker for listening to music on the boat or a pocket knife to use for various reasons on the boat and on the beach. In the meantime, the head lamp to be used in the ding will be a savior in every sense, never forget to take it with you.
