Blue Cruise Marks 30 Years as the UK’s Leading Gulet Holiday Specialist Across Turkey, Croatia and Greece

April 2026

Rated 5.0 stars on Google and operating since 1995, Blue Cruise is one of the UK’s longest-established Gulet charter specialists — with private and cabin holiday programmes spanning Turkey, Croatia, and Greece.

Blue Cruise began thirty years ago on the south-west Turkish coast and has since grown into one of the most trusted names in Mediterranean sailing holidays. The company now operates a fleet of luxury and deluxe vessels accommodating up to 24 guests, with hand-planned itineraries across three of the region’s finest coastlines.

Turkey remains the foundation of the business. The Gulet Turkey programme runs along the Aegean and Mediterranean shores — from ancient Lycian harbour towns to the secluded pine-fringed bays that first made this stretch of coastline famous among European travellers. Warm waters, extraordinary history, and remarkable value for money continue to make it the most requested destination in the fleet.

Croatia brought an entirely different character to the portfolio. A Gulet Croatia voyage takes in the Dalmatian islands — Hvar, Brač, Korčula, Vis — where medieval walled towns sit above water so clear you can count the stones on the seabed. The Adriatic routes have proven especially popular with groups after a blend of culture, outstanding food, and coastal scenery within a short flight from the UK.

Greece is the newest addition. Gulet Greece itineraries thread through the Dodecanese, Cyclades, and Saronic Gulf — island-hopping routes past whitewashed villages and volcanic landscapes that most visitors only see from a ferry deck. On a private charter the pace is entirely your own, with the freedom to linger at an anchorage or change course on a whim.

Solo travellers, couples, and smaller parties who prefer not to take an entire vessel can join Blue Cruise’s Shared Cabin programme instead. Individual cabins are booked on scheduled departures alongside other like-minded passengers — delivering the same crew, cuisine, and carefully planned routes at a fraction of the private charter price.

A perfect 5.0-star Google rating from 19 reviews speaks for itself. In an industry where the gap between the brochure and the boarding plank can be wide, Blue Cruise has spent three decades doing the opposite — well-maintained vessels, experienced crews, and a level of personal attention that only comes from genuine expertise.

The 2026 season is now open for bookings across all three destinations. Every voyage is built around the group’s preferences — route, pace, dining, and excursions — whether that is a week along Turkey’s Turquoise Coast, a fortnight among the Croatian islands, or a Greek odyssey through the Cyclades.
