Right from the start we have to say this: Your kids come first!
Your kids on gulet are a priority to you and to us! Your own comfort surely isn’t the first thing that comes to mind when planning a family cruise. Naturally, you might have many questions worrying you, regarding safety, Turkey as a family destination, activities for kids, their enjoyment, comfort etc. In this post, we’ll try to answer as many questions possible so if you plan to travel with kids on board you will be prepared!
When you have small kids first thing that comes to your mind probably is safety on board. There is no age limit for children that can come and join the trip.
However, parents’ responsibility is, like always, to watch over the kids while on board or on the shore. Firstly you’ll inform us how many children you have and what their age is.
Once you start planning and searching for perfect gulet for you and your family we will make sure to match you with one that includes a safety net that will protect your child/children from falling.
Additionally, we will provide you with gulet that has a larger salon and wider more spacious comfortable ship beam.
Which means during your Turkey cruise your kids will be able to play safely on the deck or they can have their fun games in the salon.
You can also consider booking gulet that has a large salon with TV.
So this way while the captain takes you from one location to the other children will be safe in the salon watching cartoons.
This time you can use for your leisure time, enjoy and relax on the deck.

We and your Captain will help you with finding those places that should be very safe for them and you don’t have to worry.
Turkey offers a lot of places for swimming, snorkelling, and other water sports that are quite important for your kids fun.
Your gulet has to have as much water sports options as possible.
Most of the gulets have all this basic equipment on board, but there are also more advanced water toys such as Water skiing, donut ride, banana ride, wakeboard, jet ski, etc.
Some of the equipment can be used by kids only with parents approval.
Salon with a TV and other technical equipment such as iPod plugins and a good music system will also come in handy. It is important to check the availability of Wi-Fi internet connection once you start looking for perfect guilt.
