ISTANBUL (TR) - With the coming summer season, those who want to spend a peaceful holiday with their families or friends started to search for holiday options. In recent years, the tendency to plan holidays away from the crowd and return to nature, seen among consumers, has turned boat and yacht holidays into one of the most preferred options. A travel agency registered with the Association of Turkish Travel Agencies (TÜRSAB), Bugün Nereye Gidelim, made a statement regarding the summer boat holidays.

Pointing out that the demand for boat tours increased in July and August, the statement made by Bugün Nereye Gidelim said, “Boat tours, which offer the opportunity to see much more places and a quiet holiday away from the crowds compared to hotel holidays, stand out as the most popular holiday option in recent years. As Bugün Nereye Gidelim, we anticipate that the intensity of the boat and yacht rental sector, which started to move in June, will be experienced in July and August.”

“Göcek, Marmaris, Bodrum, Çeşme come to mind when blue voyage is mentioned”

Pointing out that the Aegean and Mediterranean coasts of our country are home to many untouched coves and offer rich alternatives to those who want a boat holiday, the statement said, “When you think of yacht charter and boat rental, regions such as Göcek, Marmaris, Çeşme and Bodrum come to mind. Bays such as Sarsala, Ayten, Bedri Rahmi, Kleopatra in Göcek, Turunç, Kumlubük and Çiftlik in Marmaris are among the best boat holiday routes. Vacationers who prefer to spend a few days on the most beautiful coasts of our country by renting a boat have the chance to see beaches such as Kaputaş, Patara, İncekum, İçmeler and visit places such as Butterfly Valley. Those who want a pleasant blue cruise and get away from the stress of city life, even for a few days, should pay attention to some details while planning.

“Beware of blue cruise scams”

In the statement made by Bugün Nereye Gidelim, it was pointed out that they expect the density to increase towards the middle and end of the summer season and that making an early reservation, in this case, is essential. The statement ended with the following words, “Blue cruise can be the target of scammers from time to time. Fraudsters using fake sites, fake numbers and identities can ruin the dreams of those who want to sail into the blue. In the past weeks, a gang of 6 people defrauded 160 people for bungalow holidays was detained. Such cases may increase in the summer months when demand is high. Those who want to take a peaceful boat tour should first make a reservation through the agencies registered in the Association of Turkish Travel Agencies. Having an idea about boat and yacht models, knowing the number of crew, learning about the toilet, bathroom and cabin facilities of the boat to be rented and determining the boat route are among the things to do before going on vacation. As TÜRSAB certified Bugün Nereye Gidelim, many boats, yachts or gulets can be chartered on our platform, offering alternative opportunities for groups of different sizes.
