FAQ
Sailing Academy (7)
What is life like on a boat?
Sailing boats can actually be described as caravans of the seas. They typically have three cabins for two people, two shower-toilet units, a kitchen, a refrigerator, and a salon. The deck of the boats is specially designed for comfortable sailing and includes a spacious cockpit area. The cockpit area, which can also accommodate two participants sleeping under the open sky if desired, is the most common space for socializing and spending time together on the boat. With all the necessary equipment available, breakfast, lunch, and dinner can be prepared on board. Alternatively, meals can also be enjoyed at facilities in the bays where we anchor.
What facilities are available on a boat?
Our boats have three cabins that can accommodate up to six people, a stove and oven, various kitchen utensils, and shower and toilet facilities. There is a 220-volt electrical supply available when connected to shore power, and it is also possible to charge phones and computers using an inverter. There are 12-volt sockets in the cabins and cockpit as well. However, please note that during our routes, there may be interruptions in communication as we occasionally go beyond the coverage areas of mobile networks.
What should we bring with us?
- Sunscreen
- Personal medications
- Sailing gloves
- Non-slip boat shoes with rubber soles
- Hat
- Sunglasses
- Long-sleeved shirts for sun protection
- Raincoat and windbreaker (especially for spring and winter months)
- Flip-flops and sports shoes
- Sleeping bag (only for spring and winter months)
What kind of bag should we bring to the boat?
If you don't want to sleep with your suitcase, we recommend bringing a soft bag (backpack or duffel bag) when coming to the boat.
How does accommodation work during the courses?
In our boats, a total of six people can be accommodated in the cabins. During the courses, we provide one bed per person, but participants who do not wish to share a cabin can close a cabin for an additional fee.
Where will we eat during the course?
Our course participants can choose to have their meals either on the boat or at a restaurant located at the end of the day's journey where we will dock. During the briefing on the first day when we gather on the boat, we will discuss the shopping arrangements. Those who wish can use the equipment on the boat to prepare their own meals, while others can opt to dine at the restaurant. Since we will be sailing during the day, we prefer quick-to-prepare meals like sandwiches for lunch.
What are the participation requirements for the training courses?
All of our training programs are for adults who have reached the age of 18 or older.

Do I get seasick, and if I do, what should I do?
Before setting sail, you should avoid eating eggs and greasy meals and limit alcohol consumption. Prior to going out to sea, it is recommended not to sleep against seasickness. Our boats are equipped with natural remedies for seasickness. Using phones and tablets during the voyage can quickly cause seasickness, so it is strongly advised against. If you experience seasickness, inform the captain and, if conditions permit, take the helm and focus on the horizon, waiting for the nausea to pass.
Is the boat suitable for children?
Yes, you can participate in Blue Voyage programs with your children. It is recommended to use safety nets for children who cannot swim.
What is a transit log?
Transit log, also known as the "Port Yacht Registration Certificate," is a mandatory permission document that must be obtained before every boat departure. During the reservation process, we collect the names, dates of birth, and national identification information of our guests, and based on that, the transit log is prepared. Unfortunately, we cannot accommodate guests who are not included in the provided information.
What will we eat on the boat?
On our boat, you have the option to prepare your own meals, or you can choose to dine at restaurants that serve delicious meals in the beautiful bays along the route.
Who will do the cleaning?
Before your arrival, a thorough cleaning and disinfection process is conducted on the boat. New bed linens are laid out, and towels are provided for your use. However, during your vacation, dishwashing and cleaning tasks are your responsibility.
Is there a possibility for shopping during the vacation?
There are small grocery stores available in some bays, and in Göcek, you can find anything you need.
