Yacht Charter Gulet Carpe Diem 1; Northrop and Johnson Yacht Charters Review
 Carpe Diem 1
The Turkish Gulet Carpe Diem 1 available for crewed yacht charter along the southern Turkish coast, we feel, here at Northrop and Johnson Yacht Charters, is a great choice for a crewed yacht charter on a Gulet in Turkey. As they say…”when in Rome”, and the same is true in Turkey, as when cruising along the southern Turkish Coast, once the ancient trading route of Turkey, try a Turkish Gulet for a crewed yacht charter. The Turkish Gulet is built new along the lines of the traditional vessels that once plied this coast. However now the Gulet is finished with on board luxuries for a comfortable crewed yacht charter in a traditional Turkish style.

Charter Yacht Silolona; Northrop and Johnson Yacht Charters Review
 Silolona
At 164’, the charter yacht Silolona, built along the traditional lines of an Indonesian sailing Phinisi, is available for crewed yacht charter through Northrop and Johnson Yacht Charters. Silolona makes a statement in any waters, particularly in their homeland yacht charter waters of Indonesia, and yacht charter areas of Myanmar and the Andaman Islands. Imagine setting sail on your charter yacht with 17 Indonesian crew, with the call to sail heralded by a conch shell trumpet, while the crew climb through the rigging wearing sarongs and head pieces from their native villages with the setting sun waning on the red sails of Silolona. This is part of daily crewed yacht charter life on board the charter yacht Silolona.

Gulet Yacht Charter Queen of Datca, Northrop and Johnson Yacht Charter’s Review
 Queen of Datca
Just launched, Queen of Datca, a luxury Gulet available for crewed yacht charter, was premiered at the Marmaris Yacht Charter Festival in May 2010, and Northrop and Johnson Yacht Charters was on board and thrilled with both the Gulet for luxury crewed yacht charter, and of course, the crew. Queen of Datca a 115’ charter Gulet, has 5 very comfortable guest staterooms for a total of 10 guests, all with ensuite bath. Queen of Datca, is one of the latest launches of the new luxury level Gulets available for crewed yacht charter, now being built along the Turkish coast. Built out of mahogany, the interior gleams with beautiful varnished woodwork throughout and is extremely spacious inside. The exterior living area correspondingly is extremely spacious as well, with outdoor dining and the lovely large sun pad area on the stern for relaxing that is part of every crewed charter Gulet experience. Here at Northrop and Johnson Yacht Charters, we highly recommend this luxury crewed Gulet available for charter with the crew ably lead by Captain Hakan, for your next crewed yacht charter along the Turkish coast.

Mare Nostrum; Turkish Gulet for charter
 Mare Nostrum
We are presently on board Mare Nostrum, cruising along the southern coast of Turkey from Marmaris to Bodrum. We have on board with us Kim Kavin, of Charterwave, who is on board to write an article about Mare Nostrum and chartering in Turkey for a prominent yachting magazine. We just finished our first day of cruising out of Marmaris and are anchored in a lovely little cove called Serce Limani. Mare Nostrum at 44 meters, and just launched last year, is one of the great new Gulets available for charter along the southern coast of Turkey that we feel is representative of what a top level luxury Gulet offers today. Even now as I write, I am connected to the on board wireless, which is offered free of charge, while sitting in Serce Limani, far away from everything, except clear blue waters, and the Turkish countryside.

New and Improved Gulets! Marmaris Yacht Charter Festival

We are in Marmaris Turkey this week for the Marmaris Yacht Charter Festival and have been very impressed with the quality of the latest launched Gulets. The improvement is fantastic. The Owners have been listening to us Charter Brokers and are building Gulets that will give sailing and motor yachts true competition, and yet the Gulets are still a great pricing value. Now there are Gulet choices starting at Euro 9,000/week plus VAT and expenses for 6 guests up to euro 42,000/week inclusive of expenses for 10 guests that are well worth considering for a charter along the Turkish Coast.

Silolona, Myanmar, Yacht Charter
Visit the Northrop and Johnson Yacht Charters Website

Silolona is one of the few yachts that has worked out clearance into Myanmar (ex Burma) to charter the Mergui Archipelago. This area has been closed in general since after World War II until about 10 years ago, when diving companies began to gain entrance along the coast for diving trips in the pristine coral gardens in these waters. Virtually untouched, there are fabulous diving and snorkeling spots, wide beautiful white coral sand beaches, filled with huge shells. Most of the islands are uninhabited, however there are a few villages, and of course, the Moken Sea Gypsies. Read the rest of this entry »

Silolona Charter – Chartering a Yacht with Children Onboard- Children’s Activities
Visit Northrop and Johnson Yacht Charter’s Website
Clients are always asking me if a yacht that they are looking at is “child friendly”. Families do want to charter together, and cruising on a yacht can be an excellent venue for family time. A charter offers a moving hotel room, family meals together, and a myriad of fun activities for all age groups. Children can swim, snorkel, and play on the beach, shelling or building sand castles. Being towed behind the ship’s tender on an intertube or banana offers hours of water fun. Hiking, exploring and beach games are available at the turn of a corner into the next anchorage.
