M/S BALINA

 

 




The M/S BALINA,
built 2005, refit 2012, Turkish flagged Ketch Gulet, is one of the finest boats between Bodrum and Fethiye. Not only that this ship has been created by ship builders using traditional methods, but sea-farers and artists have also added their ideas. You can see their inspiration in the basic design and in many fine-crafted details.
Once on board the M/S BALINA you will find yourself in an atmosphere of nostalgia which evokes the golden age of world-class sailing ships.

You sail along the "coast of light".
You will experience the sun of the Aegean, the sea breezes and the proverbial hospitality of the people. The coast of Turkey, with its deep inlets, wide gulfs and sheltered bays, and the nearby Greek islands, is a unique holiday region. The pleasant climate, crystal-clear water and the delightful, ever-changing scenery of the Eastern Mediterranean are waiting to welcome you. The gullet M/S BALINA will visit magical harbours and coves and you will get to know the most popular bathing resorts and harbour cities. If you want, you can wander through famous archeological sites or use snorkeling equipment to discover sunken harbour moles.

Turkish cuisine
is considered to be among the finest in the world. On board the M/S BALINA you will find the finest Turkish dishes, prepared using the freshest vegetables, fish and meats. Our cook is an expert in his field. He will pamper you with three meals a day: breakfast, lunch and a three-course dinner in the evening. If you have any special dietary requirements (if there are certain foods you dislike or mustn't eat), simply let him know. He will be able to prepare dishes to suit your exact taste.


Your meals on board: Fullboard (3 meals + teatime) price € 38,-
Soft Drinks and alcoholic drinks are extra, we can buy them at supermarket prices and you just pay us the bill plus a service-extra for the crew of only 10%: We think that's a fair offer and all previous guests did appreciate that very much.
Meals

 

are mainy served on deck under the awning which protects you from the sun. In cooler months, our guests dine in the deck salon.



Let's be honest about air-condition on gullets
There is nearly none of the gullet charter-companies who tells you the truth about the use of air-conditition on Gulets. Yes, M/S BALINA has AC and you switch it on indivually. But on a boat the AC can only run when the generator is on, or in a harbor when connectet to 220 Volt. Mainly you are in anchorbays, often next to a neighbor, who doesn't like the noise of your generator and you wouldn't like it either during the night for example.
So most of the gullets (like we), have come to a gentlemens agreement not to disturb eachother - AC can be used on the most of the boats 2-3 hours in the morning or at night from 20 to 24 hours to cool down your cabin.
