The Blue Sea is a 27-metre traditional gulet built in 2003 and refitted in 2026, chartered privately with her crew on the Turkish coast around Bodrum, and to the nearby Greek islands. She takes up to 12 guests in 5 air-conditioned cabins (2 master cabins and 3 triple cabins), each with its own shower and WC. A crew of 4 looks after you: the captain, a cook and deckhands.
Most of the day happens on deck. There is a cushioned aft deck with a big table for long lunches, a sun deck with mattresses under an awning and a deck shower for after a swim. For active days she carries a canoe, a paddle board, a ringo, snorkelling gear and fishing gear.
In 2027 The Blue Sea costs €2,580 a day in May, June, September and October and €3,150 in July and August. With 12 guests that works out at about €215 to €263 per person per day. Two master cabins make her an easy fit for couples travelling together.
Similar gulets in our fleet include Prenses Esila (32 m, from €2,500 a day) and Prenses Bugce (31 m, from €2,500 a day).
Her starting price is about 14% below the typical (median) price of the 58 5-cabin gulets in our fleet (€3,000 a day). Booking in May, June, September or October instead of July or August saves about 18% on the daily rate.

The price does not include food and drinks, transfers to and from the hotel or airport (which can be arranged), optional water sports, personal expenses and requests, gratuity for the crew, port taxes and mooring fees in the Greek islands, and VAT.

See what guests say after sailing with DE Yachting.
I had an absolutely amazing time on the boat not a single complaint. The crew was awesome and so accommodating, they really took their time to put there all into everything they did! The food was delicious and i had a marvelous time!!!
Our family just returned from the most incredible trip to Turkey, and it truly exceeded every expectation. The highlight of our vacation was our unforgettable week aboard Baba Can, which was simply perfect from beginning to end.
A huge thank you to Hülya and the entire team at DE Yachting for organizing such a seamless experience. Every detail was thoughtfully planned, communication was excellent, and we felt completely taken care of throughout the entire process.
Most importantly, our captain and crew aboard Baba Can were absolutely outstanding. They made us feel at home from the moment we stepped on board. Their kindness, professionalism, attention to detail, and genuine hospitality made the trip so special. They went above and beyond every day, whether it was finding beautiful secluded bays, preparing incredible meals, or making sure our family had everything we needed. By the end of the week, they felt like family.
Turkey itself is one of the most beautiful countries we’ve ever visited, with crystal-clear water, charming coastal towns, delicious food, and incredibly warm people. Thanks to DE Yachting and the amazing crew of Baba Can, this became one of the best vacations our family has ever taken.
We cannot recommend DE Yachting and Baba Can highly enough. Thank you, Hülya, our captain, and the entire crew for giving us memories that will last a lifetime. We will absolutely be back!
