DayDreams is a small private company specialising in gulet cruising and sailing along the stunning coastline of south west Turkey. Founded by Jenny Day in 1987, the Company will celebrate 38 years in 2025. The much loved Cevri Hasans remain at the forefront of their tailor-made gulet holidays along with numerous other luxurious gulets and schooners. And yes we do use the sails.
The DayDreams team, both in the UK and Turkey, are experts in organising tailor-made gulet holidays both for private charters and cabin bookings. They can advise on all aspects of a gulet charter, from the appropriate gulet to suit individual needs, to recommending an interesting itinerary – archaeological sites and areas best suited to walking and exploring remote villages on shore are a regular feature. In recent years, the Dodecanese islands between Samos and Rhodes have become a favourite cruising area too. Istanbul city breaks and land tours to areas such as Cappadocia and the inland Aegean are often added to a gulet holiday. The team’s organisational skills and expertise really will make the difference.
DELUXE GULETS
8 superb gulets and schooners to choose from in the deluxe category, ranging in size from 28 to 47 metres. The luxuious Queen of RTT joins the list for 2025. All deluxe gulets come with a variety of water sports equipment, spacious interiors, master cabins, excellent captains and crew and most important, a professional chef.
LUXURY GULETS
A comprehensive list of 16 luxury gulets ranging in size from 20 to 34 metres (between 2 to 8 cabins). Something for everyone in this category, whether a small family wanting an exclusive charter, or a large group celebrating a special anniversary. All luxury gulets carry a variety of watersports equipment.
STANDARD GULETS
What you can expect from the 9 standard and high standard gulets – a well maintained boat with an excellent captain and crew, good food from the on board cook, but limited water sports equipment. Several of these gulets frequently use sails and Grande Lale and Grandi offer a ‘sailing package’. Just none of the more luxurious aspects of the luxury and deluxe categories. Sizes range from 20 to 34 metres (3 to 8 cabins).
GULET CABIN BOOKINGS
Jenny Day has been bringing together individuals and couples into small group holidays for over 36 years. Many of these holidays have been led by her. Over the years, a loyal following of DayDreamers have joined her in exploring different itineraries and locations, excavations and land excursions. These gulet holidays continue on board the Cevri Hasan V with Captain Taner and his crew, individuals can book on a cabin only basis.
