THE SALAMANDER VOYAGES EXPERIENCE

We aim to bring you our unique blend of western business culture and a thoroughly local experience on both our own stunning gulet in Turkey, along with some other additions to the fleet and with our partners’ gulets in Montenegro and Croatia. Sailing holidays in Turkey, Greece, Montenegro and Croatia are a fantastic way to view the beautiful Mediterranean, Aegean and Adriatic coasts.
 
We are passionate about providing the perfect holiday for each of our guests. All of our packages are highly inclusive and fully customisable to meet your wishes. Our crew are handpicked for their skills and charm, and, with your own personal chef on board, you will receive 5-star food as well as carefully chosen local beers, wines and soft drinks.

Family holidays/group celebrations are our speciality. When you are sailing with Salamander Voyages the boat you choose will be yours and yours only for the week. WE DO NOT OFFER CHARTER BY THE CABIN so your gulet holiday will be the perfect, private experience no matter the occasion.
 
Our Turkish sailing boat Salamander hosts a maximum of 12 guests while other options can host parties of up to 22. (We also have a handful of other gulets to choose from). All gulets in our fleet have en-suite cabins and are extremely comfortable. Each vessel has a range of board games, playing cards, accessible Wi-Fi and the option of water sports such as paddle-boarding, canoeing and snorkelling.

Wonderful memories.

What wonderful memories you guys leave us with. A 50th wedding anniversary and a 14th birthday on a great gulet with a fabulous crew. So many different bays, endless sunshine, endless food - terrific food and great watersports. Thank you all so much! The Broughton family. | UK August 2024 Salamander (Turkey)

The crew were faultless.

We had a great time. The crew were faultless.  Easy going. Cabins clean and air conditioned.  Food great and plentiful. The captain booked us into the yacht club mid week - can't remember where - but that was great.  All else was honestly fab and we all had a lovely week. Have already recommended your company to several friends.

Already we have recommended you.

Well I don't think there are enough superlatives to illustrate the marvellous time we had.  Every single member of the family from old to young thought it was the best holiday ever.  Tomas and his crew were so attentive, kind and as for the cooking - amazing!  I could send you endless photos but I will just send you a few and THANK YOU for everything and already we have recommended you.

Every expectation surpassed.

Every expectation surpassed. A truly wonderful week. Exceptional crew, nothing was ever too much. Delicious food - how Tugay managed to produce the array of food he did, was amazing. Great sailing on the Zests. All in all a lovely week and we hope to return again very soon. Thank you All!

A wonderful week - we will definitely be back. the best staff, the best boat - just amazing, all of it!!

Reconnecting as a family.

We really couldn’t fault it and had a very relaxing time reconnecting as a family.  We discussed possible routes with Captain Gurol and he definitely chose the right one for us being the Gulf of Gokova, lots of wonderful coves, clear water, able to find quiet spots, and not too much long distance motoring. Meeting up with the our friends worked perfectly and we enjoyed the water sports.  We also had an opportunity to sail. The crew were great, very professional and helpful and we couldn’t have asked for more.  Delicious food every day from the chef with plenty of variety, quite an achievement when at sea for a week.

Thank you! Anonymous. UK, August 2024 - Ya Selam (Turkey)

What a magical week.

What a magical week. Thank you so much Captain Zeki, Chef Tuguy, Alpay and Çaglar and Esin,You have all worked so hard to make the most memorable and happy week. We wanted for nothing and chef, your food was delicious! So many amazing flavours and so much choice. Alpay and Çaglar worked so hard and nothing was too much trouble. And all of you just smiled! Thank you, thank you, thank you. Victoria Northcott and friends. UK, June 2024 - Salamander (Turkey)

It was bliss!

It was bliss! Soaking up the sun, eating our way through breakfast, lunch, tea and dinner(no wonder the paddle board sank when we got on it) sampling your extensive range of wine and drinks, playing with the toys, enjoying the spectacular scenery and relaxing, while everything was done for us. Nothing was too much trouble. We were consulted about every anchorage, a rescue boat was on hand to pick up tired paddle boarders or sailors(not to mention the odd drifting canoe) and we were treated with such kindness and courtesy by the Salamander crew. David T. UK, June 2024 - Salamander (Turkey)  

What a wonderous week we had aboard Salamander.
