LIFE ON
BOARD
The whole idea of joining a cruise is to
have a blast, sailing in a great area
with good friends. Though we do not want
to make all this sound like boot camp,
there are a few important issues about
daily life on board.
While a charter on a gulet is fun in the
first place, let's not forget that
everybody on board must understand basic
safety issues.
The safety of passengers and crew/gulet
is always placed above any other
consideration. |
 |
|
 |
Life jackets:
A PFD (Personal Floatation
Device) is designed to keep your
head above water and to help you
remain in a position which
permits proper breathing.
The life jackets are stored
under the beds in all cabins
and/or in the common sitting
area. Ask your crew! |
|
Fire extinguishers :
Our boat fire extinguishers are
Coast Guard approved. |
|
|
|
|
Fire blanket :
The safety fire blankets on the
boats meet the requirements of
all fire safety regulations on
board. |
Necessity of a tidy boat :
Being on a 50 or 70 somewhat
feet boat for a few days or more
imply close quarters.
Beyond the simple comfort, it is
a matter of basic safety for
everyone on board that before
setting off, everything is
properly stowed and secured. In
the cabins and in the common
areas. We hope that everyone can
understand this and participate.
There is the potential for
objects to fly that are not
stored properly.
Along with this we like to keep
a tidy, organized boat.
The gulet is your home for the
period of your cruise and is
someones precious property. Be
kind to it. |

No shoes on board :
Normal street shoes are
definitely not acceptable on
board a yacht... walking
barefoot is the rule on board!
Soft-soled shoes for getting
around on deck (not inside) is
possible. |
Toilets on board :
A boat toilet is very complex &
sensitive machinery that gets
very easily blocked. Therefore
please do not put any toilet
paper or sanitary products down
the toilets on board. Use the
rubbish bin in the bathroom.
Air displaced from the tank when
the waste drops may cause a
smell.
Please operate the pump long
enough to ensure that waste is
flushed all the way out of the
hose to the holding tank. Waste
standing in the hose is a source
of unpleasant odours.
“Gentlemen please be seated” is
another effective way of
minimizing head compartment
odours. |
|
|
|
Water:
Water supply on board is
obviously limited. Please do not
let the water run while brushing
your teeth. Keep your showers
short. |
Power/Electricity:
The same concept as the water.
Please avoid leaving lights on
without reason. Electrical
appliances may only be connected
while the yacht is tied up to
land. |
|
|
|
Respect of fellow
passengers/crew and other water
enthusiasts :
We share the Mediterranean with
other boaters, fishermen,
swimmers, surfers, and skiers,
please respect their rights to
safety, comfort, access, and use
of the water. |
|
Seasickness:
Don't stay down below unless
necessary, look at the horizon
if you feel queasy. Guests who
are prone to it take the proper
medications well before casting
off.
|
|
|
|
Smoking :
For safety reasons, smoking is
prohibited in the cabins.
Smoking is allowed on the deck
and in the lounge. Please
dispose of butts in the
available ashtrays. |
