trade secrets Gary Blount Gulet-Barefoot-Cruises Tell us about yourself. I’m Lewes-based, and, by profession, an aircraft interior design engineer. How did you came to be running Gulet Barefoot Cruises? Lady Sovereign was my first boat. Then I got married and had children, so I sold it to buy a house! The kids grew up, and, after a ten year search, I found a traditional gulet in Marmaris in December 2013. I bought and renovated it, named her Lady Sovereign II, and now organise cruises. Where do you go? Along the Turkish coast, east towards Fethiye, or west towards Datça, stopping in some of the most beautiful bays that are only accessible by boat. We also have a route around the Greek Dodecanese islands. Describe the facilities. Seven double cabins, all en suite with air conditioning - although most people end up sleeping on deck. It’s so beautiful, under the stars. There’s a lounge with bar, galley and storeroom. The crew cabin is separate. The outdoor space has a shaded aft deck for lounging and alfresco dining, plus there’s a large sun deck. Guests can swim, snorkel, canoe and fish from the boat. We have a dinghy too, so you can water ski. What’s your favourite part of being at sea? The freedom. The clear turquoise water. Moving such a vessel with just the wind. It’s a beautiful feeling. Tell us about the yoga. Certain cruises include an instructor, who offers two yoga sessions a day on the sun deck. Mats and blocks are provided, and we don’t charge extra for the yoga. Can people sail it themselves, or is it only rented with crew? Only with crew - a minimum of three. Altay the captain, the chef and a sailor, sometimes plus two more in high season. We are happy for guests to be as hands-on as they wish. Who cooks? The chef, Tui. He’s superb. It’s a major part of the whole holiday. What sort of food? Turkish. He’ll do a barbecue, cook fish twice a week. And if you charter the whole boat, you can choose your own menu. Is Lady Sovereign II only available to hire as a whole, or can people book a cabin? You can just book a cabin. What happens if the sea is choppy? On the Turkish routes, we just pull into a cove/bay until the storm passes. That’s harder on the Greek route. But it doesn’t happen often. How much does it cost? Whole boat charter is £8,094 all inclusive, per week for up to 14 people in June (apart from one meal, when I give the chef the night off and guests go for a meal ashore). Flights to Dalaman/Rhodes are not included, but budget airlines operate on these routes.
