flaka cruising
Sea,
sun and wind... Our
hospitable captains and their crew will keep their weather eyes open for
you during our sailing trips. On board, you will be pampered whilst
sailing from bay to bay. Sailing along beautiful, rocky coastlines, you
will have the opportunity to visit remote bays with inclines, covered
with pine trees and colourful little fishing villages.
day-by-day
itinerary: Sailing by wind on one of our trips
means freedom with no fixed itineraries! This gives you the feeling of
absolute freedom during your holiday. On our trips we sail by wind,
therefore we can still travel and see our fantastic world without
emitting harmful emissions. So this blue cruise is not commonly done
by motor, and we sail as much as possible by wind! We use the motor
only due to anchoring procedures.
We encourage education through
school systems; we offer stagiaires from the maritime education
schools places to learn naval jobs. To encourage their graduation we
offer them employment at our company. While working for us we train
on the job and give them a chance to develop their skills. We employ
our staff the whole year around, so there is no seasonal effect on
family incomes. All staff members including their direct family are
insured for health care and yearly medical check ups. To develop
local employment our authentic wooden ships are made by hand on
local ship yards, as well as the yearly maintenance of the whole
fleet.
We believe that if everyone took small steps to minimize their own impact on the environment, the world would be a better place. The best way for this to happen is for everyone to care and so we encourage interest in the environment and ways to protect it. We often see dolphins on our trips and this is a great way to encourage interest in our environment and the fragileness of the sea! Our holidays encourage people to participate in snorkeling and to enhance interest in our (under) water environment. We never visit turtle-beaches in the season when the turtles are laying their eggs and we do not promote riding camels or donkeys on the beach. We are a family run business as well and we want that our and your children grow up in a clean and safe world which we today enjoy so much! Our holidays are focused on having a great time whilst minimizing our environmental impact. There are so many natural wonders and architecture to see and enjoy along the Turkish Coast. Almost 70% of our earth is made out of water and it needs to be protected! From every booking we save €10 per booking to donate to several (underwater) protection foundations who are active in Turkey and Greece. Therefore you will help to both save and enjoy our sea! after a week of cruising, our guests have commented:
‘You
can take off your watch and become temporarily timeless’
‘I
slept out on the deck all night, it was magical, the sun woke me up
the next day.’
‘I
felt like the Queen! I used to dive into the sea each morning before
being treated to an amazing breakfast’
‘It’s
a very relaxing holiday, there’s no fixed itinerary, you can dress
however you like, it’s a great way to chill out and top up your
tan!’
‘This
exceeded my expectations in every way!’
