What is an All-Inclusive Blue Cruise? Luxury Without Hidden Costs

"All-Inclusive Blue Cruise" is the favorite concept of holidaymakers: From the moment you step on the boat, you lock your wallet in the safe and just enjoy the sea. However, there are some important differences between the "All-Inclusive" system in hotels and the system on the boat.

As Limancepte.com, we explain transparently what the All-Inclusive system really covers and what options are available so that you do not encounter surprise costs, especially in Fethiye yacht charter routes.

How is it Applied? Two Main Methods

• 1. Cabin Charter (Shared Tour): Most popular. You rent only a cabin, not the whole boat. Menu and route are fixed. Usually "Unlimited Local Drinks" (Beer, Wine, Raki) are included. Ideal for couples.
• 2. Private Yacht Charter (Custom All-Inclusive): When you rent the whole boat, standard practice is "Rent + Provisions". However, you can buy an "All-Inclusive Package" by paying a fixed daily fee per person (e.g., €50 - €80). Staff does the shopping and cooking. Ideal for large families.

Inclusions and Exclusions List

When we say "All-Inclusive" in a blue cruise, your expectation should be:

Most Popular All-Inclusive Routes

• Fethiye - Kekova - Fethiye (1 Week): Best seller. Covers Oludeniz, Kas, Kalkan, and Sunken City.
• Bodrum - Gokova Bay (1 Week): The calmest route. Covers Seven Islands, English Harbor, and Sedir Island.
• Marmaris - Datca - Hisaronu (1 Week): A boutique route with plenty of green and blue.

3. Blue Cruise Cuisine: Floating Restaurant Experience

Meals are not buffets, but boutique and fresh.

• Breakfasts: Starts with "Mixed Aegean Breakfast". Fresh vegetables, honey-cream, eggs, and hot bread.
• Lunch and Tea: Olive oil dishes and salads for lunch; famous "5 PM Tea" break with cakes/pastries.
• Dinners: The finale of the day. Main course is usually barbecue (Fish/Chicken/Meatballs). Served with appetizers under the stars.

4. Rhythm of a Day on the Boat

For those worried about getting bored, here is the standard flow:

• 07:00 - 09:00: Morning swim to say "Hello" to the day.
• 09:30 - 10:30: Long breakfast pleasure.
• 11:00 - 13:00: Cruising time. Reading and sunbathing.
• 13:30 - 16:00: Lunch and siesta in a new bay.
• 17:00: Tea time and water sports.
• 20:00: Dinner and night entertainment.

5. Limits of "Unlimited"

Critical details to ask to avoid surprises:

• AC Usage: Due to generator fuel, AC is usually turned on for only 4-6 hours/day (before sleep). "24/7 AC" is extra or for luxury boats.
• Alcohol Brands: Ask which brands are served. Some use well-known brands, others may prefer budget ones.
• Water Sports Fuel: Fuel for Jetski or Ringo is not included. You pay as you use.
