The freshest ingredients cooked to perfection
Come aboard and enjoy the irresistible allure of the blue cruise lifestyle. The atmosphere is relaxed, and the views are awe-inspiring.
So, kick back, unwind, sip on a refreshing sundowner cocktail, and prepare for a delicious meal. You begin your day with a lavish breakfast. Lunch is an exciting surprise, and dinner is an unforgettable affair.
The mouthwatering cuisine is an essential aspect of your Sailing Chef experience. Your personal chef sources the freshest ingredients from local markets to craft enticing regional and international dishes. During your Blue Cruise, you'll also be treated to barbeques with unmatched views.
Finally, your Chef also selects the freshest local seafood, then cooks it to perfection, ensuring a quality that cannot be found in a restaurant.
However, if you crave a juicy burger, a scrumptious vegetarian dish, or a handcrafted pizza, let your Chef know, and he'll be eager to please.

About us
Sailing Chef has its roots in The Netherlands, Turkey and Ireland. We provide magical boutique sailing cruises in the most stunning region, with love for you and an eye for detail.
Become an insider
Our Chef, captain, and crew were born and raised on the Datça peninsula. They have been a successful team for over a decade that takes care of you as their family. The rest of us fell in love with the scenery, population, and Blue Voyage experience. Together we decided to establish Sailing Chef. Our goal is to provide you with insider access and take traditional blue Cruising to the next level. We do this with thought, surprise and charm, presenting you the VIP feeling.
From good to great
Traditional Blue Cruising is a wonderful experience. At the same time, we felt something was missing. To create your lifelong memory with a desire to return, in our eyes good had to become great.
We took a close look at each essential element of the blue cruise experience. We challenge ourselves to reinvent each piece without losing the casual atmosphere of your experience.
