SAILING YOGA GULET CRUISING
We say "Set sails to new worlds with us. You will feel free and refreshed where nature still is perfect and untouched."
Prelude to Yoga and Diving Consept
A yoga group who came from Dubai has chancged all my life in 2013. I had been organising just diving tours up to that time. Yoga teacher Linda Johns from Dubai has invited me to practice yoga together and I didn't let them alone thru the week. In the following years Yoga Teachers Ferda Öktem and Monika Münzinger have organised their own yoga cruises on OKYANUS JD. Practicing yoga together taught me a lot about yoga and almost each day I have been practicing yoga on deck during my holiday season.
During the diving tours, I had been observing divers who have been in difficulty to wear boots and fins. With the experience I have gained practicing yoga, I have started to offer divers to get yoga in their life. One day, the idea introducing yoga to divers and diving to yoga practitioners, came to my mind and I started organising a unique consept - Sailing Yoga / Diving Cruises. As a yoga practitioner, I know that diving will open a new window in yoga practitioners lives. It is true that yoga practitioners will never have diffiuculty to wear diving equipment but may have some problems to block the nose during the diving trainings. This problem will be easily overcome during the dive trainings.
Introduction of new consept (Yoga / Pilates and Diving)
Since my sailing ship -OKYANUS JD - is suitable for practicing yoga and pilates onboard, I have started to share all details about us to YOGA / PILATES CENTERS / STUDIOS and TEACHERS who may would like to organize their own YOGA / PILATES HOLIDAYS on a sailing ship with a new concept.

You will embrace the tranquilty while sailing on the OKYANUS JD, both above and underwater with us.
Yoga / Pilates Holidays onboard is a beautiful alternative to the practicing yoga and pilates in closed areas during the summer times. Each day, spending the day and night in the different pristine beautiful coves will embrace you and you will enjoy the freedom of practicing in the wonderful nature and on a beautiful ship - OKYANUS JD. Everybody will realize their inner balance, spirit and will satisfy their outer being in the middle of the fascinating crystal clear waters of Bozburun-Hisarönü Bay-Datça-Kniods Yeşilova Bay-Bozburun / Turkey.
Arrival :
Arrivals and Route page will give you idea about our region which is on the west cost of Turkey just 7 miles to Greek Island Simi.
Closest air port is Dalaman as you will see on the map. It takes almost two hours from to airport. We will help organising your transfers upon your request.
Our concept is causing yoga and pilates practitioners familiar with diving and divers with yoga/pilates. I kindly invite all yoga / pilates practitioners and divers to our tours.
The yoga /pilates cruises or retreats on MSY OKYANUS JD is unique. Unlike the other yoga / pilates cruises, practitioners get chance of discover diving during the cruise which will open a new window to their lives. If you haven't get the chance of sailing before, I advise you our tours since we are able to combine sailing yoga pilates and diving on the same ship.
OKYANUS JD yoga / pilates and diving cruises consist of only 12 guests. The reason why we limit the attendies is to have you one-to-one contact with your instructor and to have you get more benefit from your yoga / pilates lessons and enjoy your diving. OKYANUS JD's boutique service always takes place away from crowds and daily life's noise which affects our lives negatively.
Our Difference than other cruises
I and My team are very experienced about quality service. This is my own ship and you will always have contact with me. I am not leaving you to others hands. As a ship owner, yoga practitioner and CMAS and SSI Dive Instructor I am always on board to keep my guests happy.
