CROCUS

Crocus suits groups who prefer to charter together, whether for a corporate gathering or a private cruise with friends or family. She was built in Istanbul in 2019 and measures 40 metres overall with a beam of 7.8 metres, a size that gives twelve guests room to spread out across the day. Her character is measured and well suited to eastern Mediterranean itineraries for a single party.

Accommodation is arranged as six cabins for twelve guests: one master suite, one VIP suite, three double cabins and one twin. The master and VIP suites sit alongside the doubles and the twin, so pairs and smaller parties can each have a cabin of their own within the same charter.

On deck, the listed amenities are sun mattresses and a deck shower, and snorkelling equipment is carried on board for swimming stops. Her onboard offering is fairly compact, so a day aboard tends to centre on the sun, the water and the time guests spend together between stops.

Crocus cruises from the Bodrum Peninsula and Göcek and Fethiye through Marmaris and Datça and Kaş and Kekova, then on to the Dodecanese and Cyclades. These areas cover both the Turkish Riviera and the Greek islands, so an itinerary can move between the two. A crew of seven is aboard for the charter.
