Unal Boyaci, in other words Captain Unal comes from a family who shares a great passion for sea for over five generations. He was born in 1937, as the son of Ahmet Boyaci from Kos. In 1945, when Unal turned 8, he joined his father and started an adventurous life at sea. Who would know that this adventure would last for over 60 years? Even today it still continues...

  Well, Captain Unal is still at sea. He never left “the great blue” and devoted his whole life to it as the sea has pervaded him. Let’s take a brief look into his story...

  As we all know, the times when Captain Unal was a child, were quite different from nowadays. Then, Bodrum was a little town by the seaside, the name of which was only known by its residents. The native people were making their living by sponge diving and fishery which were the primary sources for economical and social development of this little seaside village.

  Captain Unal had also chosen sponge diving to earn his living and together with his father they did this job from 1949 till 1969. They searched every inch of the sea ground in the Aegean and Mediterranean bays, from Foca to Mersin. In wintertime, they were trawling and earning their living through fishery.

  After the death of his father, Captain Unal took over his heritage and enthusiastically continued the life at sea. After all, being a seaman was his valuable heritage to carry over to the next generation and this is why Captain Unal raised his son as a seaman too, just like his father did to him.

  After 1970, “tourism” would turn the little fisher town into today’s Bodrum, as we know it. In 1974 Captain Unal and his son, who was then 10 years old, started to work in the tourism sector. From that day onwards, domestic and international tourists enjoy the endless pleasures of going on a yacht trip with them, in a warm family atmosphere, to enjoy the glamour of “Blue Voyage”.
