Meals & Beverage: A Culinary Journey Powered by Expertise
A Blue Cruise is not just a journey through turquoise waters; it is a culinary voyage that celebrates the rich flavors of the Mediterranean. At Naviga Yachting, we believe that what you eat and drink is the soul of your charter experience.
The Industry’s Trusted Source: Dayi Plus
The secret behind the exceptional quality of our onboard meals is our direct partnership with our sister company, Dayi Plus. Established in 2003, Dayi Plus is not just a supplier for our fleet—it is a cornerstone of the Turkish yachting industry.
While we use their expertise to curate the perfect experience for our guests, Dayi Plus is the preferred provisioning partner for a vast network of other charter agencies and yacht owners from Bodrum to Antalya.

- The "First Pick" Advantage: Being the primary supplier for the region’s luxury fleet allows us to have the "first pick" of the finest local produce, freshest seafood, and premium international goods for our guests.
- Strategic Marina Location: Located directly within the Marina, Dayi Plus operates with unmatched speed. This allows for last-minute gourmet requests and ultra-fresh deliveries directly to the gangway—a level of service that traditional retailers cannot match.
- Competitive Wholesale Power: As a major sector wholesaler, Dayi Plus provides a vast range of products at competitive prices, ensuring that luxury provisioning remains both high-end and high-value.
