There is also no better way of enjoying a cooling swim, whilst at anchor in turquoise waters.
Gulets are like small full-service hotels with a constantly changing sea view.
Gulet, from the French golette (schooner), is a traditional Turkish broad-beamed wooden coastal sailing vessel with a raised bow, a broad, flat stern, a main foremast and secondary mast aft. Turkey’s wooden gulets are configured with powerful diesel engines to provide primary power, and sails to provide additional power, or primary power in strong winds. This means you can sail silently when the wind allows, but go wherever you want reliably with motor power.
Gulets are particularly good as pleasure sailing vessels because of their broad beam, which gives them lots of deck space—particularly aft—and plenty of rooms for spacious cabins. Turkish gulets come in many sizes, from small 50 foot-long craft with the necessary equipment to large, luxurious 110 foot air-conditioned vessels with every convenience and luxury.
A gulet may have from three to ten two-guest cabins (for 6 to 20 guests), but gulets with between four and six cabins accommodating up to 10 to 12 travelers are most common. Gulet’s public area includes an elegant galley with large picture windows, a spacious lounge furnished with rich fabrics and open bar.
They have their own cabin with separate en-suite facilities for their convenience.
Crew includes a captain, a gourmet chef, and two or three sailors.
The stern deck area, shaded by an awning if the sun is hot, is large enough for a table for games, drinks or exquisite al fresco meals. There are plenty of sun loungers and mattresses for guests to enjoy the Mediterranean sun.
Our itineraries are designed to cruise or sail for an average of three-four hour a day. Gulets in many ways are like small full-service hotels with a constantly changing sea view.
There is also no better way of enjoying a cooling swim, whilst at anchor in turquoise waters. Travelers reach the welcoming warm water any time via comfortable ladder descending far into the water.
Crew includes a captain, a gourmet chef, and one or two sailors. They have their own cabin with separate en-suite facilities for their convenience. Our crews on our boats are trained to provide the finest service that will exceed your expectations.
