Exploring the Seas with a Turkish Gulet Charter

These charming boats, with two or three masts, have been part of Mediterranean maritime culture for centuries.

A gulet charter isn’t just about renting a boat; it’s about experiencing a nautical adventure that combines relaxation and discovery.

The History and Design of Turkish Gulet
Gulets originated in the 14th century in Turkish coastal towns like Bodrum, Marmaris, and Fethiye. Craftsmen hand-built these vessels from pine, oak, and mahogany for strength and durability. Traditional gulets typically had two or three masts, large open decks, and spacious interiors for cargo or fishing. Today, they are customized for luxury charters, ideal for week-long or shorter trips.

Modern Turkish gulet vary in size, accommodating 6 to 18 passengers, with larger boats hosting up to 36. These boats have comfortable cabins, a fully stocked galley, and lounging areas.
