A Gulet is a large traditional motor yacht usually made of wood, many years ago they were used primarily as commercial trade vessels transporting goods around the coast. Modern Gulets are still made to the original design having 1, 2 and sometimes 3 masts. The engines are large enough to power the yacht for its entire voyage, however when the wind is favorable these yachts can achieve reasonable speeds under sail.

There are three main types of Gulet in Turkey, the Standart Gulet, the Ayna Ketch and the Tirhandil. Of the three types, the Tirhandil is the closest to the original Gulet design and the most suited for cruising under sail. The only changes to the original design was the development of the Ketch Gulet which has a raised aft deck accommodating between 1 and 4 cabins below. Most modern charter Gulets are of this type since they accommodate more cabins.

A Gulet charter is for those who require the independence to plan their own itinerary, usually suitable for large groups. Cabin only cruises, available for 3, 4 or 7 days are ideally suitable for singles, couples and small groups.

Normally all yacht/cruiser charters depart from and return to their home port. However, it is also possible to arrange for a yacht to be picked up from and left at other ports.

However, the time it takes to deliver the Gulet from or return it to its home port is calculated as part of the charter period. If a one-way charter or embarkation at another port is required the additional cost will be included in our quotation.

In some instances, depending on distance and the time of year this arrangement may not be possible.
