The Gulet: Turkey's Iconic Charter Vessel
The gulet is as much a part of Turkish culture as the mosques and bazaars. These handcrafted wooden vessels have carried travellers along the Turquoise Coast since the 1920s, when Turkish intellectuals pioneered the "Blue Voyage" tradition. Today, gulet charters offer an experience unlike any other in the yachting world.
All-Inclusive Luxury
Gulet charters are typically crewed, with a captain, cook, and deck hand included. The onboard chef prepares traditional Turkish cuisine using fresh local ingredients — expect grilled fish, meze spreads, fresh bread, and seasonal fruit. Many gulets offer all-inclusive packages covering meals, drinks, and activities.
