The Turkish gulet is very similar to the working boats of old times and, equipped with engines and modern facilities, they allow you to explore the beautiful Turkish Coast in comfort and style and relive the spirit an age long past. Imagine wooden sailing boats thousands of years ago carrying cargos of wine and copper across the Aegean to trade with ancient civilizations, or fishing boats earning a living from the Mediterranean teeming with fish.Such boats were built along the Aegean coast of Turkey and many of the skills and designs used then have been passed down to today’s boat builders. Our gulets, from 14-35 metres long. They have: beamy wooden hulls, very spacious and airy; high headroom which improves air circulation in a warm climate; high booms and bulwarks, very safe, especially for children; very spacious cabins, almost hotel comfort; spacious uncluttered sundecks, fully covered with sunmattresses; sheltered aft deck with coach roof; outside dining area covered with sun awnings; powerful engines for safe cruising and accurate itinerary planning; large water capacity; fully equipped professional galleys; pressurised hot and cold water system; adequate space and facilities for recreational equipment. What could be more romantic than cruising on a traditional wooden boat with all the sails up under blue cloudless skies? Top on Page

Why is a Gulet Sailing Holiday so special ? We make sure your holiday really begins as soon as you arrive at the airport in Turkey. A host or hostess will meet you holding a sign with your name on it. A private vehicle will take you to your boat and you may wish to stop on the way to visit interesting sites or just to enjoy the countryside. Your host or hostess will serve you complimentary soft drinks during the journey. You will arrive at your boat to a champagne welcome and after meeting one of our staff will give you a briefing about the cruising area and life on board. Then it’s entirely up to you, we tell you the possibilities but we don’t fix your route, after all it’s your holiday.Once you step aboard our gulet becomes your own private boat. You can visit historical sites, bustling market towns and country villages, enjoy windsurfing and swimming in clear water or just relax in the shade with a good book. If you have children with you, no matter what age, they will always be safe on a gulet; the ropes around deck are high enough so they won’t be in danger of falling overboard, and none of the deck fittings are low enough for them to hit their head. Turkish people love children and yours will be looked after by our crew, we’re used to having children on board. During your cruise three to five people will be working very hard to make sure your holiday runs just the way you want it to. The gulet crew are specially chosen for their experience, the captain holds an international license and knows the Turkish coast. They are gentle, hospitable people who will be friendly, helpful and always there when you need them with a quiet presence which never disturbs your privacy. At the end of your holiday we sadly say goodbye, a host or hostess will once again accompany you, until you safely delivered to the airport. Top on Page Does Turkish Gulets have crew ?
