WHAT IS A TURKISH GULET?

A gulet is a traditional handmade wooden boat equipped with masts. The most common gulets have 4 to 10 double/triple cabins and so accomodate 8 to 16/20 passengers. Unlike cruises on large ocean liners, on a gulet you can explore the secluded and often deserted bays, coves and islands of the spectacular Turkish coastline. You will see a hidden Turkey, beautiful beyond belief, and most of it completely unseen by the average tourist! During the day there are plenty of chances to swim and snorkel in the clear blue waters of the Mediterranean or explore the natural and historical sites along the way. Have a sunbath on the sundecks or read a book in the shadow of the aft deck on the comfortable cushioned seating.

Features of a gulet include an interior salon/bar area and a fully equipped galley. All cabins have en-suite

There are freezers to keep drinks cold, and a CD/cassette player, snorkels & masks, fishing lines and some board games. The gulets come with facilities for outdoor and indoor dining. Also a dinghy with outboard, a ship-to-shore radio,mobile telephone and life jackets are on board. All the boats are government approved with fully qualified captains. No experience of boats is required. All you need to do is relax!
