Private Gulet Charter in Turkey
Experience the timeless beauty of Turkey’s Turquoise Coast with a private gulet charter. Step aboard a traditional wooden yacht and sail into a world of turquoise waters, hidden bays, and sun-kissed horizons.
Sail the Turkish Mediterranean in ultimate style with a private gulet charter. Unlike daily boat trips, gulets are available only for weekly hire, giving you and your group the chance to enjoy a full week of privacy, comfort, and freedom at sea.
What is a Gulet?
A gulet is a handcrafted wooden yacht unique to Turkey, originally designed for fishermen and sponge divers along the Aegean and Mediterranean coasts.
Today, they are built for both elegance and relaxation, offering the charm of traditional craftsmanship with the comfort of a boutique hotel. With wide sun decks, spacious cabins, and a professional crew, gulets bring together the best of nautical tradition and modern-day luxury.
Why Choose a Private Gulet Charter?
Choosing a private gulet charter means designing your own perfect week at sea. Instead of following a fixed schedule with strangers, you decide where to go, when to swim, and how relaxed—or active—you want your days to be. Your captain and crew handle navigation, meals, and service, so you can focus on enjoying the journey with the people you love.
✔ Weekly Hire Only – All gulets are chartered on a weekly basis, ensuring a complete and immersive experience.
✔ Tailor-Made Itineraries – Choose your route: hidden coves, ancient ruins, or vibrant coastal towns.
✔ Exclusive Use – The entire yacht is yours, with full privacy for family, friends, or special groups.
✔ Onboard Comfort – Sunbathe, swim, dine, and sleep in comfort while the crew takes care of everything.
Routes & Destinations
The Turquoise Coast is a blend of dramatic landscapes, historical treasures, and tranquil coves. Your route can be relaxed and bay-focused, culture-heavy with ruins and towns, or something in between.
Most weekly charters start from Bodrum, Marmaris, Göcek, or Fethiye, with itineraries such as:
Turkish Gulet: Kamara
Trade the chaos of crowded resorts for your own floating sanctuary: Gulet Kamala is a 3-cabin, crewed wooden yacht where sun-drenched decks, turquoise bays, and tailor-made routes turn a simple holiday into a private, week-long Mediterranean love affair.
Life Onboard
Life onboard a gulet is all about slow travel and simple pleasures: long swims, good food, afternoon naps, and sunsets that last forever. Your days naturally fall into an easy rhythm—sailing a few hours, anchoring in a new bay, swimming, reading, playing games, or taking the tender ashore to explore.
Typical features and experiences onboard include:
4–10 comfortable en-suite cabins (depending on gulet size)
Large deck with loungers, shaded dining area
Professional crew (captain, chef, deckhands)
Freshly prepared Mediterranean meals
Kayaks, paddle boards, snorkeling gear (varies per boat)
Who is it for?
A private gulet charter is wonderfully flexible and works for many types of travelers. Whether you want peace and quiet, adventure, or a social holiday, the experience can be shaped around your group. You set the tone—family-friendly, romantic, or celebratory.
A weekly gulet hire is ideal for:
Families looking for a private, safe environment where kids can swim and play under supervision.
Groups of friends wanting a fun, shared experience with plenty of time together and no fixed schedules.
Couples seeking a romantic honeymoon or anniversary week with sunsets, candlelit dinners, and secluded bays.
Special celebrations such as birthdays, anniversaries, reunions, or even small weddings and vow renewals.
