GULET

Gulet is Turkey's indigenous sea-going vessel, it blends practicality and tradition in a relaxed style. Over the years gulets have evolved from traditional crafts for fishing and transport into their present profile with a broad beam and wide deck.

Constructed mainly in shipyards in Bodrum, Bozburun, Marmaris, Istanbul and along the Black Sea Coast, the boats are equipped with motors as well as fully functional rigging. The number of passengers a gulet carries depends on the boat's size, most of them accommodate between eight and twelve people. Modern gulets are comfortably equipped with all the amenities of home and encourage an environment in which you are expected to do nothing but enjoy yourself. The closeness of the small group of people on board promotes an atmosphere of friendship and sharing; relations among passengers and crew tend to be relaxed and casual.
