Since the time of its most famous resident King Mausolous (4th Century BC) Bodrum has been an important local boat building centre. King Ptolemy of Egypt had warships built here in the 3rd century BC in the area now occupied by the present day marina. The bustling activity of Bodrum's boat yards is little changed from the ancient industry that built Ptolemy's fleet. Many of the boats seen today are modern versions of much older craft. With its symmetrically pointed bow- and stern and huge outboard rudder aft, the tirhandil is a direct descendent of an ancient Aegean design and once the favourite of area sponge divers. More recently, the boat of choice is the gulet, taken from the Italian gouletta, ketch rigged with broad beam and rounded stern, and the ayna kic (similar to the gulet but with a squared off stern, hence its name in Turkish—mirror back). Gulet is ideal for private use or chartering, her broad beam and spacious decks provide room for comfortable cabins below and generous alfresco living above decks.
