What is a Turkish Gulet?
A gulet is a handcrafted wooden yacht, built in Turkey, designed for comfort, space, and elegance. These traditional Turkish boats range from classic models to ultra-luxury gulets with 5-star amenities. All of our gulets include a professional crew and private chef, offering all-inclusive, tailor-made service.
