Gulet Charter Turkey
A gulet charter is the classic way to see the Turkish coast — a broad-beamed, hand-built wooden yacht with a full crew, where your only job is to choose the next bay. Turkey is the home of the gulet, and the turquoise coast between Bodrum and Antalya is where the tradition began, with hundreds of boats ranging from cosy family vessels to wide-decked luxury yachts with en-suite cabins, chefs and water toys.
A private gulet charter means the whole boat is yours: your group, your route, your pace. Most weeks run seven nights with short daily sails, two or three swim stops, and nights spent at anchor in bays reachable only by sea. The most popular departure ports are Bodrum, Göcek, Fethiye and Marmaris, each opening onto its own cluster of sheltered gulfs and islands.
Whether you want a relaxed family holiday, a celebration with friends or a polished luxury cruise, our crewed gulets cover every level. Tell us your dates, group size and the stretch of coast you'd like to explore, and we'll match you with the right boat and itinerary.

A gulet is a traditional Turkish wooden sailing yacht — broad, comfortable and run by a professional crew. Modern gulets range from simple family boats to luxury yachts with en-suite cabins, air conditioning and water sports gear.
How much does a gulet charter in Turkey cost?
A private gulet is chartered by the week for the whole boat, so the per-person cost drops as your group grows; cabin charters start from around €1,040 per person for 7 nights. Send us your dates and group size for an exact quote.
Where do gulet charters in Turkey start?
The main bases are Bodrum, Göcek, Fethiye and Marmaris — each within about an hour of an airport (Bodrum–Milas or Dalaman) and each opening onto its own gulfs and bays.
What's included in a gulet charter?
A standard private charter includes the crew, the boat, fuel for a normal itinerary and harbour fees. Food, drinks and optional extras are arranged separately, usually as a clear provisioning budget agreed in advance.
