Traditional Turkish wooden yachts with wide decks, private crew, cabins, and chef-led blue cruise comfort.
A gulet charter in Turkey is the classic Turkish blue-cruise experience: a wide wooden yacht with a private crew — usually a captain, cook and hostess — sailing week-long routes between the bays of Bodrum, Göcek, Fethiye and the Gökova Gulf. Meals are cooked on board and served on deck, and the pace is slow, social and family-friendly.
Compare trusted yachts, locations, crew style, and routes before sending a request.
Bodrum, Marmaris, Gocek, Fethiye, Istanbul, and Antalya each suit different route styles and guest expectations.
Prices depend on date, route, fuel, crew, inclusions, yacht size, and whether the charter is hourly, daily, or weekly.
Confirm route, boarding point, food, cancellation terms, weather handling, and exactly what is included before paying.
Yes. Turkish gulets are chartered fully crewed — typically a captain, a cook and a hostess — so no licence or sailing experience is needed.
The most popular weekly routes run from Bodrum through the Gökova Gulf, and from Fethiye and Göcek along the Twelve Islands and the Lycian coast. The best fit depends on your dates and group.
Gulets are best over 3–7 nights so you settle into the blue-cruise rhythm, though shorter day charters are possible in some ports.
Most crewed gulets include an onboard cook; the meal plan (half- or full-board) and drinks are quoted separately depending on the yacht and group size.
