What is Gulet Yacht
Traditional Turkish Gulets have been built by inspiring from the ancient Ottoman coast boats. However, in last 30 years these boats have started to be designed for blue cruises. These yachts sail through the beautiful coasts of Aegean & Mediterranean Region and have a special design with its engines and canvas for cruise. Although they have all the comfort of the modern life, it still reminds us the ancient time yachts with its high sails, esthetical design and the golden yellow handmade decoration. The unique design of the Gulets brings the comfort with it.
The other feature of Gulets is that they are built by craftsmen and they all are hand-made. In the Aegean Region they have been made of the wood of pine, chestnut, teak and mahogany trees for years in shipyards. These locally designed yachts (which have a circular shaped stern) work with both sail and engines. On the contrary of the light sail boats which are used for sport, Gullets’ length of depth is not so long. With these features, Gullets are suitable for anchoring to the coasts and shallow waters. On the contrary of big ocean ships, it is easier to find the bays and missed creeks with Gulets. Small sea ports and habitats represent a very cozy life which can’t be seen with the big ships. Gulets are the hotels with a full service; the only difference is to see different views from your room window all the time. Gulets -which are redesigned in accordance with the modern life needs- show variety with different shapes, different standards and different passenger capacities. Modern Gulets have all the comforts as in our houses. They all have comfortable cabins, shower, toilette, living room and sunbathing areas. Generally the poop deck of the yacht is used for a rest and having a meal. The fore deck is used for sunbathing. The decks are designed for the needs of daily life. Every yacht has a motorized boat or a boat with a paddle on the back. We have categorized our yachts as classic or standard, superior yachts, luxury, deluxe and super luxury yachts.
