What is Gulet

About Gulet Boat

Blue Voyage / Blue Cruise in Turkey- GuletThe classic Gulet blends practicality and tradition in a relaxed style that embodies the Blue Voyage. Best known for its rounded aft, low-to-the-water profile and roomy hull, was once used by fisherman and sponge divers to transport their catch. Over the years Gulets have evolved from traditional fishing and cargo vessels into their present profile of a broad beam and wide deck. These days, Gulets are associated primarily with charter and various designs have emerged, all of which come under the collective description of wooden Gulet.

The original Gulet has the rounded aft, but as design limits the number of cabins which can be built in, the “Ayna Kic” (flat-backed) style of Gulet is becoming increasingly popular as a charter vessel. Each of Gulets have been hand-crafted in Turkey and took almost a year to build. Constructed mainly in the shipyards of Bodrum, Bozburun, Marmaris and Istanbul, and along the Black Sea Coast, these boats are equipped with motors as well as fully functional rigging.

These 18-27 metre boats, 5-7 meter wide have 4 -10 private wooden cabins with bathrooms for up to 20 people. Gulet cabins are popular as they are all about the same size, and Blue Voyage / Blue Cruise in Turkey- Guleteach one has either a double berth, or a double berth lower and single upper (bunk-berths). Every cabin has a wardrobe for hanging clothes and a number of drawers. There is also room for stowing bags and bulky items. All cabins have their own ensuite bathroom with a pull-out shower hose attached at the basin. In the cabin you are provided with bath and hand towels, linen and a blanket. Cabins have 12 volt electricity. The electricity on most Gulets runs at 12 V / 24 V.
