What is a Gulet?
A traditional wood motor/sail boat. Imagine wooden boats thousands of years ago carrying cargoes of wine and copper across the Aegean on the wind, to trade with ancient civilizations, or fishing boats earning a living from the Mediterranean. Such boats were built along the Aegean coast of Turkey. Many of the skills and designs have been passed down to today’s boat builders. The modern Turkish gulet is very similar in design but with all the modern conveniences you would expect on a yacht charter. They vary in size and standard, with many now including air conditioning. Many of the Gulets have been designed to sail as well as motor.
