Rent a gulet
A yacht, or a catamaran, is a popular vessel that is found almost everywhere. But if you want something original and exotic, renting a gulet is the way to go. Gulet is a traditional wooden boat in the Mediterranean.
They were used by fishermen and traders as early as the 18th and 19th centuries. In fact, the gulet was the main mode of transport before the advent of steamboats. But with the increase in the number of tourists, and the development of the sea cruise industry, gulet rental, especially in Turkey, has become a popular and sought-after service.
A modern gulet looks like its historical ancestor rather externally, inside it is a modern yacht with all the usual attributes and amenities. There are cabins, bathrooms, a kitchen and common areas. This is a large yacht with a lot of space.
Its design does not imply quick and sharp maneuvers. A gulet is designed for a quiet holiday at sea for a large group of people. The gulet has sails, but if its historical prototype moved to the sea with their help, then they are almost never used on modern ships.
Since the dimensions of this boat are very impressive, it can only accelerate to 10 knots, so it will not go on a long route, but there will definitely be enough reserves on board for a week-long tour J
Türkiye has preserved the traditions of gulet building best of all. There are shipyards that build new boats, and popular resorts where gulet rentals flourish - Bodrum and Marmaris.
