A gulet holiday is a unique and luxurious way to explore the Mediterranean aboard a traditional Turkish wooden yacht. These handcrafted vessels, known as gulets, combine timeless elegance with modern amenities, offering a personalized and intimate travel experience. Unlike large cruise ships, gulet holidays provide exclusivity, privacy, and flexibility, making them ideal for families, couples, or groups.
Imagine cruising through crystal-clear waters, savoring gourmet Mediterranean cuisine, and anchoring in hidden bays untouched by crowds—this is the essence of a gulet holiday.
Gulets originated as functional wooden boats used for fishing and transporting goods along Turkey’s southern coast. In the mid-20th century, as tourism blossomed in the Turkish Riviera, these vessels were reimagined as leisure yachts. Today, gulets represent Mediterranean luxury, blending traditional craftsmanship with modern conveniences.
