Turkish Gullets


Gullets are beautiful teakwood motor-sailing boats, designed and built in Bodrum (ancient Halicarnassus, the home of the Mausoleum) since the 1960s. Their good looks and luxurious accommodations make them very popular for blue voyages. Most gullets have five to eight cabins, and vary between 60 and 100 feet long. Each cabin comes equipped with a private toilet and shower, and 24-hour hot water. The rear deck of the yacht is used for serving meals; the front deck is good for sunning, naps, and even sleeping under the stars. There are enough mattresses on deck so that those who wish to can stay outdoors for all twenty-four hours. The boat also comes equipped with simple water toys such as a wind-surfer and kayak, so that guests can play during their free time.

The yacht's efficient crew consists of a captain, a cook, and a first mate. Our style of blue voyage differs from many others, in that we don't simply lie under the sun all day but actively explore antiquities which are only accessible from isolated landings. While we hike through pine-forested trails overlooking the blue waters of the Mediterranean, our crew may be preparing to meet us at a new mooring.
