About Our Yacht – 24m Traditional Gulet
This 24-meter gulet combines classic Turkish design with practical comfort, making it an excellent choice for larger groups seeking an affordable yet enjoyable charter experience. With a beam of 6.75 meters, the yacht offers stable cruising and generous deck space. The vessel accommodates up to 16 guests across 8 double cabins, each designed to provide privacy and comfort throughout the journey.
Indoor and outdoor dining areas allow guests to enjoy meals in different settings, while the spacious sun deck with cushioned sun mats provides an ideal area for relaxation.

Why This Charter Stands Out
This Gulf of Gökova itinerary offers a carefully curated blend of natural beauty, cultural discovery, and relaxed cruising. With short sailing distances, diverse anchorages, and consistent crew support, the experience remains both comfortable and engaging throughout. The balance of peaceful bays, historical landmarks, and scenic landscapes ensures a rewarding journey, while the gulet’s spacious layout and cost-effective nature make it an attractive option for group charters seeking value without compromising on experience.
