Head to Turkey for an authentic gulet cruise

Your Boat

Your cruise can take place aboard one of these gulets:

● L’Arif, one of the finest classic gulets in its class, measures 27 metres and blends perfectly with the Turkish coastline. At the stern, a spacious outdoor lounge with bench seating and a shaded dining area invites you to relax. At the bow, sun loungers and deck chairs complete this relaxing atmosphere. Inside, a cosy lounge with a dining area leads to cabins with a charming, authentic wooden interior.

● The Osman is an elegant 33-metre gulet, refurbished in 2018. It features pleasant outdoor spaces: at the stern, a large shaded area houses a convivial dining area, whilst at the bow, a relaxation area also offers a space sheltered from the sun. Its modern and spacious cabins offer all the comfort needed for a pleasant stay on board.

Important: The final name of the gulet will be announced approximately one week before departure, subject to availability.

The owner reserves the right to replace with a different boat model of the same quality and performance

Each gulets has 8 double cabins: the Arif has 6 double cabins and 2 twin cabins, whilst the Osman has 4 double cabins and 4 twin cabins.

Each of these cabins is air-conditioned and features a double bed or two single beds, built-in storage (wardrobes and drawers), portholes or windows, and an en-suite bathroom.
