A gulet is a traditional wooden motor-sailer built for the Turkish coast — and chartering one is the classic way to explore the Aegean and Mediterranean. With a professional crew and a cook onboard, you sail between coves and islands while someone else handles everything. Sailio lists crewed gulets across Turkey's top destinations: Bodrum, Göcek, Fethiye, Marmaris, and beyond.
Browse Gulet ChartersGulet charters combine the freedom of a private yacht with the comfort of a floating hotel. Most gulets sleep 6 to 12 guests in air-conditioned cabins with ensuite bathrooms, and include a spacious deck for dining and lounging, a tender boat for shore trips, and a full crew: captain, sailors, and a cook who prepares fresh local meals twice a day.
A typical crewed gulet charter includes the boat, captain and crew, fuel for normal cruising, use of onboard equipment (kayaks, paddleboards, snorkeling gear), and daily housekeeping. Catering is usually quoted separately or as an all-inclusive add-on — full board with breakfast, lunch, and dinner is the most popular option.
You can charter by the cabin (great for couples or small groups) or the whole boat (ideal for families and friends). Prices vary by boat size, season, and route. High season (July–August) is the busiest; May, June, and September offer the same beauty with lighter winds and lower prices.
The most popular gulet routes are the Bodrum–Gökova blue cruise, the Fethiye–Göcek loop, and the Marmaris–Datça peninsula. All are 7-night loops with daily swim stops, ancient ruins, and small harbor towns. On Sailio you can compare gulets, check included services, and message the owner before booking.
