Private experience
Charter a private gulet cruise Turkey experience along the Turquoise Coast—Kaş, Fethiye, Göcek coves, swimming days, and boutique onboard living.
Quick answer
A private gulet cruise in Turkey is a crewed wooden yacht charter along the Turquoise Coast, typically focused on swimming coves, coastal towns, and slow Mediterranean days without fixed group cabin mates.
Duration
From 1 private boat day to multi-night charters
Best for
Honeymoons, families, and travelers who want sea days after culture
A gulet is a traditional Turkish wooden yacht. Privately, you charter the boat for your group—crew included—and sail or motor between pine-backed coves on the Turquoise Coast. Days are for swimming, lunch onboard, and quiet anchorages; evenings can be onboard or in Kaş, Kalkan, or Fethiye.
Many private Turkey itineraries add a single private boat day from Fethiye or Göcek. Travelers with more time book 3–7 night charters. We match the format to seasickness tolerance, budget, and how much land-based culture you still want.
Classic sequencing is Istanbul → Cappadocia → Ephesus → Turquoise Coast. A private gulet cruise becomes the soft landing after archaeology and cities—especially popular on honeymoon Turkey and 14-day grand routes.
