24m Sailing Gulet Charter Marmaris | 2006 | YU2405

Two masts, a varnished timber hull and a genoa that actually gets used: a sailing gulet charter Marmaris guests remember is the one that switches the engine off. She lies at Netsel Marmaris Marina and takes ten guests in five double cabins, each with its own electric head.

Built in 2006 and refitted in 2020, she was finished as a private yacht rather than as a day boat, and the joinery shows it. For a family or five couples, a sailing gulet charter Marmaris of this size keeps the whole yacht to one party.

Twenty-four metres, built in 2006 and refitted in 2020

She measures 24 metres overall with a 6.8-metre beam and draws 3.1 metres. A 280 hp diesel, 3,000 litres of fuel and 3,000 litres of fresh water cover the legs between the Hisarönü Gulf and the Gulf of Fethiye, while radar, a saloon GPS plotter and autopilot handle the navigation. The classic mainsail and headsail are set whenever the afternoon breeze fills in.

A crewed sailing gulet charter Marmaris

The yacht comes with a permanent crew and a chef, and the transit log is included in the rate. That is what separates a sailing gulet charter Marmaris from a bareboat week: breakfast appears on the aft deck without being ordered, the dinghy is launched when you look at the beach, and the table is cleared while you are still in the water.

The standard route runs west into the Hisarönü Gulf toward Selimiye, Bozburun and Datça, or east to Ekincik, the Dalyan delta and the twelve islands of Göcek. A sailing gulet charter Marmaris is measured in anchorages rather than in miles, and few legs run longer than three hours.

Dinner is where Mediterranean gastronomy earns the itinerary. The crew keep a short list of boat-in-only kitchens, the jetty tavernas at Selimiye and Bozburun among them, where the only approach is from the water and the menu is whatever the day brought in. On the nights between, the chef serves aboard.

Saloon, galley and living space

The saloon is panelled in polished mahogany with brass inlay underfoot, air-conditioned throughout, and furnished with a long banquette and a dining table for ten. Roller blinds shade the panoramic windows, and the wheelhouse sits directly forward. This is the interior a sailing gulet charter Marmaris is judged by.

The galley is fitted for a working chef rather than for show: cooker and oven, fridge, freezer, ice maker and a coffee machine, with a barbecue rigged on deck for the nights at anchor. A generator carries the air conditioning and the domestic circuits without a shore line.

Five cabins

Five double cabins sleep ten, each with its own electric head, shower, air conditioning and hanging storage. Two are laid out as twins for friends travelling together, the master carries a settee and a full en-suite, and every room is finished in the same dark mahogany. A sailing gulet charter Marmaris with five en-suite cabins and no bunk berths is a deliberate trade against guest numbers.

On deck and in the water

Sun pads run forward of the foremast, the aft deck carries a dining table for ten inside a horseshoe of cushioned seating, and a bimini covers the whole of it. A dinghy, a kayak and snorkelling sets are carried aboard, and the outside shower and swim ladder make the water the default room of a sailing gulet charter Marmaris.

Charter this gulet in Marmaris

Rates open at €9,625 per week for the whole yacht with crew and transit log included, which places this sailing gulet charter Marmaris in the middle of the crewed market rather than at the top of it. Smaller parties should compare the 24-metre classic gulet in the same port or the 30-metre mahogany gulet in Bodrum, while the wider fleet is listed under charter yachts. Background on the type is at Wikipedia.
