Gökçe – 25m Air-Conditioned 5-Cabin Gulet Charter from Marmaris
Gökçe is a 25-metre ketch-rigged wooden gulet, built in 2010 and refreshed in 2023, sailing from Marmaris. Warm mahogany interiors, a long teak aft deck and oversized sunbeds give her the classic charm of a Turkish blue cruise with modern comfort.
With five air-conditioned cabins for ten guests and a friendly crew of three, she is a great-value gulet charter in Marmaris for families and groups of friends who want to explore the Hisarönü and Bozburun bays at their own pace.

Cabins and Accommodation on Gulet Gökçe
Gökçe has a master cabin, two doubles and two twin cabins, each with its own en-suite bathroom and air conditioning. The twins are ideal for children or friends travelling together, and the traditional mahogany finish keeps the authentic gulet feel below deck.
Life on Board: Classic Gulet, Easy Comfort
Days on Gökçe revolve around the deck: long breakfasts at the aft table, swims straight off the stern and afternoons on the big sunbeds. When the wind is right the crew sets the sails, giving you a taste of true gulet sailing.
Evenings are relaxed and sociable, with mezes and fresh fish served under the awning while the boat lies at anchor in a quiet cove.
Turkish Cuisine and Dining on Gökçe
Turkish cuisine is one of the highlights of a gulet charter in Turkey. On board Gökçe, the chef prepares fresh, home-style dishes with ingredients bought daily in local markets in Bodrum, Marmaris, Göcek and Fethiye. Each day starts with a traditional Turkish breakfast – fresh simit and bread, village cheeses, olives, tomatoes and cucumbers, honey and clotted cream (kaymak), menemen and eggs cooked to order, served with Turkish tea.
Lunch at anchor brings colourful Aegean mezes – haydari, ezme, stuffed vine leaves, smoky aubergine and olive-oil vegetables – followed by grilled sea bass or sea bream, octopus or chicken şiş. Dinners under the stars feature slow-cooked lamb, kebabs and the catch of the day, finished with baklava, seasonal fruit and Turkish coffee. Vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, halal, kosher-friendly and children’s menus are all available on request, and the bar can be stocked with your favourite wines, rakı, champagne and cocktails.
Famous Restaurants Along the Coast – Ashore by Tender
A private yacht lets you combine meals on board with dinners at some of the most famous restaurants on the Turkish Riviera. The captain anchors close to shore and the crew takes you there by tender, waits or returns at the agreed time and brings you back for a late swim or a nightcap on deck. Around Bodrum, favourites include Yalıkavak Marina (home to Nusr-Et, Zuma and Sakhalin), the fishing village of Gümüşlük with seafront fish restaurants such as Mimoza, and chic Türkbükü with Macakızı. Near Marmaris and Datça, guests love the fish restaurants of Selimiye such as Sardunya, Manzara in Söğüt and the restaurants of D-Maris Bay, while around Göcek and Fethiye you can dine at Özcan in Göcek, D’Breeze at D-Resort or Adaia, a bay restaurant reached only by sea.
Many quiet bays in Gökova, Hisarönü and the Göcek islands also have small family-run restaurants with their own jetties, serving fresh fish, gözleme and village dishes. Aren Yachting can reserve your tables in advance – essential in July and August – and plan your route so that every evening ends at the right spot. Restaurant availability depends on the season and reservations.
Cruising Area: Marmaris, Bozburun and the Hisarönü Gulf
Gökçe’s home port is Marmaris, the gateway to the unspoilt Bozburun peninsula and the Hisarönü Gulf. Departures from Göcek or Bodrum are possible on request. A typical week on board looks like this:
- Day 1 – Marmaris: Board at Marmaris marina in the afternoon, meet the crew and enjoy a welcome dinner on deck.
- Day 2 – Kumlubük & Turunç: Swim in the clear bays just south of Marmaris, framed by pine-covered hills.
- Day 3 – Bozburun: Explore the traditional boatbuilding village of Bozburun and its quiet harbour.
- Day 4 – Selimiye: Anchor off the pretty village of Selimiye, famous for its waterfront fish restaurants.
- Day 5 – Bencik & Hisarönü Gulf: Swim and paddle in the narrow, fjord-like Bencik inlet.
- Day 6 – Kadırga & Ekincik: Sheltered coves ideal for snorkelling and lazy afternoons.
- Day 7 – Cennet Island: A final swim at Paradise Island before cruising back to Marmaris.
- Day 8 – Marmaris: Breakfast on board and disembarkation in the morning.

How Much Does a 5-Cabin Gulet Charter Cost per Person?
Shared between 10 guests, a week on Gokce starts from roughly €900 per person for the boat and crew in low season – great value compared with a luxury resort, with the added freedom of waking up somewhere new every morning. Food, drinks and port extras are added on top, and we will always send you a clear, all-inclusive estimate before you book.
Getting to Marmaris: Flights and Transfers
The closest airport for Gokce is Dalaman Airport (DLM), about 90 minutes by road from the marina. In summer there are direct flights of around four hours from London Gatwick, Stansted, Manchester, Birmingham and other UK airports, and travellers from the USA and Canada usually connect via Istanbul or a major European hub. Aren Yachting can arrange private transfers from the airport straight to the yacht, as well as hotel nights before or after your cruise.
Best Time to Charter Gokce
The sailing season runs from May to October. For families tied to school holidays, July and August are the busiest weeks, so we recommend booking several months ahead; couples and friends often prefer the softer light and lower prices of June and September. Sea temperatures reach 24–27 °C in high summer, perfect for swimming straight from the yacht.
Who Is Gokce Ideal For?
- ✓Large families and multi-generation holidays
- ✓Friends who want a private, relaxed week at sea
- ✓Travellers who prefer a home-like atmosphere to a hotel
- ✓First-time visitors to Turkey who want to see the coast from the sea
- ✓Guests who enjoy fresh Turkish food and quiet anchorages

Popular weeks in July and August are often reserved a year in advance, so it pays to enquire early. Tell us your group size, preferred dates and the kind of holiday you enjoy, and we will suggest the right route, check live availability on Gokce and send you alternatives with similar layouts and prices.
