Gulet Charter in Bozburun
Private weekly gulet charters from Bozburun – the traditional boat-building village on the Bozburun peninsula, gateway to the Hisarönü Gulf, Selimiye and the Greek island of Symi.
Bozburun is where many of Turkey’s finest wooden gulets are built and based. The village sits on a quiet natural harbour on the peninsula south-west of Marmaris, and it is the closest gulet port to the unspoilt bays of the Hisarönü and Symi gulfs. Many guests know the area simply as Marmaris – Bozburun is about an hour’s drive from Marmaris town and around two hours from Dalaman Airport.
From Bozburun, a week at sea takes you to Selimiye, Söğüt, Bozukkale and Dirsek, with the option of crossing to Symi in Greece for a day. We arrange your private transfer from Dalaman Airport and plan the route with your captain.
