Discover Luxury at Sea with Aren Yachting – 2026 Summer Season Gulet Holiday Guide

Introduction

Welcome to the ultimate Gulet Holiday Guide, your comprehensive resource for planning an unforgettable escape along the Turquoise Coast. A gulet holiday, often referred to as a “Blue Cruise,” offers a unique blend of traditional Turkish craftsmanship and modern luxury. Whether you are looking for a private sanctuary for your family or a social adventure in the Mediterranean, understanding the nuances of life on board is the first step toward your dream vacation.


What to Expect on Your Gulet Holiday

  • Traditional Comfort: Gulets are handcrafted wooden vessels ranging from 15 to 40 meters, featuring spacious sun decks and comfortable en-suite cabins.
  • Professional Service: Every charter includes a dedicated crew, typically a captain and a chef, to handle navigation and gourmet meal preparation.
  • Custom Itineraries: Private charters allow you to tailor your route through famous destinations like Bodrum, Marmaris, or the secluded coves of Gökova Bay.
  • Authentic Dining: Experience “sea to plate” dining with fresh Mediterranean flavors served al fresco on the wooden deck.

Essential Planning Tips

  • Pack Light: Use soft-sided luggage to fit easily into cabin storage spaces.
  • Timing is Key: While July and August offer peak sunshine, the shoulder seasons of May, June, and September provide mild weather and fewer crowds.
  • Onboard Essentials: Bring high SPF sunscreen, polarized sunglasses, and soft-soled deck shoes to protect both yourself and the vessel’s wooden finish.
