Travelling with a big family, a group of friends or a company team? A private gulet charter is one of the best ways to keep everyone together on holiday. Instead of spreading across several hotel rooms, your whole group shares one beautiful wooden yacht – with its own captain, chef and crew, a long dining table on deck, and a different turquoise bay every day.
Turkey has the largest fleet of big gulets in the Mediterranean, with yachts for 12, 14, 16, 20 and even 36 guests. Below we have selected some of our favourite large-group gulets, sorted by size, with direct links to each yacht.

Tips for Planning a Large Group Charter
- ✓Book early: there are fewer large gulets than small ones, and the best weeks in July and August go first.
- ✓Plan the cabins: tell us who is travelling – couples, children, singles – and we will match you to the right cabin layout (doubles, twins or triples).
- ✓Think about two boats: for 20+ guests, two gulets cruising together can be more comfortable and more flexible than one very large yacht.
- ✓Agree the menu in advance: our chefs are happy to cater for vegetarians, children and special diets.
- ✓Celebrate on board: birthday cakes, decorations, live music and beach dinners can all be arranged.
