Sebahat Sultan – 24 m Classic Sailing Gulet with 2 Master Cabins for 10 Guests

With her gleaming varnished hull and billowing white sails, Sebahat Sultan is a picture-perfect Turkish gulet. Built in 2008, this 24-metre classic offers two master cabins and three double cabins for ten guests, all air-conditioned and en-suite, with a crew of three.

Her warm mahogany interior, generous teak decks and real sailing rig make her a favourite for families and groups who want the authentic romance of a 5 cabin gulet charter in Bodrum with genuine comfort.

Cabins and Accommodation on Gulet Sebahat Sultan

Two master cabins and three doubles give Sebahat Sultan a flexible layout for families and friends. Each cabin is finished in rich mahogany with air conditioning and a private bathroom – classic comfort on a traditional wooden gulet.

Life on Board: Classic Sailing Romance

Sebahat Sultan is a joy to sail: on breezy afternoons the crew sets her sails and the engines fall quiet. Back at anchor, the teak sun deck and shaded aft table are the centre of life on board.

Inside, a spacious mahogany saloon with sofas and a dining area offers a cool, elegant retreat, and the cook prepares fresh Turkish dishes from morning to night.

Turkish Cuisine and Dining on Sebahat Sultan

Turkish cuisine is one of the highlights of a gulet charter in Turkey. On board Sebahat Sultan, 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.
