Top 10 Luxury Gulet and Yacht Charters in Turkey
Turkey has long been one of the top destinations for travellers seeking sun, sea and sand – and it’s home to some of the most breath-taking cities in the world, including Istanbul, known as the Gateway to Asia. Turkey is also situated in a prime position for yachting holidays, with hundreds of kilometres of picturesque coastline and a mass of paradise islands for you to visit.
If you’re planning a luxury yacht charter to Turkey, here are some of the finest sailers, gulets and yachts you can hire through East Med Yachting.
Suheyla Sultan
The Suheyla Sultan is royal in both name and nature – the stunning interior features contemporary, minimalist design that simply exudes luxury, for the most relaxing and enjoyable stay. Six large double cabins (four of which are double suites) mean there’s plenty of room for your friends, family members or other special guests, and there’s plenty of entertainment to enjoy onboard, including a cinema system, iPod dock, an on-deck Jacuzzi and a collection of board games (for those who like things a bit retro). The boat also comes with an array of toys to be used out on the open water, from inflatable rafts to fabulous jet skis and snorkelling gear.

She offers timeless style, stunning furnishings and elegant seating through, for a comfortable and extravagant atmosphere.

Mare Nostrum
Mare Nostrum was the old Roman name for the Mediterranean Sea – so it’s appropriate that you could soon be gliding over the waves on a sumptuously furnished yacht of the same name. This beautiful gulet has everything you need to entertain guests or relax with loved ones, with plasma televisions, luxurious space for sunbathing, a private bar and on-deck Jacuzzi. All cabins are the same size on Mare Nostrum, and there’s enough accommodation for up to twelve guests, with an additional crew of seven to ensure your every whim is catered to.

Mezcal II
Mezcal II is modern, stylish and incredibly comfortable – the perfect gulet for exploring some of Turkey’s coastal jewels. The spacious salon with panoramic windows is one of the obvious focal points, and your guests will gravitate towards this beautiful space – that is, when they’re not sunbathing on the generous decks or taking a dip in the Spa Pool tub.

In fact, she was a finalist at the Showboats Design Awards for both interior and exterior design, garnering great acclaim from respected industry judges. The open plan salon and dining area is very modern, and the formal dining space is a great area to entertain all of your guests at once. You’ll have a chef on board as part of your four-strong crew, so why not take advantage and enjoy an array of delicious meals while you explore the Med around Turkey? For those who like to have fun on the open water, you’ll get to enjoy toys like water skis and kayaks – but if you prefer to stay dry and kick back on the boat itself, you’ll certainly love the upper sundeck, with wet bar and plenty of sunning space.
