Constructed mainly in shipyards in Bodrum, Bozburun, Marmaris, and Istanbul, and along the Black Sea Coast, the boats are equipped with motors as well as fully functional rigging. The number of passengers a gulet carries depends on the boat's size, although most of them accommodate between eight and twelve people.

Modern Gulets are comfortably equipped with all the amenities of home and encourage an environment in which you are expected to do nothing but enjoy yourself.
