About Gulet KAFTAN
Gulet KAFTAN offers authentic Eastern Mediterranean cruising from her home waters around Bodrum and Gocek. Built in Tuzla and comprehensively refitted in 2022, she balances traditional wooden-hull character with contemporary conveniences, appealing to discerning charterers who value substance over spectacle.
The yacht accommodates up to 8 guests across 4 air-conditioned cabins, each with ensuite facilities. The master features a king-size bed; two additional doubles and a triple cabin complete the sleeping arrangements. A dedicated crew of four manages all navigation, hospitality, and galley duties, allowing you to focus entirely on the experience.
Onboard amenities span air conditioning throughout, Wi-Fi in Turkish waters, water maker, and generator. The saloon provides dining and lounge space, whilst the generous deck area suits both quiet contemplation and social dining. A 4.6-metre RIB tender with two sea scooters, paired kayaks, paddleboards, water skis, and snorkelling gear ensure active guests remain engaged.

The Charter Experience
A week aboard KAFTAN typically unfolds between the Turkish Riviera's pine-clad bays and the Aegean's quieter anchorages. Your crew sources provisions locally, preparing meals tailored to dietary preferences (full board, half board, or expenses-only options available). Mornings suit gentle exploration by tender or paddleboard; afternoons anchor in crystalline shallows for swimming and snorkelling. Evenings bring dinner on deck, often accompanied by local wine and unhurried conversation. The gulet's moderate cruising pace prioritises comfort over distance, rewarding those who favour immersion over itinerary.
Suggested Itinerary
A typical Aegean itinerary might begin in Bodrum or Gocek, proceeding southwestward toward Seski Bay, Ekincik, and the emerald coves near Dalyan before returning via Fethiye. Alternatively, a northern trajectory reaches Hisaronu Bay and the pine forests of Bozburun. Each anchorage offers snorkelling, tender exploration, or simply anchored relaxation. Your crew advises on seasonal conditions, protected bays, and local markets, crafting your passage to suit the group's pace and interests.
