About Crewed Sailing Yacht KAYHAN 8
KAYHAN 8 is a custom-built gulet offering authentic sailing in the Turkish Aegean. Her generous deck spaces, teak surfaces, and thoughtful layout accommodate up to 12 guests across 6 cabins, each with ensuite facilities and individual climate control. Originally conceived with 10 cabins, the yacht was redesigned to prioritise comfort and breathing room.
The saloon provides a refined retreat with entertainment systems, whilst exterior dining tables forward and aft allow guests to take meals against the backdrop of Fethiye and Gocek waters. Twelve sun cushions dot the teak deck, ideal for those seeking solitude or social gathering throughout the day.
A professional, trained crew handles all navigation and service, whilst a dinghy, canoe, and fishing equipment extend your range for exploration and leisure. Wireless connectivity is available along Turkish coasts via local carriers.
