A gulet is a Turkish wooden charter boat β typically 25β45m, two masts (usually motorsailed rather than sailed under canvas), beamy enough for spacious cabins and big deck areas. Built in the boatyards of Bodrum and Marmaris, sailed by Turkish crews, fed from a galley that's usually one of the trip's highlights.

Filters we pre-applied to the 7-cabin gulet charters shortlist below.
Galley-led
Three meals a day cooked on board β often the highlight of the trip. Turkish meze, fresh fish, regional dishes.
Full crew
Captain, cook, deckhands. You don't lift a line, raise an anchor, or wash a dish all week.
Deck space
Wide stern decks for dining, foredeck for sunbathing, often a flybridge with a jacuzzi. Designed for swimming-and-eating days, not racing.
Built for the bays
Shallow draft and long keel let gulets anchor in places sailing yachts can't. Most days end with the bow run gently onto a beach.

Frequently asked questions
For 7-cabin gulet charters.
How many guests fit on a 7-cabin gulet?
Typically 12β14 guests. The standard layout has one master cabin (king or queen bed) and 6 double or twin cabins. Some boats have a convertible bunk in the children's cabin that adds 1-2 spots for kids.
How much does a 7-cabin gulet charter cost?
β¬28,000ββ¬55,000 for a private week in mid-season (June or September). Peak season (July, August) adds 25-40%; shoulder months (May, October) sit 15-25% below. Cabin charter (per-person) runs β¬700-β¬1,400/person/week depending on boat tier.
What's the typical length of a 7-cabin gulet?
30β36m. Bigger gulets at the same cabin count run more spacious cabins and saloons; smaller boats at the same cabin count are more compact but cheaper to charter.
Are gulets actually sailed, or just motored?
Honestly, mostly motored. The rig is real but the trip isn't a sailing trip β it's a swimming-and-eating trip with sail-assist when wind allows. If you want to actually sail, look at a sailboat or catamaran charter instead.
How comfortable are the cabins?
Most modern gulets have ensuite double cabins with proper queen beds, A/C, and decent storage. Older or budget vessels can be smaller and noisier (the air-con sometimes kicks off at night when the generator is off). Always check year built / refit on the listing.
Cabin charter vs private charter?
Private = you book the whole boat, full price. Cabin = you book by the cabin, share with strangers, much cheaper. Roughly half of Turkish gulets offer both options.
