A harmonious blend of elegance & adventure

Escape the crowds and sail with your best people

A gulet cruise offers an enchanting and quintessential way to experience the Turkish Mediterranean, blending tradition with timeless elegance. Sailing aboard a handcrafted wooden vessel, guests are treated to breathtaking views of the rugged coastline, where lush pine forests cascade into the azure waters. The allure of a gulet lies not only in its picturesque charm but in the opportunity to explore secluded coves and pristine inlets, far from the usual tourist trails, where swimming in crystal-clear bays becomes a daily indulgence.
From May to October, gulets grace the Lycian and Aegean coasts, offering bespoke charters tailored for intimate gatherings, be it for family celebrations or milestone birthdays. With a dedicated captain, chef, and crew at your service, every detail is meticulously cared for—leaving you to relish the tranquillity of the journey.
Life aboard is a seamless blend of serene relaxation and understated luxury. Days are spent leisurely navigating between hidden bays, where alfresco lunches are savoured against the backdrop of endless sea vistas. By evening, as the boat anchors in secluded harbours, a canopy of stars and gentle lanterns create a magical setting for dining under the night sky.
Spacious teak decks provide ample room for sunbathing or simply reclining with a book, while those with a sense of adventure can try their hand at the helm. Activities abound, from windsurfing and kayaking to snorkelling and waterskiing, with opportunities to explore charming coastal villages and historical landmarks along the route.
At The Discerning Collection, we have carefully curated a selection of handpicked gulets all of which are based along Turkey’s stunning coast. Our private charters are perfect for those seeking to escape the crowds and explore at their own pace, surrounded by their favourite people. Each gulet has been selected for its exceptional onboard space, luxurious facilities, and array of water sports, ensuring your time aboard is nothing short of extraordinary.
We pride ourselves on working exclusively with gulets that are fully crewed by highly regarded teams, where was can promise our guests an experience that goes far beyond the expected. From a talented chef preparing sumptuous meals to a skilled captain who knows the most secluded bays and coves, every detail is meticulously taken care of. All that’s left for you to do is relax and choose where you might wish to drop anchor next. With The Discerning Collection, you’re guaranteed an unforgettable and truly bespoke journey along one of the most beautiful coastlines in the world.
