Happy Days
Happy Days is a tremendous gulet, sleek and stylish she will be turning heads wherever she sails
Recently renewed Happy Days has been treated with the utmost love and affection. Boasting 5 spacious cabins she can comfortably accommodate up to ten guests ( 2 master cabins, 1 double and 2 twins each with en-suite shower and W/C). Sleeping quarters are furnished in a contemporary style and are spacious.
At 26.5m in length she has a huge teak sun deck providing oodles of space for basking and lazy siesta-filled afternoons. En plein air suppers take place at the stern and the excellent chef produces delicious feasts of freshly grilled meats and a smorgasbord of sumptuous meze. All lovingly created from the galley below.
The captain runs an extremely relaxed yet professional ship and the crew are extremely friendly and attentive, making you feel at ease from the moment you arrive. Time at sea is spent meandering between bays and stopping off for solitary swims (often the boat will have an entire cove all to itself), feasting over languid lunches while enjoying the Mediterranean breeze and the most sensational seascapes. The ambience is very relaxed – barefoot, sea hair – who cares vibes so there is no need to dress for dinner. Unwind to the relaxing sounds of the sea in utter peace and solitude while being in the hands of the utterly professional captain and crew who are on hand to ensure you have the most wonderful of stays.
Those who prefer to stay connected can benefit from the satellite television and WiFi connection. The active might enjoy some time on land soaking up the local scene and getting in touch with the culture. There is of course, also an array of excellent water sports should you wish to pick up the pace.

Gulet holidays: Good to know
What you don’t need to bring:
High heels (you can’t wear shoes on deck; flats and sandals are definitely bets for going ashore. Either you will be getting off by tender onto a beach or jetty or you will be negotiating a gangplank)
Lots of clothes- life aboard is very informal
Beach towels and bathroom towels
What you might like to bring:
Snorkel and slippers
Plenty of suncream and after sun as well as mosquito repellent (just in case)
Pashmina or jumper if travelling in May and October as it can get chilly on deck in the evenings.
