Best Gulet options in Marmaris
From Marmaris’ lively harbor, sail to untouched villages of Hisarönü Gulf. Enjoy an authentic Aegean experience with modern comfort on traditional gulets.
Nestled in a spectacular natural harbour where pine-clad mountains meet turquoise waters, Marmaris is one of Turkey's premier gateways to the legendary Blue Cruise. The most authentic and soulful way to embark on this adventure is aboard a traditional Turkish Gulet. A gulet is more than just a boat; it's a floating boutique hotel that embodies the relaxed spirit, comfort, and culinary delights of the Aegean. Setting sail from Marmaris on a gulet is the first step on a timeless journey into the heart of the serene Hisarönü Gulf.
Marmaris is a strategic and vibrant hub for gulet holidays. Its primary advantage is providing direct access to the Gulf of Hisarönü, one of the most sheltered and tranquil sailing grounds in the Aegean. The spacious decks, comfortable living areas, and stable nature of a gulet are perfectly suited to these calm waters. A gulet holiday is not about speed; it's about the journey, relaxation, and experience. It offers the perfect platform for exploring the pristine coves of Hisarönü, savouring delicious meals, and simply living on the water.
The gulet charter season in Marmaris runs from May through to the end of October.
Depart from Marmaris harbour and cruise to nearby Paradise Island and Kumlubük for swim stops. Lunch is served on board, prepared by your chef. Spend the afternoon sunbathing and relaxing before returning to the harbour.
The closest airport to Marmaris is Dalaman Airport (DLM), with a transfer time of approximately 90 minutes. Marmaris is home to several large, well-equipped marinas, including Netsel Marina and Marmaris Yacht Marina, as well as a main harbour that hosts hundreds of gulets. For weekly charters, check-in is typically on Saturday afternoon between 3:00 PM and 5:00 PM.
The gulet is the soul of the Blue Cruise experience:
All commercial charter gulets are fully insured and equipped with all legally required safety equipment (life rafts, life jackets, etc.). The captain has the final say in all matters concerning the safety of the vessel and its passengers.
Think about your ideal holiday. Are you seeking quiet coves, charming villages, or historical sites? Determine your group size, preferred dates, and overall budget.
Gulets come in various categories (Standard, Luxury, Deluxe) and sizes. Consider the number of cabins, deck space, and amenities like air conditioning and water toys to find your perfect match.
A reputable charter agent will simplify the process, helping you find the right gulet, plan your itinerary, and handle the contracts.
Carefully review the charter agreement, ensuring you understand what's included in the price (crew, fuel, port taxes, etc.). Secure your booking with a down payment.
Provide your food and drink preferences to your agent so the chef can prepare. Discuss your general route preferences with the captain, but allow for flexibility.
Travel to Marmaris, board your floating home, and let your professional crew take care of everything as you begin your unforgettable journey on the Aegean Sea.
