Ariva 1

Ariva 1 is a gulet of 23 metres, built in 2000, and she carries the traditional character of the Turkish coastal sailing vessel with the comfort expected of a private charter. Her length and proportions suit a party of up to twelve guests who wish to share one vessel without sacrificing privacy, and her crew of four attends to the running of the yacht so that guests can attend to their own plans.

She is based in Bodrum, the peninsula port from which many of the finest passages along the Turkish coast begin. Her cruising is focused on Türkiye, where the indented shoreline, sheltered anchorages and clear water make a gulet an ideal way to explore at an unhurried pace, stopping where the mood takes the party.

Her six guest cabins allow each couple or pair of travellers their own space aboard, and the simple, well-kept accommodation reflects the practical elegance of a vessel designed for life on the water. Guests will find she is at ease with families, friends and small celebrations alike.

Ariva 1 suits those who value a relaxed, traditional holiday at sea, with a dependable crew, a settled home port and a route defined by the beauty of the Turkish coastline.
